Used Ford Explorer for Sale in Lakeland, FL

I only take my 2016 Camaro 2ss (43k miles) to Stingray Chevrolet for 2 reason Customer service and Professional workmanship when needed. I can???t say enough about Joe Platt my service advisor- he treat me like a family member and not just a customer needing service. I have a Chevrolet dealership near me in Wesley Chapel, and I drive the extra miles for quality service at Stingray!

Great vehicle, very comfortable to ride in, great visibility, makes driving a pleasure again. Safety features are great without the clutter and distractions on other new vehicles. Features are very intuitive to use. One feature that it came with is the front camera, I didn't think it was necessary, but after trying it out, it really is handy to see what you can't see over the hood of the vehicle.

Very good service day! Had an appointment at 9am and was finished by 9:50am. All work wad done in an excellent fashion. Thanks for taking care of me and my wife. Needed to be a quick work day because my wife is not well. You exceeded my expectations.

Handles great. Plenty of power. Roomy. Good interior design. Lots of extras. Economical. Laying down the back seats gives you plenty of room or stand them up to haul a couple more people.

I left an unfavorable review below because I did not receive good customer service when we purchased the car. The store manager called me personally to apologize and will address with his team. He also sent me the operators manual for the car that we purchased since the salesman that sold me that car told me that the car is purchased as is without it. The store manager made it right and I appreciate him for it. Thanks.

Meets all of my needs. Excellent room and features. Also, feel like I’m driving in a very safe and sturdy car. Pickup is awesome V6 engine 3.5 liters EccoBoost. Love this car!

Great experience purchasing a car. No hassle. Staff was friendly and attentive. They let me do my thing but checked on me often. Was there on a Saturday - weekends are busy for them. Left with a great deal on a car!! Will definitely be back! My best advice.. use their site and pre-check your financing. It will save you time. Great company!

I recommend Explorer those looking for comfort and spacious car interior. Everything is well designed and looks luxurious all over. I purchased this two months ago and might be a little soon to review its performance but so far I am happy with what I got. I just don't recommend the dealership where I bought from : " Ford of Orange, CA" stay away from them.

Very pleasant experience at EVO Motors. Cars are super cheap all the guys are friendly expect to pay $2,000 to $5,000 below any other place but you dont get to negotiate or ask for any free things which was ok to me. Financing was easy as well and we got offered almost the same interest as my bank offered and financed thru them with a large national lender their extended warranty option is also great . The only complaint is some of the cars need to be cleaned or not detailed very well but I did ask them to clean somethings they missed and they did.

This vehicle has everything we wanted. There is plenty of storage room and holds 7 people comfortably. There are usb plugs in front and back. Great ride, quite and smooth.

They staff was great, Everyone one was super friendly and they make sure you are happy with your purchase.And they also recommended my wife and I a great place to eat,While they service my car since i drove from another state just to buy a car from them.

This car met all of our family needs. We have enjoyed it. It was comfortable for transporting adults in all of the seats as well as children. The TV made the entertainment on long trips seem short and more enjoyable.

We all know car buying is nerve wracking and I went in feeling no different. Stressed and apprehensive about what I was sure to deal with. But I went in with a friend just after they opened on a tuesday and was greeted quickly by Jay. He inquired about what I was there for. Perhaps I made it easy on them, or easier than most, as I was very prepared and had researched for a long time before coming in. But I gave him the car I was looking for and he took me right to it. He also explained how they worked there. They don't pressure or hover but are there when I was ready with questions or to test drive. When that first car turned out to be an unsure for me, I asked to look at a few others I had saved online. Those 2 were sold but they took me inside to look at their inventory and I wrote down 3 more. They sent guys out to round them up and bring them up front for me. I looked them over, test drove. I asked questions about hidden fees and Jay responded immediately without trying to run around it. I found one that I wanted, a 2014 Altima that was priced to sell. I came in preapproved and just had to fill out the quick credit app on their computer then they sent it in, about 10 min later it came back and I called the insurance while he finalized. He was wonderful, knowledgeable and efficient. When I came back thr paper work was ready and he explained everything, the breakdown with all the amounts were on their own page, the amounts were exactly as I expected for tags, tax, title, no hidden fees, there was and small and fair dealer fee especially compared to most places in FL but no additional fees. It was incredibly straight forward. I signed, paid and when I was ready to go, the car was washed and waiting for me out front. It was a great experience and I would recommend this place to anyone. They are fair, honest and no bull. I would like to give a little shout out to Javier who really went out of his way for me and was incredibly kind and helpful. My friend who was with me was so impressed when she is ready to replace her recently totalled car, she will be shopping here. Thank you all so much for making what is usually a dreaded way to spend a day, into something I enjoyed.

