Used Ford Explorer for sale in Columbia, SC

I had an absolutely great experience with this dealership, especially with Jeff Buck who helped sell me my car. I had been looking all over the southeast for a relatively specific car and realized Jim Hudson had one. I drove the 2 hours from my home to test drive it and meet Jeff and he was great from the first contact we had. He was very kind and wasn't pushy, at all, and after dealing with so many other pushy salesmen from other dealerships, I cannot tell you how refreshing that was. That alone pushed this car to the top of my list. It was extremely well-priced compared to similar cars I had looked at and in better condition. Once I did decide this was the car for me, he made everything super easy...I just had to put a deposit down and he actually delivered the vehicle to my house so I didn't have to drive the 2 hours back to Columbia. That was so appreciated and solidified my decision. He made a very big decision for me much easier, and instead of all the anxiety I had been feeling about such a big purchase, I was excited and relieved to finally buy from someone I felt like I could trust. I love my car and couldn't be any happier!

Great vehicle, no problems after two years, will recommend to friends and family. Due to the shortage of workers the service department is terrible. Overall the vehicle is a 4.5 for me.

Great Experience and very clean waiting area with plenty of drinks an snacks. Charging area and pop corn station in main showroom for customer use.

I absolutely love this car! It is sporty, roomy and easy to drive. Besides those qualities, it comfortably accomodates my 6'6" husband! YAY! This is by far my favorite car ever!

Bought a used BMW, sale's person Mike was extremely helpful,. From start to finish everything went well. Definitely recommend buying a car fry this dealer.

I have heard a thump in the front end since I've had it and don't understand why this is happening 2017 Ford Exspoler XLT every time I turn my car to the left is there any recalls about this issue? William Wilson.

I was provided excellent service by Jonathan Gwynn at Midlands Honda from start to finish! I would recommend the dealership and Jonathan if you are looking for excellent service. I'm enjoying my 2023 HRV.

Best car for a long ride especially with multiple people. Quiet inside. Lovely interior and very comfortable. The power with the turbo is awesome but it does kick a little when engaging. Very nice looking vehicle. Sits up but not too high you have trouble getting into.

The service crew is very friendly and helpful. Although at times they're short staffed, they never let that stop them from giving his service, remaining friendly, helpful and try to get you in and out in a timely manner.

This car was gorgeous, royal blue. It exceeded every expectation i had as far as style and comfort are concerned. We have a big family so the third row was convenient and folded so nicely when unneeded. Sunroof and moonroof. Heated and cooled seats. Heated steering wheel. It costed entirely too much in gas and had a lot of computer glitches (in display screen not performance). Transmission acted a little funny one day so I decided to upgrade. Granted It was a 2013 not brand new, but if Ford isn’t built to last more than 8 years, I’m moving on.

I have purchased several vehicles from this dealership. Their attention to detail is superb. They keep a varied inventory offering just about anything one might want, but have even looked for vehicles for me that were specific to my needs! The process has never been easier than here to complete the purchase...no running around, no multiple phone calls, no stress environment, etc. I put "Good" for the facilities only because I know they recently moved into the fabulous location and they're working on personalizing it. I love to know that this is also where they can perform complete service to my vehicles. I have never had an issue that they can't quickly and reasonably resolve! Thanks Jon, Sonny, and Keegan!

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.

I bought a 2004 lifted Tahoe from them and I loved it never had any issues with it. And now I just recently went back and bought a 2008 lifted tundra, everyone up there is a great group of people they are so friendly and are only there to make other people happy with what they want, I would highly recommend anyone buy from them. And I defiantly will be back to purchase more in the future

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.

Unbelievable experience in purchasing a Grand Wagoneer, their customer service is the best around, went way beyond expectations! Superior professionalism, if you are looking for a mopar vehicle, need to contact them!

We’re sold on always purchasing the Ford Explorer XLT. This is our third Explorer. Satisfied with the most recent latest purchase. We’re having fun learning it’s features.

My Sales Associate, Kenyatta Robertson, was very personable and very patient and made the process so easy and stress free! I always dread the car buying experience, but Kenyatta Robinson made my time at Lugoff Ford very comfortable! All of the staff were super nice and I will recommend Lugoff Ford to everyone!

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

Great work by the whole sales team to get the truck I wanted at the right price. Well satisfied with the results and the vehicle I purchased.

I have owned 7 Ford cars a pickups and wouldn’t own any other brand. I have bought 5 from this dealership and they have been great.

Joe Needham was wonderful, very nice and helped us find the right vehicle for our needs and budget. We were very pleased with our experience with him.

Bought the Explorer about 18 months ago. So far we have put 20,000 miles on it. No problems at all. The 2.3 eco boost engine is plenty powerful and the gas mileage is exceptional. We usually get between 26 and 28 mpg. Love the factory tow package, the heated seats, the heated steering wheel (you don’t know what you are missing if you have never had it), & the Apple car play is great for navigation using our IPhones .

Just bought my second F150 from there and service is second to none. I bought my truck from John and would highly recommend him to anyone. Financing team done great getting me where I want to be.

This is my 3rd Explorer. Very reliable, handles great, in all weather, roomy, even when packed for vacation or taking our german shepherds for a ride.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Will definitely recommend this dealer to all my friends and family. Lot was very clean and showroom is very comfortable.

i have purchased cars from Fairmont Ford and Gregg Smitherman. I am pleased with the service and knowledge. I like the fact that when we go into the dealership they know who we are and are always willing to help.

We bought a new 2021 Ford Escape from Jim Hudson Ford this morning. Salesman George Lutz was able to find us the perfect new car; Floor Manager Ronnie Tyler worked with us to make it affordable; and Business Manager Tony Dooley worked wonders with the financing and warranties. The entire team did everything they could to ensure a positive experience. We strongly recommend this dealership because of their willingness to listen to us and do their best to meet/exceed our expectations.

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!

We bought our F-150 at Jim Hudson and have had all the services done there. We have been very happy with the service department. Our last service involved the check engine light. After diagnosing the problem and making the repair my husband was told it was not covered under our extended warranty so he paid the bill and left. I called the dealership and spoke with Nick who was attentive and helpful. He told me he would check into the problem and call me back. He was a man of him word. He went over and above in his effort to make sure we were satisfied. We are very pleased with Jim Hudson and they will continue to receive our business. If you have a problem call them. They are willing to listen and try to help.

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.

Jim Agard made the truck buying process easy and fun! I will be a customer for LIFE! I am so thankful for all the hard work put into my purchase!

purchased a 2019 ford edge from kurt matthews he made my wife and I very comfortable thru the hole process. i would highly recommend jim hudson ford and kurt matthews for your next vehicle TONI

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.

We had a very positive experience. Helpful, no pressure approach that was appreciated. Also no pressure to buy on the first trip, and we called back when we were ready to buy.
