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.

Auto Park Chrysler Jeep review

Awesome dealership! Awesome sales team!

My wife and I had an amazing experience! they helped us get our first car last year. And we came back and they helped us get a second car today. The entire sales team is very professional and they really go out of their way to make you happy and get you a vehicle. We worked with diamond! Diamond was very professional and courteous and he worked really hard to get my wife and I a second vehicle and he was able to get us approved for a vehicle. I would recommend everyone come to Chrysler Jeep dealership to buy a car.

2023 Ford Explorer XLT review

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.

Great customer Service and GREAT Prices

I have bought several vehicles from Deacon Jones Clearance Center. Randy and Justin are great. Their vehicles are always clean and I have had no problems with the cars I have bought in the past.

CarMax Raleigh review

More than expected

I have to say, this was the most pleasant buying experience I've ever had. Sales people were extreemly knowledgable, cheerful, and not pushy. Maybe even more impressive were the mechanics- probably the most experienced mechanics I've ever delt with- and in 40 years of driving and working on cars, that's saying something. Where else can you go and try out a dozen cars from as many different companies, all in one place.