This vehicle has everything that I need, tow package, four wheel drive and is very stylish and comfortable inside. The third row seating is surprisingly roomy and I love the stowable seats.

We recently traded in two vehicles and leased a new one from Jim Browne Pasco Chevrolet in Dade City, Fl. Our purchasing experience couldn't have been better. At every step of the way, the people we dealt with were knowledgeable and extremely professional. Particularly impressive was the support the entire dealership team gave each other to make sure that our experience was good. Our salesman, finance person, service manager and general manager all deserve credit for making our purchase enjoyable. We will highly recommend this establishment and their staff and we will be back for our next auto purchase.

It is the best car I've used so fat. That why I crown it the, It's best car at it own best. I love it fuel economy.

just purchased a 2017 Jetta SE from Brandon VW and was very pleased with the whole experience. First of all I drove from Sarasota to purchase the car and I felt I might be gambling on whether the dealer was just giving me a "come on price". The numbers and the car were exactly what they said and the people from sales dept. to credit dept. I dealt with were professional and not "pushy" whatsoever. I also want to mention I saved almost $850.00 by driving to Brandon VW plus another $500.00 by using VW credit (we had planned on paying cash). This incentive was brought up by the credit mgr. which was greatly appreciated. I am grateful to M.J. - David T. - Jeff and Reggie too! Thanks again Bill W. Sarasota

Has everything you could ever want in a car. We have a 2016 Ford Explorer limited. Seems to have every option ever invented ! Even has massaging seats.

Rivard GMC used to service our Yukon XL and the service and professionalism was always top notch. It was this experience and familiarity that led us back to them when we were looking for a mid-size truck. After visiting another GMC dealer where they made little attempt to try and meet our requirement, we went to Rivard. We originally went there to look at a slightly used truck and test drove it but the price was not much less than a new one. Mr Anthony Edwards was very patient and very professional as he showed us their used inventory and newer options. He was very pleasant and forward with valuable information and not pushy with probing questions. He listened to our questions, answered them and offered options. He showed us several new models and broke down the numbers and all were on par or better with another dealer's offer. But his willingness and patience to assist us was the exceptional factor in accepting a very good offer on a new model and gave us a couple of days to ponder. Afterwards we went to a nearby Chevy dealer where we looked at their counterpart model. We told the sales rep we also looked at the GMC version and he concurred the GMC models were a little higher quality than the Chevy version. When we decided on a comparable model and attempted to negotiate a price, the Chevy offer was at least $500 more on supposedly/admittedly a lesser quality than a GMC. They asked what would it take for us to accept their more expensive offer and we reiterated that they have to give us an incentive in lower price to bring us over from the GMC offer. They were not willing to do so and we accepted Mr Edwards offer at Rivard GMC. Mr Anthony Edwards without a doubt has been the most pleasant auto sales rep we have ever dealt. After dealing with other dealers, we felt very confident we received a very good deal from Rivard GMC and Mr Anthony Edwards was the key!

perfect car for my purposes, traveling, camping etc. I look forward to many fun trips and adventures, I need 25 words but for now I think this is about it.

I am so very great full for your service team James Rivard. Carlos is very professional and respectful and I feel very secure knowing that my car received all the services I took it in for. After three cars with James Rivard I must say that it makes me truly happy to see all the familiar faces each times I schedule for service. Consistency and a family environment will make you feel safe. Thank you Carlos with James Rivard for so many years of excellent service. Awesome!!!! Marcia.

This car looks 'classy', has lots of 'bells and whistles', lots of horsepower, very 'cushy' inside. Sadly, had to say good bye to our Jeep Sahara; she was not well. We'll miss her looks, but we'll enjoy the smooth ride, and cush of our Explorer.

I drive completely out of my way to bring my vehicle to James Rivard. The service department is exceptional! I am always pleased with the speed of repair and communication regarding what is needed. From the Service Manager down, the employees are knowledgeable and friendly. It is always a pleasure.

This car met my needs. It is spacious for my 3 kids and their friends, with plenty of room on the third row sit. The remote key and keyless start is very useful, specially summer time, when you can leave the car locked but running, so the AC is still cooling.

