Used Ford Explorer for sale in Watertown, WI

GRINWALD FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT is a life-saver! We were driving from Florida to Colorado to Watertown and heard a knocking in our front left wheel area. Ralph Schmidt and his service team worked us into a Friday afternoon schedule, analyzed our situation, found the parts nearby , and fixed our problem within 4 hours! The price was far less money than we anticipated! We were thankful Grinwald Ford solved this potentially deadly axle problem and got us back on the road quickly!

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 .

Jay was outstanding to work with. No pressure at all and Hayes delivered a fantastic truck in great condition for an unbelievable price. I had been searching for for a truck for a couple months and I was fortunate to find Hayes. If you know what you’re looking for and want a top notch experience with no pressure this place is worth the trip. I will definitely keep Hayes at the top of my list the next time I’m in the market for a used vehicle. Thanks Jay!

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 !

We found the car online and contacted Grinwald Ford. Test drove it, traded our older Escape and purchased the used 2020 Escape. Everyone was very polite and easy to deal with. There was no pressure and the process was painless. We drove home the same day in our new car.

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.

It has been a very good car except a couple of times I have had a very hard time turning & now there is a popping in the front when turning the wheel especially backing up. I called Ford & they told me if I live on a dirt road that year is notorius for getting dirt up in the suspension. They said they could change it out & charge me several hundred dollars & I would be right back in next year with the same problem. However I am kinda worried about this & hauling my grandchildren & others around. I asked if they had that much problem why are they not recalled with a new part that doesn't do that??

Billy was super helpful. Everyone at the dealership was friendly as well. Only took a star off because it’s apparent they like selling the service warranty, but I understand how sales work. I’ve gotten two cars here and I’m sure I’ll get more in the future!

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.

This is the second vehicle we purchased from Van Horn and Trevor, it was an outstanding experience once again. Van Horn makes it extremely easy to purchase and they stay true to their word, with everything. I really like that they are employee owned, it makes a huge difference in their approach and it shows. I can’t recommend Trevor and Van Horn enough, we will be lifetime customers.

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.

A pleasure to be served by people who were knowledgeable but also understanding. Treated us personally. Were honest about the wait time for getting our car and took as much time helping us even after they knew we were buying the car.

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.

Jack was super easy to work with and made it an easy decision to buy our new to us car. He had the paperwork all ready to go for me so I didn't have to sit for a couple of hours to complete the purchase. Much appreciated!

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.

Trevor was my original car salesman, he was off work Tuesday 3/29, but he recommended me to talk with Jack, one of his trusted associates. I appreciated him being selfless in recommending me to another sales person. Jack was a great salesman and answered all my questions. Both helped me to get the truck I wanted. I would highly recommend this dealership and especially Trevor and Jack. Great experience.

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.

It is stylish and comfortable and gets great gas mileage. I have room for anything and everything I would want to carry. Have t missed out on anything!!

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.

Kay did a great job - scheduling - complete service - and very timely. I'm totally impressed with every aspect of their service facilities. A job very well done!!

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 Staff, Clean Atmosphere, and a Spacious and Warm indoor Showroom! Logan was a great salesman and helped us find the BEST car around! Gates Auto is Awesome!!!

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 did my homework prior to our recent purchase of a low mileage used Mercedes. One of my primary information sources was Cars.Com. and the other was Car Max. We visited the Kenosha Car Max and found everyone we had contact with to be professional and informative. We ultimately bought a car from a Mercedes dealer but did sell our trade to Car Max Waukesha. The experience was handled quickly and pleasantly. I would definitely recommend Car Max and their staff.

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!

So far I like the vehicle. Bought it used and have only had it a few days. Love the extra space and easy design. I’ve test driven 4 different used explorers and noticed that the paint chips easily and there always seems to be a hint of rust. That’s crazy to me for only being 4 years old. This has been an issue on each of the 4 used vehicles. I’ve owned a VW, Toyota and Kia each for more than 4 years and never experience paint chips or rust. Kind of odd.

Welcome with open arms and very helpfulGot to drive every vehicle that I went in there to look at it and test drive very helpful at explaining the features of the car

I love my explorer ST. It has a high class feel with many up grades. No issues with it at all. Previous owner took care of it.

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.

Dylan was really great to work with! He was funny, down to earth and listened to my needs. His manager Don was also extremely nice. I really hit it off with the finance manager "Sammy"! All in all, they all treated me very well, we had lots of laughs and they made the experience a lot less stressful than I have had in the past! I was at 3 other car lots that day on my day off, so I was not dressed well, however, I couldn't seem to get the time of day from other sales people at other car lots, and when I showed up at Boucher, Dylan treated me like a human being, never asked if my "significant other" needed to help me make a decision, and listened to my needs. Those other auto dealerships missed out because I bought the most beautiful Yukon Denali that day and I love it SO MUCH!! Thanks Dylan, Don and Sammy! You guys are the best!

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

Even though not a Chevy dealership, a used Suburban for sale caught my eye. Worked with Matt who was extremely thorough. Followed through with EVERY detail. Would highly recommend working with him and Soeren’s! Greg did a great job also!

Smooth ride with many features. Love the black leather and all the extra options in the limited class. As a Ford Family the Explorer is perfect in size. Not too big and not too small.

After a not-so-great experience at a different Napleton dealer, my husband and I were incredibly grateful and relieved to be immediately greeted and treated like family as soon as we arrived on the lot. Steve was hands down the best, most patient salesman I’ve ever worked with. He was genuine, knowledgeable and did everything he could to get us into a car we loved and fit our budget. He was so generous and accommodating for our unusual schedules and even purchased a bouquet of flowers to put in our new car as a nice surprise. Financing paperwork with Chris was smooth and thorough and he answered all of our questions. An added bonus being that he was so pleasant to just converse with while doing monotonous paperwork everyone dreads. Before we left with our new car, Wade went through all the technology and settings in the vehicle so we weren’t left paging through an owners manual to figure out how to pair our cell phones and program the radio. I’ve purchased 5+ cars in my lifetime and no experience has ever come close to the incredible service we received at Lexus of Brookfield. Steve and LoB earned customers for life!
