Used Ford Explorer for sale in Watsonville, CA

I was searching for an Ecosport on Cars.com and found an awesome deal at Watsonville Ford. I live 400 miles away, so I was wary of bait and switch which some dealers practice. But, we negotiated a deal and arranged financing online, I flew into san Jose (about 50 minutes away), they had a nice young man pick me up, I test drove the vehicle I was buying to the dealership. The paperwork was waiting for me, I was in and out of the dealership in less than an hour. No games were played, the process could not have been easier. I would feel very comfortable buying from them again.

I currently own a 2020 Ford Explorer XLT (used, bought with 50k miles). Before this I used to own a 2015 BMW X3 Xdrive28i. Now people reading this would be astounded to hear such a bad review for a german luxury vehicle. IT. WAS. TRASH. Sorry, BMW fanboys, but that is true. Anyways, coming back to the Explorer, it was a lot, lot better. Better mileage, Better comfort, A ton of space to even pack up to 5 large suitcases and five big boxes with only the third row down. Considerable performance and power for a massive three row SUV, compared to a “apocalypse ready, tough and rugged” Jeep Wrangler. Very sturdy car, fun to drive around. And really handy when you’re like me who decided to hit the road from Miami, FL to Cypress, TX (😁). I was worried whether evreything would fit in, but apparently there was way more space than that! Also if you are a parent with an infant, you will have NO problem fitting in a child seat. Another thing is that I use an iPhone and my wife uses a Samsung. It is compatible with both carplay and android auto. Now the best part: this is the most stylish SUV under $30k I have ever seen except for a Jeep Grand Cherowkee. My final verdict: The best, affordable, 6-7 seater SUV you can get on the auto market. And I am saying this not only from a driver-standpoint, but a parent as well. I have read other people’s reviews, and some will disagree with me. But after all, it is an automobile. Whether it be a million dollar Rolls-Royce or a Bugatti or a Ford, it is still developing. I am proud of what Ford can do. I highly recommend to those who are looking for a reliable and safe car, buy a Ford. They are incredible.

I was very pleased with the Internet Sales person I worked with. He was very knowledgeable and very easy to work with. The dealer was asking a little much at first for the vehicle but I was able to work out a deal and I am very pleased with the quality of the car. I would strongly recommend.

Just bought one used and I LOVE this car! Traded in my GMC Terrain and this is much much much better! Wanted one for years and glad I finally got one. Very stylish and comfortable to drive!

Love this car overall but I have only one complaint. I was putting some boxes in the rear of the car and one of the boxes must have touched the the rear seat folding mechanism as all of a sudden it tried to unfold the seats. If my grandchildren had been sitting there strapped in I hate to think what may have happened!! Wish you had coverage over the mechanism so this wouldn’t happen.

Wayne and Billy and the whole service crew have taken great care of my vehicles and kept me up to date as services are performed.

I have owned Toyota and Honda vehicles for years. I love the space and comfort of my Ford Explorer. However I'm at 68k miles and just had to have my transmission rebuilt. If I didn't love the comfort and ride of this vehicle so much, I would trade it in tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed and praying this vehicle will hold out to 200k miles.

I have had several Explorers all have been great vehicles. My newest is only a couple years old. I also still have a great running 26 year old with almost 200k miles. Never had a big or expensive problem with either. I can say the same for the BMWs, Mercedes and Infinity’s I have owned…Once these expensive vehicles warranty expired everything but their engine seemed to fall apart. My Fords are reliable and never break down (knock on wood) Not flashy like the imports but solid.

Loved this place. Dealership seems very alive and salespeople are friendly and knowledgeable without being pushy. Buying took a bit longer than I thought but still a good experience.

First time Explorer owner, had an Expedition that I loved but it was too high for my wife, so it went to our son. The Explorer Limited is lower, but still higher than a crossover or sedan which helps my visability. Love the electronics but concerned that they will have problems later on so I purchased a dealer extended warranty (bumper to bumper) that is 10 years 125,000 additional miles for piece of mind. Car drives like a dream, is VERY comfortable, has more than enough power even with the 4cyl (used to V8's). Gas mileage even with 4WD is great (23 city and almost 29 highway) not climbing hills. We will see how it does when we go north.

The Ford Store provides an amazing selection of vehicles to choose from. Their pricing is unbeatable and the staff is fully knowledgeable and courteous!

Great vehicle, no problems after two years, will recommend to friends and family. Due to the shortage of workers the service department is terrible. Overall the vehicle is a 4.5 for me.

