Used Ford Explorer for sale near Sweetwater, TX

I had taken a car in to have a horn repaired. I was charged $600.00 to replace a clock spring and when I left the horn worked for about a day and then stopped. I was also told the clock spring should repair the gauges that did not work. The gauges still did not work. I took the car back in and was charged another $100.00 and told that I had a bad plunger. I paid it but was not happy and then about a week later I got a call from Charlie Folger at Stanley Ford and was told that they would reimburse the $100.00 I'd paid for the 2nd visit and was asked if I would allow them to repair my gauges for free. Wow! That went a long ways to make me feel better. I have bought my last 3 vehicles from Stanley Ford and have always been pleased and was so disappointed when I was out $700.00. In hind sight I probably did not understand the whole process, but this company went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. That's service! Thank you Mr. Folger's! My faith in Stanley Ford has been restored.

I upgraded from a 2017 Explorer Sport to a 2025 Explorer ST. It handles better. It sounds better. It is faster. The interior is way better. The seats hug you. The infotainment system is fast and works really well.

I have been dealing with my deceased father, Patrick Beall's, car. It broke down not to long after he passed. He left me the car and I had 2 mechanics work on it and it was a nightmare. By the time I had it towed to Stanley Ford house in Sweetwater, TX it was really messed up. Upon arrival I talked with Troy Schroedter in service and told him what all was done to the car and boy was he in for it I mean every turn he took he found something else that was not right but he stuck with me and got the car running again. The tech, Dustin Hammit, who was working on it never gave up either. Between the two of them they finally got my daddy's car working again. I had told Troy when I brought my daddys car to him that I wasn't wealthy and I was concerned about how much this was gonna cost and he just kept reassuring me that everything will be fine. That lovely man only charged me for the parts and I was so blessed he is truly a gift from God I will always bring my car to Stanley as long as Troy is working there. Your Loyal Customer, LIZ

I purchased the 2022 Timberline preowned about 1 month ago with appx 50k miles on it. I was disappointed that it does not have memory seats or a garage door remote button. (I didn't even notice this when test driving it). Who makes a car today with all the tech this car has and leaves off these 2 things! The interior is comfortable & well laid out. The ride is smooth & quiet. 2.3L turbo 4 cylinder is quiet & has amazing power. At idle it’s hard to tell that the engine is even running. The prior owner put on Michelin tires which contribute to the smooth, quiet ride. The seats are ActiveX (Ford’s name for vinyl) with cloth inserts. I’m 5’ 10” and 175lbs. My son who rode with me is 6’ 3” and 250lbs. Both of us found the seats comfortable & supportive on our 1st road trip. I’ve driven a Kia Telluride, which is a direct competitor. The Kia has a little more tech but I found the ride to be on the harsh side, especially in the second row. This may be attributable to the low profile 21” tires. The Timberline has 18” balloon tires which I much prefer. 2 weeks after purchasing it I made a 2,200-mile road trip from Dallas TX to Orgon. Fuel mileage ranged from 21 to 28 with an overall average of 24 mpg. *if I don’t drive over 70 mph on the highway the fuel economy goes up to about 32! *these numbers are from the actual miles & gallons of fuel used, not from the dash numbers, which I found are a little optimistic. It has a few bugs that I’ll have to deal with, but it’s a used Ford & not a Lexus. Overall, I'd say I'm very happy with this car & would recommend it.