We purchased our new 2017 Explorer Limited on 12/30/2017 during Brandon Ford's Year-End Sales Event. We had never seen a dealership so busy! After test driving 3 Explorers (2 pre-owned & 1 new), we made a decision to purchase new. Charles was very patient with our long, decision-making process and was able to answer all our questions. The finance stage of our purchase was just as enjoyable and Matt explained all of our options in great detail. Since our purchase day, we have been enjoying our new 2017 Explorer Limited and looking forward to many future trips. Thank you, Brandon Ford! We will be back!!!! Patti & Mike

engine slips at 55-60 and when it takes off.I have had this car over a year and am so tired of the skipping.Ford motor said to just drive it til they get a code to fix it..I think when you pay this much for a car and it's new it should run like one...not a very happy customer.My family has always been a ford family..

We now know why these guys are the #1 Ford Certified Dealer in the Nation. We were shopping for a Certified Ford C-Max (the plug in hybrid) last May and checked out several dealers in the Tampa Bay area. While many stores offered us great service and good pricing, the deal that we got at Brandon Ford was almost a thousand dollars less than the best deal we found anywhere else. On top of that, we had a completed deal for our trade in at another store that would buy ours for cash, and Brandon Ford offered us even more money to make it possible to do the whole deal there with them. What a TIME SAVER that was!!! JC Clements was our salesperson, and he stayed on top of everything and was very communicative about each step along the way. The vehicle was cleaned up and ready for us when we arrived to take delivery and all of the paperwork was printed out and waiting for us. Our finance manager, Barrie Moss, made the final step of the process quick and painless. He even saved us money over our own bank on the financing and found a way to extend the Ford Certified warranty for 8 years at a super affordable rate, because of the low mileage that my wife and daughter drive. We had a few electrical issues with the vehicle after we took delivery and that is where these guys really shined. They made that part as painless as possible and put us in a FREE rental while the work was completed... They even replaced the defective plug in charger at no additional charge, which saved us over $300. So glad we bought from the folks at Brandon Ford... They sure did us right!

I wasn't looking for this one but it stood out and I had to test drive it. My Wife feel in love with it before we got out of the lot.

My husband's worse nightmare is buying a car, However we had the pleasure of buying a 2018 Ford Explorer from Brandon Ford on September 8 and it was a pleasure. My husband went on line and this dealership had the type of car we were looking for. We had read to call a dealership before we travel there to ensure they actually have the car. Bob spoke with Russ Anderson, our salesperson, and he assured us the cars were actually there. After driving 2 1/2 hours we arrived at a huge lot of spotless cars. Russ Anderson was knowledgeable, helpful and personable in showing us the vehicles we were interested in. Their online prices and descriptions were real. He patiently explained all of the features including the Ford SYNC which was very helpful. We then went inside to see if we could make the deal with our trade in vehicle. The showroom and was clean and even the bathroom was nice.There was coffee, water and snacks available. After minimal discussion we struck the right deal, receiving a fair price for our tradin. The financial person was also great. She was efficient and friendly. In fact, I noticed that the employees working there, including the front desk area, actually seemed to be having a good day! It was just a nice atmosphere. I will return to this dealership in the future when I'm ready for my next car Highly recommend! Bob and Marylou Belote

The fifth generation Explorer is a fantastic offering in its class. The Explorer Platinum offers features that compete with luxury brands (first row heated/cooled/massage seats, lane keep, adaptive cruise), and in 52,000 miles I haven't had an issue so far. The 4WD system handles great in the snow, and the 3.5L twin turbo V6 offers plenty of power. The second row captain's chairs can be moved forward to offer third row occupants livable legroom, and there's still plenty of cargo space behind that. It handles well, tows well and is all around the best vehicle I've owned. I would recommend this SUV over any other in its class.

In our lifetimes, we have worked with 14 car dealerships to purchase vehicles. I am pleased to say Brandon Ford was THE BEST dealership to work with hands down. We drove nearly five hours to purchase our new 2017 Ford Mustang GT Premium (our sixth Ford vehicle). Initially I thought there is no way a dealership could be as fabulous as the reviews indicated. However, the entire process from the initial call to arriving the next day was seamless, professional and very warm. Our salesman, Jim Gordon, and the sales manager Bob Mulroy, lived up to the glowing reviews and then some. They were honest, transparent, worked hard for our deal, and have an incredible inventory of Ford vehicles on site. We received a significant discount as they are a high volume dealer with down home service. Any vehicle color or trim level you want to see is certainly on their lot. This makes for a cool vehicle buying experience! There was no pressure, there was simply pride in exceptionally crafted American vehicles. They believe in their products and their work proves their commitment. We left grateful, proud of our new vehicle, and a long-time friend of Brandon Ford's. Since leaving, we have received a call as well as email following up on our experience and ensuring all our needs were met. This is rare customer service that extended beyond a business. The truly care about their products, their customers, and every transaction that they make. Well done, team. I am proud to have purchased an American made product from an outstanding team of professionals.

