New and used 2025 Ford Explorer Active 4WD for sale near Lake Villa, IL

I purchased an Explorer from Joe Alessi. What is often a drawn out predicable process this was not. Joe is a down to earth guy that I would refer to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. Joe in finance breezed through the paperwork and did not pressure to buy any warranties. Overall a good auto dealer experience.

I upgraded from a 2017 Explorer Sport to a 2025 Explorer ST. It handles better. It sounds better. It is faster. The interior is way better. The seats hug you. The infotainment system is fast and works really well.

Josh from service is awesome he took my daughter’s car in The service department and told us the problem thank you Ernie Beck. Have a great day

Driving experience is great. Either engine is plenty of power but even the base 2.3l is very fast. Rear wheel drive bias is noticeable in driving dynamics making it fun to drive. The new Google based infotainment system one of the best in the industry in my opinion.. Almost don't even need a phone with how smart it is. Blue cruise is very convenient for long monotonous highway drives if equipped

I had a good time there the employee were so good and polite to me. The lady who assisted me is so cool

It is great to buy car from AUTONATION FORD Katy. Alicia, The sales person was great. Her performance shall be awarded by 5star rating. Thanks to her

The staff is very friendly and helpful. They services my vehicle quickly and sent me a report with what the service check found and what they recommended

This Explorer replaces a 2017 I loved. That car is still in the family. The Platinum Edition is fabulous, lots of bells and whistles. I choose to turn off the lane management system. It is somewhat aggravating. The automatic on off at stoplights can be irritating when you have a lot of stoplights. I will turn this feature off when I’m in traffic at a lot of lights. Otherwise, I keep it on. There is a great deal of new technology on the vehicle which is located on the center screen. It was not hard to learn, and although I’ve had this vehicle for a month I’m still learning a few things. This vehicle is a six seater with heated and ventilated seats. The back windows have screens, which is great when your transporting little children and anyone else the seats also have an automatic fold. This car will move quickly great pick up and even with a new car around town, I’m getting 20 1/half miles per gallon on regular gas. Although being a six seater, it is not too big. I had looked at a jeep which ran a good $13,000 more for the same features. The new body style on the Jeep was not appealing to a family member so we stuck with the Ford.

Everyone was friendly. Took care of what needed to be done. Didn't have to wear a mask. Made sure i was ok and didn't need anything since it was longer than expected with brakes

This is my third Explorer…and this time I chose the Platinum edition. The exterior is about the same but with some very tasteful updates to the rear taillights and front grill. The interior is dramatically improved with a variety of materials used throughout. The larger touchscreen is easy to use. This is the first Android based platform and it is easy to use and worked seamlessly with Apple CarPlay. The Blue Cruise auto-driving feature is very impressive- and once you get over the hesitation of letting the car steer itself is very useful especially on long interstate trips. All in all this is the best Explorer I’ve had.

Best dealership I've ever done business with! This is my second time working with Joe Alessi who got me a fair deal again, was courteous, knowledgeable and always respectful of my time. Everything went smoothly.

Great experience! Made it so easy to walk out with a new car. Ruben was very professional and knowledgeable.

Very good service and extra help with purchasing the car and recenble prices and trustful deals no complain about any they serves recommend it to any one shopping for new car

Wanted to give a shout out to the following guys who made my experience 1st class! Mike S - General Manager. He went above and beyond to satisfy my various concerns. He was courteous, polite, respectful and a gentleman. I appreciated his return calls, answering texts and overall concern that I was a well satisfied customer. A+ Chris - Sales Manager Very pleasant, respectful and answered all my questions when I was at the dealership to purchase my 22' Ford 150 Lariat. A done well done. Bernie - Sales Bernie was very respectful from the moment I walked into the dealership to the final handshake closing the deal. I would highly recommend any interested in looking at a vehicle purchase to see Bernie. Ryan - Service Manager Ryan was awesome about calling me and letting me know that status of my vehicle, answering any of my questions, and going over all technical specs of the work being completed. Ryder - Porter Ryder is the man! I live an hour away and he drove my truck back and forth several times while they were completing some upgrades. He would drop off a loaner and take my truck. No complaints. Professional and a great asset to the team! These GUYS ROCK! They don't get enough credit for the hard work and effort put in on a daily basis dealing with the public. I own my own business, and value hard working individuals. I would definetely recommend them and Hopkins Ford. THANK YOU GENTLEMAN!

Bought a 2022 Bronco Sport. Just love it. Joe delivered it today. He stayed and helped me setup the FordPass. Thanks Joe L. & George in finance.

Quick and easy and the price was right for my oil change. Great to know the work is getting done with such talented staff.

We’re absolutely thrilled with our experience leasing a 2025 Mustang Mach-E from Golf Mill Ford! A special thank you to Jakub and Damian for going above and beyond, especially for communicating clearly with my Polish-speaking parents. Their patience and professionalism made a big difference for our family. Everyone we worked with was respectful, honest, and well-prepared. The communication was smooth and transparent the entire time, unlike other dealerships we visited, there were no surprises when it came to pricing. We visited twice before finalizing the lease and both times we felt completely comfortable and welcomed. It truly felt like they cared about helping us make the right decision, not just making a sale. Overall, this was a very pleasant experience and our whole family is extremely with the new car. Thank you again, Golf Mill Ford!

Ruben went above and beyond my expectations to make the best experience possible. I highly recommend him.

In spite of my mobility, Sales-Chester, did outstanding job. Attention to detail, helping to setup Test drive of The Ford Edge, & working as an overall quarterback to keep everything moving. A great experience!!

I recently had my 2015 car serviced at Heights Ford and couldn’t be happier with the experience. They repaired my air conditioner (clutch) and replaced the rear brakes, and the work was excellent. The technician kept me updated throughout the process and even coordinated directly with my Ford warranty company, which made things so much easier. What stood out most was their patience, attention to detail, and commitment to making sure my car was properly covered and serviced the right way. I highly recommend Heights Ford for anyone looking for trustworthy, thorough, and professional service. Thank you!

Great experience. First time buying a car and we were late to the dealership but Alexia was very helpful. Everything was straightforward and upfront, and we were out of there in no time.

Outstanding service advisor and technician! All services performed on time at quoted price! Highly recommend!

Adal and Ignacio were very very very helpful and energetic i would recommend them for all my purchases and all my families and friends purchases i will tell everyone about them and that hopkins ford is the best dealership ever and gives awesome deals and makes dreams happen!
