Used Ford Explorer for sale in Ocala, FL

I was looking for a Nissan Titan and AutoMax had a 2021 with only 12,000 miles. I went to AutoMax and found it on their lot. All pictures and descriptions of the truck online matched what I saw in person. Our salesperson Maria approached us and helped us with the truck. She was very kind. She got the keys for the truck and let us look at it. We took it for a test drive and I fell in love with the truck. The truck still had the new car smell that I love and even parts of the truck wasn’t even used. Some parts still stored inside in plastic. The truck is mint! Not sure where they get their cars, but a lot of the cars on the lot looked great. Huge selection of great cars, but I had my eyes on that Titan. Maria was very easy to work with, didn’t make me feel any pressure, or uncomfortable at all. All the staff was very nice, courteous, and outgoing. Not once did a feel like I was fresh blood in a pool of sharks. You know that typical dealership feeling. I didn’t get that once with anyone at AutoMax. The process was very quick and painless. I kept waiting for some kind of catch. I didn’t try to get them to lower the price either. Their prices are very fair. Compared to carmax, carvana, and other dealers I was looking at, they had the best truck at the best price. I was selling my car on the street the next day and was using that money for a down payment. We completed all the paperwork that day and they held my truck overnight for me. Maria kept in contact with great communication the next day. I sold my old car on the street, came back to give them the down payment and pick up my truck. They filled the gas tank to full on the truck, yes even with these gas prices and a big truck, they filled it up. I was impressed. I was transferring my old plates, they took my plates and put them on the truck for me, and gave me a new registration. They gave me all my papers and the keys and we were on our way. It was really a quick and painless process. The inside building is really cool looking too. A really comfortable atmosphere. When we’re ready to trade in our other car, we will be going to AutoMax Ocala again.

I swore all of my life I would never buy a Ford. Once I brought my F150 Harley, I loved it. Which made me eager to but this Explorer for my wife and daughter. We are now a FORD FAMILY.

My experience at Honda of Ocala was terrific. Casey and his trainee Dan were very knowledgeable and not at all pushy, which I really liked. I would HIGHLY recommend either one of these gentlemen and the dealership..

It drives really smooth & easy maneuverable vehicle,JAZZ SINGH STAR AUTO HELPED ME PICK IT OUT & it drives great,I’m so pleased on my purchase I’m glad I decided on the Ford Explorer

Loved my first Honda HR-V that I leased at Honda of Ocala. Had the best salesman and knew that if/when I was ready to get another car he was my go to man. Michael Lehman knows his stuff! He knew I liked to travel by car and directed me to a car that has so many new safety features and other features that makes driving so easy with less stress on my old knees!

This is is a super good car never broke down for the 6 1/2 years that we owned it. The plastic components in our car are like falling apart (Probably because we have 3 kids who are really good at breaking stuff) but its not bad. In some SMALL areas the paint is starting to bubble but on the newer models ford has fixed this problem. We have used it for off-roading and let me tell you ITS VERY CAPABLE. Also in my opinion it looks nice.

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 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.

So far this car will meat my needs I can use it for work and pleasure and should be good in the winter and has a good safety rating

This car is way above what I expected. Has plenty of room if my grandchildren come to visit me. It came with tinted windows which saved me from having it done.

We had a very good exiperence, our salesman Arron Gray was very nice. He took his time and ensured we were able to see all the vehicles we wanted.

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 received a very good deal on our trade in and Mr. Marato went above and beyond assisting us with our purchase. I would definitely recommend him and the dealership to a friend.

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

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 .

I have purchased three vehicles from Phillips Dodge. I have worked with Jon Novak on the last two purchases. I trust Jon in making a fair and equable trade and purchase. Jon always makes the customer feel welcomed to buy a vehicle without the hassle. Jon has always been attentive to my wife and I during the buying process.

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.

The entire staff (Dylan in sales and Dennis in service) we’re knowledgeable and professional, yet immediately made me feel comfortable and “one of.the family”. Purchasing the car was a pleasurable experience, unlike many of my previous experiences. I highly commend and recommend these individuals, and the entire Sullivan team for their dedication to serving the customer’s needs.

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.

Had my Cross Sport in for service because of a radio issue. This dealership is amazing. They fixed my radio, and treated me great. I couldn't be happier.

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.

I was so glad to return to the BMW family after so many years away and Ocala BMW did not disappoint. Classy showroom, professional and helpful staff, and no pressure to purchase. It was a joy to drive away in my new 2 series! And I feel confident about returning for service. Thank you!

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.

I was looking to upgrade to an SUV and this was my first stop. I spend a few hours with Dean who was more than patient with me wanting to test drive so many cars! Just to see what else is out there I went down Hwy 19 from Homosassa to Crystal River......very stressful experience! I wound up back at Hometown and sealed a deal that made us all happy! I would highly recommend this place to anyone. They really care about your wants and needs as well as your budget! Thanks again guys!

The Ford Explorer is very roomy and are very reliable. This is my second one that I have bought and I absolutely love them. Great vehicles

I recently purchased a Pre Owned vehicle from Nick Nichols Ford and had been very pleased with my purchase. I had only been able to drive it in local traffic rarely exceeding 45 mph. I had to make a trip to Tampa and once on I-75 I was at highway speed for the first time since having the vehicle. Due to a sudden traffic situation in front of me I had to hit my brakes hard , when I did I instantly noticed a shimmy in the steering wheel. I was able to make contact with Mr. Mark Anderson , Service Dept manager, and he advised me to bring it in and ask for him directly Mr.Anderson had the vehicle front brakes checked and it was found that the front rotors were worn , he then authorized the mechanic to replace the rotors. This was done at no charge to me. This action by Mr. Anderson made me a from now on Nick Nichols loyal customer Thank you Mr. Anderson for all that you did. Rudy Salazar

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!

Salesman was very helpful and I was very satisfied and would recommend him showed me what I wanted to see and recieved a good trade in value on my trade in

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.

We had a great experience in purchasing our Ford Escape. Dee was courteous, not pushy. He answered all our questions and worked with us. We left to discuss buying, came back asked for him to make the deal on the SUV. Dee took his time explaining features of the car when I picked it up. Dee was a great salesmen and I will recommend anyone looking for a Ford to come there and ask for him. The other salesmen did not get his name offered us something to drink and went and got us coffee and soda while we waited.

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.

Recently purchased a pre-owned Ford, with the assistance of a very professional, knowledgeable and considerate sales consultant by the name of Wyatt Pepe. Although he is relatively new at Nick Nicholas Ford, he did his best to get us a good deal, and get through their paperwork process in a timely fashion. When we picked the car, it was clean, and Wyatt made it easy for us to be comfortable considering the Covid restrictions of today. We feel Wyatt Pepe is an asset to Nick Nicholas Ford, and we wish him much success in his future.

Car, Ride is very nice, plenty of room, plenty of the things we like owned a 2015 limited / purchased a 2017 limited great improvements ride and comfort. Reliable car regardless of the outside invironment Very Happy!

As always our experience in buying a car here is so pleasant! It is a family here and they give each other so much support as they do for you as you go thru the process! We have been doing business with Nick Nickolas Ford for over 20 years and we will continue!!

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.
