New and used 2025 Ford Explorer Active 4WD for sale near Pingree Grove, IL

The buying experience at Fair Oaks Ford was easy and my sales rep, Jose, was great to work with. The process from start to finish was very quick and efficient, and I was very pleased with the sales staff as a whole. 0% for 48 months was ideal as well.

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.

Easy and pleasure to do business with Highland Park Ford / Lincoln . Whole process took about an hour . All documents filled easy and accurate. Second time buying car from them.

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.

Thank you for the great experience Everardo. Will definitely recommend to friends about Gillespie ford.

I bought and get my vehicle serviced here because I enjoy working with the people at that company. I have been working with them for years.

Had a great experience with Mark. Knowledgeable and informed. Respectful and communicated well. I highly recommend.

Rae was awesome and gave us a great overall experience. She was patient and not high pressure at all. She was very knowledgeable and I would definitely work with her again.

Rheya was great! I love my new truck and the process was smooth! Thank you

This is my Second purchase with them, they have a excellent team and overall great experience with tons of details explained.

Excellent and professional. Answer all my questions, even when I came back with more. The people I worked with were courteous and knowledgeable. I would recommend them unconditionally

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!

Go see Bill. He is great! His consultative approach is refreshing in that biz. He knows about the cars instead of just working the deal like most others. The Managers were prepared and in time. No crazy wait times I was in and out in less than 1.5hrs! I would highly recommend this dealership and Bill specifically.

Great service, The dealer picked up my car and dropped it off after service.

Had no problem everything went well,I just recommend ,faster communication,between the dealer and buyer,I would definitely recommend this dealership.I came from another state to purchase.

Omar, (Service writer) went beyond to help me with what my vehicle needed

I found the salesman and the manager to be very helpful. Also, they were very good at communicating and getting everything taken care of in a very orderly and timely fashion. This is a great place to do business they go out of their way to make sure they get what you want taken care of and provide you with what you need Great experience!

I completed my deal in less then 2 hours , gave me good money for my trade and a deal on the new one.

This was the best car buying experience I have ever had. Bryan (sales manager) is awesome and very friendly! He made the process very smooth and did not haggle me through any part. Eddie (finance) was also notably very helpful and friendly. He showed me the warranty but did not give me a hard time or pressure me into anything other than I came for. He even helped me with a discount for what I originally came in for. Overall 10/10 facility, staff and experience!

Enjoyed my experience purchasing my new car. Everyone was very friendly and answered all my questions. Alex did a great job at showing me the vehicle and answering all the questions I had about it.

This dealership is above the rest. It was recommended by a friend of mine and I was not disappointed. In fact, it has changed my opinion about domestic car dealerships. From the scheduling of an appointment to the actual service technician, the experienced has been an absolute pleasure. I am sure that whomever is hiring for this dealership is selecting the best people. One thing is to have the technical qualifications to do the job but the most important factor in hiring people that will be interacting with the general public is people skills. Every time I call to schedule an appointment Molly has the nicest attitude over the phone. The same thing goes to the Mobile Service Technician Isaias Sanchez. An absolute pleasure to interact with him. Courteous, service oriented, and willing to offer explanation of the work being done. Like I said earlier, not everyone has the people skills to deal with the general public. These people are the best! You won't be disappointed to get service from Hawk Ford of St. Charles. I live about 30 miles from the dealership and have other Ford dealers closer my house but I pick Hawk Ford for service over those dealerships just because of the people there.

Worked with Nathan on leasing a F150 and explorer. He was great to work with, very polite and professional. He got us a great deal on both vehicles. Will definitely be going back for future vehicles, and highly recommend going with Wickstrom Ford.
