Phenomenal Experience
Great all-around. Everyone was a pro and the type that make things happen.
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.

this is an amazing dealership if I could give it more
this is an amazing dealership if I could give it more than 5 stars I would - will be recommending to everyone i know for sales AND service!
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.

I would highly recommend the dealership and Will in particular, they exceeded our expectations. Thank you again to Rt. 23 Ford,we love our new Explorer.
Impressive
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.

Best Dealership Ever!
Could not be happier with my experience with Verner-Cadby Ford! From the moment I walked in I was treated nicely and everyone was so kind. I can not recommend this dealership, especially Tyler, enough! My new Escape is awesome and the experience was excellent, easiest car purchase I've ever had. If you're looking for a new car definitely give Verner Cadby Ford a try! Ask for Tyler!

Great Experience!
I bought a 2023 Ford Explorer from Route 23 Automall. From start to finish the process was transparent, quick and easy. The sales manager, Solomon, went above and beyond to answer all of my questions and make me feel as comfortable as possible with my purchase. I did not feel pressured in any way unlike at most dealerships. It was a pleasure doing business here and I highly recommend buying a car from Route 23 Automall!
