New and used 2025 Ford Explorer ST 4WD for sale near Big Rock, IL

Absolutely terrific service & experience buying a great car highly recommend. Entire staff was smart & friendly

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

We purchased a car from Brian Swidergal at the Rod Baker Ford Dealership in Plainfield, IL and it was such a wonderful experience. Brian was so easy to work with, he was patient, helpful and knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. We also did our financing through the dealership and that was also a very easy and smooth process. I highly recommend not only Brian, but the dealership and finance department as a whole.

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

Everyone at Friendly Ford in Roselle was great to work with!

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.

I usually dread dealing with car dealerships but Hawk Ford was different and went out of their way to make it positive, especially the salesman Rich Bergmann.

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.

They are simply amazing. Ken the service advisor is amazing and always takes care of me. Always makes me feel like I’m part of the family and my needs are always number one. Keep up the good work, everybody.

Our Sales Rep was helpful , processional, direct , and to the point. Alissa was experienced and kept us informed during our purchase. Bob was also very helpful with us in determining which extras we were interested in.

If you are looking to purchase a car, ask for Charles! Not only was he friendly and knowledgeable but has great customer service!! Very helpful!!

The sales, finance and service department are the best. Every once awhile I receive a text message asking me how the car is doing and if I need anything. The service department is always great.

I had a very pleasant experience at Fair Oaks Lincoln. Jude was awesome, very knowledgeable. Mo was fun. Overall, everything was great. I would definitely recommend Fair Oaks Lincoln.

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

Did a fine job on my truck .A. A . A . as good as it gets Until next time we meet again. Iam sure something in the D. E. F. system will FAIL.....

Well, experience at dealership was good only wish I would have kept old truck. The 139 point inspection on truck I purchased was pencil whipped. Multiple issues my local dealer had to fix first 2 months owning it. 80% of them should have been found on inspection. I'm very happy for having Ford Advantage which covered almost 4K in repairs.

My wife and I drove from Chicago to come and check out a certified Ford Escape. They gave us a very fair trade-in for our original car. They whole process was great and we look forward to getting our vehicle services or any other cars from this location.

Fair Oaks dealership was very clean and the nicest dealership I had ever done business with. The sales people were all very professional. My salesman, Robert, was so nice and helpful. It was a great experience!

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.

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!

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.

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!

absolute best car buying experience i have ever had. No pressure tactics, no games, and Eric Finion was the absolute best salesperson. Helped me get the car i wanted at the price i could afford. really can't say enough good things about this dealership.

I bought a new 2023 F-150 XLT from Hopkins Ford today. Jaden was my salesman, and he knew every question I had right away. He was extremely helpful, and was an awesome salesman. I’m very happy to do business with him, and Hopkins Ford. We couldn’t find a price that was going to work for me, but we kept talking for 5 more days, and they kept working harder and harder to get the truck to me at the price I needed it. They were finally able to make it work, and I’m very grateful that they worked so hard for me. I will absolutely be buying more cars from them in the future. I would 100% recommend this dealer, and Jaden as your salesman. Thanks Jaden!
