Used Ford Explorer for sale in Columbus, GA

Michael was very nice, polite and also very knowledgeable. He was the best salesperson that I have dealt with in Columbus. This means a lot to us senior citizens.

I like it. It does well. The front seats aren't very comfortable. The gas mileage is a little weak. The V6 isn't really enough for this size vehicle. Lots of interior room.

I thought a little longer than expected but realized they were also servicing the car for other reasons

I have been a Ford driver for very many years and have owned Mustang GTs to F-250s.I love the styling, drive, comfort and power. I'm most impressed with the comfort when towing my boat. We live half the year in Coastal North Carolina and half is SW Florida, so our boat commutes between the two. Switching from an F-150 to the Explorer I was concerned, but the Explorer handled the job without any problem.

Derrick was very helpful & I would highly recommend him. He was always responsive to all my inquiries. He really helped throughout the buying process at Rivertown.

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 .

Awesome ride. Plenty of legroom. Best SUV I have ever had. The captains seats in the middle row make accessing the rear seats easy. Seats are very comfortable

Service appointment was scheduled by Robbie Andujar - RivertownFord . Service Dept. was ready as scheduled to work on my truck. I couldn't believe it when I received a message the next day that my service was complete and my truck was ready for pickup.

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.

Awesome, special thank you to my sellers Michelle V. and Walter the financial guy, I recommend this place to anyone who need a vehicle today

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 !

Let me start by saying this is the first time I’ve bought a vehicle in a long time that I wasn’t asked or coerced into writing a review on every (or any) social media platform. Perhaps that’s why I felt encouraged to write this one. In a time where dealers are asking msrp or in some cases, over msrp Rivertown really blew me away. Other dealers only offered me a $500 rebate. Even “National volume leader” dealers couldn’t beat the Rivertown deal. Negotiations weren’t drawn out and didn’t take all day. My salesman, Mr Raymond is by far the best salesman I’ve ever had. He truly works for the client, not the dealer. If you want something he presents it for approval and doesn’t try to talk you out of it. Once a deal was made, Mr. Strickland in finance had me out in minutes. Asked if I wanted any of the obligatory add ons, and once I declined, it was on to the next thing. He didn’t spend hours trying to sell me anything more. I actually truly enjoyed this buying experience.

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.

Just had my serviced. They are very efficient and knowledgeable, I will continue to have them service my car. And will always use them for future reference for buying and purchasing automobiles

The car meets all my family needs. We were looking for something bigger and reliable to take on trips. We are happy we our purchase. We our enjoying our new vehicle.

Conner was friendly and professional. Never pressured me to buy. Would buy another car from him. Steve in finance was also friendly and professional. But he is an Alabama fan so you would expect that from him.

This vehicle is everything iv wanted and MORE! I showed up to the dealership with a price range I wanted to stick by & wanted the ability to get a vehicle that had a 4X4 button to drive through the weather in the winter. I was not only able to get these two things from my purchase but also came with lots of extra bells and whistles

Chris was amazing! He didn?t pressure us during our time of searching / contemplating vehicles. He made the whole process flow without making us feel anxious about purchasing a vehicle.

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.

Very pleased with the buying experience. Was able to work most of the deal over the phone. Went to the dealership the next day, a hour and a half later we were done and driving off in a New 2021 Hyundai Palisade.

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 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.

Today's visit was excellent! On Time, Timely and Professional, I look forward to my next visit. I appreciate the car wash and the bottled water. Thank you Zack and Tiffany!

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.

I absolutely love this vehicle it is very comfortable alot of leg room just wish ford would include weather tech floor mats in all the vehicles

Fantastic customer service, everyone was very courteous and personable! Marisia and Samantha did a wonderful job of making my new truck purchase easy and quick.
