Great Dealership
Salesman Mike Hayes will get you in the right car for you.

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.

Excellent customer service
Quick, excellent service! Jarret Dupuis was pleasant, understood what we wanted and got it done! Very happy with our experience...I highly recommend Gene Butman Ford!
Driving experience is great.
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

Nothing other than GREAT!!!
Bought/ leased numerous cars from Taylor Ford over the past few years, the last few from Brian Patton. I can?t say enough good things about everyone from start to finish. From sales team, to finance, to reception, to service and cashiers, I have only dealt with one thing which was minor and handled immediately and to above my satisfaction.
It is great to buy car from AUTONATION FORD Katy.

Great dealership.
Great dealership. Shane Smith was wonderful to work with. They had the perfect car. I'm happy!
This Explorer replaces a 2017 I loved.
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.

Outstanding support and service from Al Oxley.
Outstanding support and service from Al Oxley. Purchased a truck from a different state and Al made the process as smooth as he could. I was and remain impressed. I had an exceptional experience purchasing my King Ranch F150 from Varsity Ford. Thank you Varsity Ford and Al Oxley for going above and beyond to make my experience exceptional.

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.

Kevin Emling Sales/ Happy customer
Saw used car on internet, stopped in to check it out. Kevin let me look over the car before approaching me. He was helpful answering my questions, explaining features. At NO time did I feel pressured to make a deal. We negotiated what I feel was a VERY FAIR PRICE. Car was handed over freshly washed and with ample gas to get me home. Well worth the hour and 15 minute drive. Kevin is a very fair, NO PRESSURE, friendly person to deal with. I would send anyone shopping for a vehicle to him. Nice waiting area, clean facilities, and free coffee too!

Dustin Shankle was great. My first time buying vehicle by myself but he was patient, kind and knowledgeable leading me through everything. Not pushy but there. I absolutely love Grace (the cars new name) but she has one problem she wants to go all the time. I might not get anything else done. Thank you Dustin

A great customer experience!
Today I had the pleasure of working with Les Tansel and George Low on my purchase of an immaculate, pre-owned ‘18 Ford Flex w/ ecoboost. Les greeted me at the door of their incredible, state-of-the-art new dealership. As promised, he had the Flex ready to go for my test drive. Les was very easy to work with and allowed me to share my goals with this purchase. I was pleasantly surprised with how well we worked together with achieving those goals. My Flex was detailed and ready to go before I knew it! I would highly recommend this dealership and specifically working with Les and George for any of your purchasing needs, you won’t regret it. Thank you both so much! All the way from Cincinnati, Marvin Q

A hassle free buying experience
5 Star purchase experience with Brondes Ford Lincoln But this isn’t news to the people of Maumee, OH. In fact, this was one of the first appeals that was revealed to us through the free Carfax that was made available for this used vehicle and here is where it showed the previous owner had actually purchased this vehicle 10 years earlier from this same dealership. That, alone, says a lot to me. Buying a car is stressful enough. But this experience was made all the easier by this super, family-friendly dealership who assisted my daughter through the process every step of the way. A special shout-out to salesman Darryl Horton for making this a totally painless and hassle free experience for us all.
