New and used 2025 Ford Explorer Active RWD for sale near Venice Gardens, FL

I purchased a used car from Sarasota Ford. My sales person was Andy Maleszka. He was friendly and gave me a great buying experience.

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

Always get great service at this store, they are all very helpful get use in and out as quickly as they can. The staff is always kind and helpful.

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.

Jamal was the most amazing service advisor I have ever come in contact with ever

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.

Mike was great. Recommend seeing him for your car buying needs. He will do everything he can to send you off in the vehicle of your dreams.

Thank you Mike Bolton for a amazing truck buying experience..i bought my truck remote from Arizona. Traveled to Florida to pick it up. Mike treated me to lunch then did a test drive kn the rain. The finance dept did a excellent job handling the paperwork and they had me on my way back to Arizona..thank You to sarasota ford
