Used 2022 Ford Explorer XLT for sale near Ocean Gate, NJ

If buying a car always went like this, people wouldn’t dread it. The team was on top of everything and the process was effortless. Cara Z was fantastic—no salesy nonsense, just honest knowledge and great energy. Picked up a 2025 Honda Ridgeline that looked exactly as advertised. 10/10 would shop here again. Erika was great too!!!

I purchased the 2022 Timberline preowned about 1 month ago with appx 50k miles on it. I was disappointed that it does not have memory seats or a garage door remote button. (I didn't even notice this when test driving it). Who makes a car today with all the tech this car has and leaves off these 2 things! The interior is comfortable & well laid out. The ride is smooth & quiet. 2.3L turbo 4 cylinder is quiet & has amazing power. At idle it’s hard to tell that the engine is even running. The prior owner put on Michelin tires which contribute to the smooth, quiet ride. The seats are ActiveX (Ford’s name for vinyl) with cloth inserts. I’m 5’ 10” and 175lbs. My son who rode with me is 6’ 3” and 250lbs. Both of us found the seats comfortable & supportive on our 1st road trip. I’ve driven a Kia Telluride, which is a direct competitor. The Kia has a little more tech but I found the ride to be on the harsh side, especially in the second row. This may be attributable to the low profile 21” tires. The Timberline has 18” balloon tires which I much prefer. 2 weeks after purchasing it I made a 2,200-mile road trip from Dallas TX to Orgon. Fuel mileage ranged from 21 to 28 with an overall average of 24 mpg. *if I don’t drive over 70 mph on the highway the fuel economy goes up to about 32! *these numbers are from the actual miles & gallons of fuel used, not from the dash numbers, which I found are a little optimistic. It has a few bugs that I’ll have to deal with, but it’s a used Ford & not a Lexus. Overall, I'd say I'm very happy with this car & would recommend it.

I am a proud owner of a 2024 Cadillac Lyriq which I picked up a week ago. It took a while to finally get this new model but it was worth the wait. It is a wonderful car. From the beginning of the sales process Dave Mandra was an enormous help in working with me on the order, updating me on the order process over a number of months an assuring me that the Lyriq would be an exception EV. He was right. Dave and his collegues at Gold Coast are great to work with. I have bought or leased some 10 cars at Gold Coast and have always been happy with the experience and the following service at the dealership.

I love this vehicle. My 2022 Ford Explorer XLT far exceeds my expectations. Handling is great. Performance is far better than expected. Gas mileage is 26mpg combined average for the 16,500 miles I have on the vehicle so far. The interior fit and finish could be better and the original tires...not holding up very well. The vehicle is comfortable and always a pleasure to drive. I always get compliments on the exterior style. In my opinion, it's one of the better looking SUV's on the road. The rear biased drive train give it superior handling, better than anything I test drove. Chevy, Subaru, or the Kia.

I am happy with everything about my explorer. Get good gas mileage and is very comfortable ride. Traded my 2020 for this 2022. Love the color and have gotten lots of compliments.

Great experience overall! Very satisfied, got a great offer on my trade, and drove off with a better!

Looked at many different vehicles, very happy with 2022 Ford Explorer. The Explorer vehicle is very roomy with all the comforts of a luxury vehicle.

Matthew Lloyd was great . Excellent salesman and a great guy . I highly recommend his services

We have only had our vehicle for a short time but it meets and exceeds our expectation. We purchased the limited model due to the reduced noise inside of the vehicle

Wayne was super helpful with showing me all different trucks I was looking at that could be in my budget. He let me sit in and test multiple different trims to see what had all the features that I wanted. The one truck I ended up buying was one that originally was out of my price range but between Wayne and his manager, I believe Dennis, helped me get the payment to where I wanted to be. I would recommend going here for any Ford vehicle! Super Helpful and friendly!

Great service and Bill Fairgreaves in sales is there to always help you out! Highly recommended!

My sales rep antwan and the Finance manager Chris did a great job of helping me get into my dream vehicle. Definitely coming back here for my next one 🤩🤩🤩

Just had our daughters Fusion serviced. Chris P was very accommodating in getting her in on short notice. Very happy with the service.

My Salesman Nick Genovezos & the entire Freehold Ford staff were very easy to work with!!

I am going to start out by saying that never would I have envisioned myself owning a Ford. For years I swore up and down that I didn’t like Explorers…they’re too big and heavy. The trucks are okay, but just not for me. Ford was simply not on my radar. After dealing with Shane and Nick, I can honestly say that I can’t imagine buying any other brand…and I work at another car dealership! I was instantly greeted with smiling faces who made the process less stressful. Nick listened to what I was looking for in a car and was eager to show me options they had on the lot. He was extremely knowledgeable about the vehicles and their features. I appreciated that he was patient with me while I browsed the different cars and answered any silly questions I had. Once I finally picked out which one suited me best, we went to Shane the miracle worker. I was upside down and backwards in my previous vehicle and knew it wasn’t worth putting money into. Not only was Shane able to get me a higher mileage lease deal to accommodate my commute to work, but he was $150 LESS PER MONTH than another Ford dealer that I had visited the day prior. He went out of his way to figure out numbers that worked for me. Shane and Nick both stayed an hour and a half late so that I was able to drive home in my new car that night! They are very customer oriented and go out of their way to make sure the process is as seamless as possible. I am forever grateful for all the effort they put into me and finding me the perfect vehicle, and I can’t wait to visit them again in a few years when I’m ready for something new.

From start to finish everyone at Freehold Ford was a pleasure to deal with. They weren't high pressure, took into consideration my financial needs and helped me lease the vehicle that I really wanted. Nick Genovezos was a dream to work with. Liz was amazing answering all of my questions and Shane made the finance end a breeze. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend them!

Great customer service, from the moment I walked in there was no pressure. Wayne was my sales rep, he was great and you can have a normal convo with him with the pressure. Juan and Shane also helped out and both were respectful and to the point. I got a brand new Ford F150 on Friday March 20th 2026 and I was back on March 24th 2026 to buy a Explorer Platinum. That's how happy I was. I was dealing with another ford dealership for the last 12 years up to this point. I found a new home. If you live around Freehold Ford trust me you want to go there.

Devon was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. Never felt pressure he was honest kind and easy to talk to. I needed to have my family help me make my decision plus I had my two year old with me and he was so understanding and patient the entire time!

Great job. Fixed what was wrong and my Explorer is back on the road with no issues. This was the first vehicle I ever went start to finish on ALL maintenance with the dealership. In this case: a different Ford dealership I will call “Harry’s” Ford; from purchase until now. Don’t let anyone tell you all dealerships are the same. Every Service appointment was an issue at “Harry’s” Ford. Wait for weeks, claim items weren’t under warranty, upsell, “warn” you there would be future unrelated problems down the road and in the latest case: describing a disaster scenario over the phone in which they claimed they are moths out on the repairs I was describing. What? Without even doing a diagnostic check? Well that was the final straw for “Harry’s”. I called George Wall Ford and the difference was night and day. My service needs were met. I am on the road. All you could ask for in a Dealership friendly, organized, thorough and efficient.
