Used Ford Explorer for sale in Columbia, KY

I came in looking for a vehicle, preferrably SUV. I walked into Deskins and was greeted with several people! A young man by the name of Jared Hollins approached me and asked if I had been helped. I explained no, that i was looking to possible purchase a SUV. He quickly started gathering my information and getting all the need's and want's to the vehicle i was interested in. He finally found the perfect SUV. It had everything i needed/wanted within a resonable price range for my husband and i. He was wonderful to work with and made the car buying process a breeze for my husband and i! 10/10 recommend!

Probably the best SUV my wife and I have owned and we’ve had many different makes and models since 1992. The styling must be good because a lot of other SUV’s are copying it.

No pressure and really easy to get along with everyone on staff here. The experience was so great that I'd do the 2 hour drive over again!

I reluctantly traded in my 2013 Taurus for a Ford Edge in 2017. I considered this a downgrade in comfort and luxury. I had decided not to go with the Explorer at that time because of the lower fuel economy. When the 2020 Explorer XLT came out, it had a highway rating of 28 MPG which was the same rating I was getting from the Ford Edge. My Ford Taurus always surprised me with its excellent fuel economy. I could get 32 MPG easily on long drives. The Edge would give me 26 MPG on the highway and about 18 MPG around town. The 2020 Explorer is so much more comfortable than the Edge. The kids love sitting in their own chairs. They have plenty of space and when they start getting on each other's nerves or my wife's, they can easily split up with one of them sitting in the last row. I have managed better than 30 MPG on long trips with the Explorer. My average driving comes in at 25 MPG. I have had no mechanical problems with the Explorer what-so-ever. I now have 20,000 miles on it. I got the towing package which has really turned out to be useful. I use it to carry bikes with a hitch carrier. I have rented a U-Haul traller on several occasions instead of renting a pick-up truck. It is only $20 per day to rent a tailor. I really enjoy the Android Auto feature. The major complaint that I read on the Ford Explorer is that they claim that the shifting is not smooth or that the car is noisy. I find that the car rides very nicely and is very quiet when you are on the road. The 10-speed transmission is obviously going to be doing lots of shifting to get you up to speed. That is a lot of gears. Those gears are the reason i am getting over 30 MPG on a large 7 passenger SUV. I don't mind a bit of busy shifting in order to save fuel. I know that the KIA Telluride is very highly regarded in this category. The Telluride advertises 21 MPG overall. I am very happy to get the mileage I am getting now. I also got a pretty good discount from Ford when I bought the Explorer. I believe that the Ford Explorer is an ideal vehicle for families. Fuel Economy is unbelievable for a vehicle this size with so much power. I always put Explore in the Economy mode when I drive. I can feel the power drop when I put it in this mode. In the normal mode, I get about 26 MPG on the highway but in the Economy mode, I get 30 and better.

I took a chance and drove 2.5 hours to purchase a new truck and I am glad I did! my salesperson (Ross Schambon) was extremely helpful and gave me a great deal on my trade in. He helped me get the payment I needed and the truck I wanted, can't ask for more than that. I had such a great experience with my purchase that when I put a new bumper on I traveled there to get it done. Ross was right there to make sure it was done properly and I was treated fairly. The service dept. went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure I was satisfied. I would definitely recommend Ross and Don Franklin to everyone.

The dealership was clean and the people were friendly, we never felt the pressure to buy it was more of a how can we help you.

This is my 4th Ford Explorer over the last 20 years and I am very happy. Every time I upgrade is nicer in every aspect. I am glad that after so many people telling me to just go to another style and company, I made the right decision.

Love the inside room, 3rd row seat and the fact that the 2nd and 3rd row can be collapsed. Love the rear camera and all of the functions of being able to bring my phone apps up on the screen. So good for our very busy, on the go lifestyle

Wonderful experience, would highly recommend to anyone else looking for a new vehicle or repair/service.

I had a really great experience and drove away the same day with car I wanted. These guys really do everything they can to make the experience stress free and relaxing.

This is my 9th car purchased from Don Franklin Ford. As always, I was treated with respect and all of my questions and concerns were addressed!

It is stylish and comfortable and gets great gas mileage. I have room for anything and everything I would want to carry. Have t missed out on anything!!

I’m absolutely in love with my 2018 Ford Explorer XLT! It’s exterior appearance is eye catching and the inside is so nice. Lots of room and meets all the needs for me and my family!

So far I like the vehicle. Bought it used and have only had it a few days. Love the extra space and easy design. I’ve test driven 4 different used explorers and noticed that the paint chips easily and there always seems to be a hint of rust. That’s crazy to me for only being 4 years old. This has been an issue on each of the 4 used vehicles. I’ve owned a VW, Toyota and Kia each for more than 4 years and never experience paint chips or rust. Kind of odd.

The vehicle meets al my family needs. The vehicle was within my budget. The vehicle was well maintained. The interior was we’ll kept. Love it !
