Professional Customer Care
Eugene Pascucci “talked us through” several Pine Belt offerings which matched our checklist needs. In addition, Dave Kidd was also helpful answering our numerous questions and giving his experienced vehicle insight of considered vehicles. After ongoing conversations and email photos between Eugene and my son, a vehicle was chosen. My son took a train and Uber to Pine Belt, went on a test ride, signed on the line, and hours later drove away to his home in NYC. The point of main effort for this note is to highlight the amount of time Eugene put into matching a customer to a “right fit” vehicle. Throughout, Eugene was professional: friendly/upbeat, no pressure, a good listener, straightforward with vehicle considerations, and explaining the vehicle purchase to a first-time buyer. And again, Dave was always at hand.
Great car
Best car I’ve ever owned. Does everything I want//need it to do. Always starts in the morning. I’ve been camping with it and slept inside the car. Plenty of room

Bought a 2025 Ford Maverick from out of state and my
Bought a 2025 Ford Maverick from out of state and my experience with the whole team (including even the telephone receptionist) were just exceptionally nice and knowledgeable people to deal with . Nick Genovezos in sales was very well versed in the different options/trims available in the 2025 Maverick which was important since I was looking for the Maverick in a very specific color with very specific options. Also Freehold Ford gave me a very good trade-in price for my existing vehicle and also made the whole process re an out-of-state purchase very, very easy. I also want to mention that once I had decided to buy the truck from them, the finance people (Shane and Dennis) were also terrific to deal with. I have great credit and could have got a very low rate from USAA but they essentially managed to meet that same finance rate, and just as important, they were very good at explaining but not being "pushy" (which I hate) in trying to get me to buy other products (extended warranty,etc) which I did not need or want for this vehicle. I liked the experience so much, that when my son was looking for a White Ford Bronco Sporta few weeks later, I reached out to Nick but they didn't have any in White Bronco Sports in stock but within a few hours he called me back to say he might be able to get a White one with the options my son wanted from another dealer but that potential deal fell thru when the other dealer nixed the exchange at the last minute but that was certainly no fault of Freehold Ford/Nick. I was truly impressed with how quick and hard Nick worked to locate a vehicle for me that they didn't even have in stock. Overall, I just had a fantastic buying experience with them and I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a Ford car or truck.
2023 Ford Explorer XLT
Have only had vehicle for 3 weeks but really like it. I’ve had F150’s for the past 12 years and thought I’d miss my truck, but I’m really enjoying this explorer. It’s more comfortable and fun to drive and the gas mileage is better.

Nice vehicle
Quiet, comfortable and powerful car. I have the twin turbo that puts out 400 hp. General gas mileage is 19-20 city and 24-25 highway. The only thing that I would change on this vehicle is that I would like to be able to turn off some of the automatic operations on a semi-permanent basis.

This is the first explorer that I have owned in nearly 30 years. I am coming from a ram 1500. I am surprised how comfortable this explorer is I’m really enjoying the gas mileage between 21 to 23 in town. I have not taken a trip on the highway yet.