This car met all our requirements and we are very happy with our purchase. We are return customers and feel very comfortable working with Doug Lawrence and David Bruton. They made shopping easy and no stress.

I bought a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited from Chris Chong back in Jan 2014. I loved this Jeep but I kept having warranty issues with it - no fault of the dealership. I was at wits end around December 2015 when I started chatting with Fabio Reyes and he was amazed how patient I was. He asked me point blank what vehicle I wanted if I got rid of my Jeep and I stated that I only wanted another Grand Cherokee because it WAS a fantastic vehicle except for some electronic glitches. He and Chris told me that they could get me into a 2015 Grand Cherokee (with whatever new features I wanted) and that their price would make it to difficult for me to say no. I told them that I really didn't want to buy another vehicle so they said just humor us and tell me what you want. At first I wanted the Summit but then wanted the Overland High Altitude package and they showed me what they would give me for my jeep and what my final price would be out the door and I could not say no. I truly believe there is no way that I could get a better deal on this or any other vehicle anywhere in the US period. So I bought the 2015 Grand Cherokee and ended up paying less than I did for my 2014 with more features and options. Fabio and Chris were and are truly exceptional and epitomize what customer service is and should be. I am grateful to there dedication in ensuring that I remain a loyal jeep customer. Thank you Fabio, Chris and everyone at Courtesy Chrysler Jeep Dodge for everything. My buying experience (x2) was truly enjoyable and will promote this dealship to everyone I know.

This exployer is the nicest one that I have had by far. Very nice driving vehicle. Love the cooling and heated seats. Love heated steering wheel.

Robert Bauman Helped me out with the 2016 F150 I just bought last week. I was having issues with the backup sensors not working. He helped me get my truck in at my convenience and even offered to put me in a loaner if needed. Found the issue with a harness and took care of it. He is also helping me with all the questions I have. Great and speedy service.

Love the new color and all the new perks. The Explorer is so smooth on the road . It handles like a luxury car. What a SUV.

My wife and I test drove a new car (and spent 2 hours dealing with) another dealership. Unfortunately the other unnamed dealer could not meet us at a reasonable interest rate or out the door price considering our excellent credit scores. We thanked them and decided we would visit other dealers on the following day. Luckily I used ???Truecar??? to find another dealership. Courtesy Kia called me immediately because they knew I was interested in a Kia Rio. I told them the exact deal I walked away from (at the previous unnamed dealership, and while I was not lying I appreciated that they understood I was straightforward without a ???paper quote??? from the other dealership) and then told them the exact deal I would be happy to close with them. They said they would call me back. Within 20 minuets I received a call from Courtesy Kia (specifically Armando) stating that they would accept my exact terms for the exact car I wanted (my terms were reasonable to be fair) and that if I came in the next day this would be the deal I could ???Sign on the dotted line.??? True to form, I arrived the next day with my wife ready to enter another negotiation to keep the deal we agreed upon over the phone. Much to my amazement, and happiness, the deal had not changed by a penny. The deal I made over the phone (the exact deal I wanted) was immediately honored, I signed some paperwork and was out the door with the exact car I intended to purchase at another dealer, but for thousands less by going to Courtesy Kia (Including Courtesy Kia being able to get me financed at 0.0%apr with our credit scores). In a few years I will be in the market to replace our other car. Courtesy Kia will be my immediate choice. I have a feeling that if I need to negotiate with them for my future car (hopefully the Stinger) they will be fair considering how fair they were when I honestly offered no negotiation on my end this time around.

The car met all our needs but one, towing. Decent and as advertised but not great with rolling hills or the mountains of Tennessee. Advertised limit is really the limit.

Had a wonderful experience at Victory Auto Mall. Everyone was pleasant and the process was smooth. They did a spectacular job working with me and my needs. Thank you Tom & Tank! I am happy with my awesome new vehicle & deal. And thanks for filling up my gas tank!! 👌👌

this suv has met all my needs. it is very comfortable rides great and has plenty of power.the inside door handle could have been placed in a better spot but that is my only gripe.