Good people. Great experience buying a Certified Used Honda! George, the Internet Sale Manager was a busy guy but he was super responsive when I sent me inquiry online . Upon arrival, made sure he greeted me and had us taken care of by a knowledgable sales associate. He checked in with us during the sales process and made sure to touch base with me before I departed. Gabriel was our Sales Associate and he was knowledgable, friendly and helpful. He coordinated our test drive based on my concerns on how the car felt in certain conditions and was patient with me and my wife as we tried things out then discussed everything. He answered all the questions he could, found the answers he didnt know outright and addressed all out concerns. (He also had a good sense of humor!) Oscar was our Finance Manager who was personable, friendly and extremely effective in answering any questions about the process AND getting everything done in a timely manner. This was not the fastest process I've gone through but it was the most comfortable for both myself and my wife. Nice people, nice dealership space, and oh, also met Charlie the GM who also was quite friendly and helpful i helping us find a piece of info on the car that we had forgotten to ask about. All in all, a fantastic experience, and all this on a weekend where they were quite busy! But we never felt ignored nor disrespected and time actually flew by. Highly recommend these staff members though from what I could see it seems the place is full of friendly helpful staff, the way any Honda dealer should be!

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.

Sales rep was very friendly and professional. Found the car I wanted and worked out a price that was the best out of multiple dealerships I shopped at.

Best car for a long ride especially with multiple people. Quiet inside. Lovely interior and very comfortable. The power with the turbo is awesome but it does kick a little when engaging. Very nice looking vehicle. Sits up but not too high you have trouble getting into.

The car was serviced and ready by the time that was given when the car was brought in. A credit was given for the coupon I forgot to bring in with me. All service items on the check out bill were thoroughly explained. I really appreciated having the car washed as part of the service!

I love this vehicle. My 2022 Ford Explorer XLT far exceeds my expectations. Handling is great. Performance is far better than expected. Gas mileage is 26mpg combined average for the 16,500 miles I have on the vehicle so far. The interior fit and finish could be better and the original tires...not holding up very well. The vehicle is comfortable and always a pleasure to drive. I always get compliments on the exterior style. In my opinion, it's one of the better looking SUV's on the road. The rear biased drive train give it superior handling, better than anything I test drove. Chevy, Subaru, or the Kia.

I like the same server Roger he makes sure all gets done on my service. Plus he lets me know if something needs to be done. Great

I am happy with everything about my explorer. Get good gas mileage and is very comfortable ride. Traded my 2020 for this 2022. Love the color and have gotten lots of compliments.

I was treated like an individual and not just another car buyer, Mike was great he really was trying to get me the car I wanted and within my budget.

Have only had vehicle for 3 weeks but really like it. I’ve had F150’s for the past 12 years and thought I’d miss my truck, but I’m really enjoying this explorer. It’s more comfortable and fun to drive and the gas mileage is better.

Negotiations were straight forward, car is in amazing condition, and the whole team at BMW Monterey worked together to deliver with a quick turn-around on my timeline. Very pleased!

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 !

Walked in & immediately felt welcome by Mr. Tony Humphrey. He made my shopping & purchasing of my Ford fast & easy, a great salesman with great customer service. Would definitely recommend anyone to deal with him & him only!

My review on the 2021 Ford Explorer XLT model is that this is the SUV I ever owned also is my first SUV but to say that things I really like you said 360 Copilot cruise control it stops for you automatically slows down for you automatically drives for you automatically what more can you ask for it's got comfortable seats my seats are heated my steering wheel is heated I've got a moonroof that's beautiful when you open it and it's huge it's double moon also 300 horsepower keeps up with the Mustangs and the Chargers and the faster vehicles that are out there on the streets but it's also a family vehicle so I don't like to get on it too much but it will go over a hundred miles per hour easily overall I give this a 9 out of 10 and the only reason why I don't give it a 10 it's because it gives a stupid beeping noise if you walk out of the car with the keys in your pocket and it's running and it's done that to me many a times

Tony Humphrey the internet manager made my experience buying my new fusion amazing. He took the time to explain everything and make sure I understand all the bells and whistles that went along with my car. Great salesman, would definitely buy from him again.

Looked at many different vehicles, very happy with 2022 Ford Explorer. The Explorer vehicle is very roomy with all the comforts of a luxury vehicle.

This place is amazing! They have so many cars to choose from. Plus they have an exotics lane which is really cool, they have everything from a Benz to a Porsche! The whole buying process is very quick, I bought my car in two hours and drove home. In comparison to the Mercedes of Stevens Creek, which literally took me 8 hours to buy after I picked out my car. The only knock is the service department, which doesn’t do paint repair for scratches, even though they told me that the scratches on my car would be fixed, they only used touch up paint, which looks like I did it myself and not professionally done like I wanted. But it was a used car, so no big deal. Overall I highly recommend!

Best Ford, other than a pickup, I've ever owned. Minor issues and recalls. All fixed or checked expertly here in Woodbridge VA. Only 80,000 miles. All highway. Tows a trailer perfectly straight. 4X4 with tow package. Getting ready to sell. Nobody else in the house to use it ! Lol

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.

First off, I paid cash for my car, so this is not a review of any financing procedures. After reaching out through Cars.com, I received an email and text within minutes from Cody. A car I had my eye on for a while went down in price to a point I couldn’t resist. I informed Cody I was interested in the vehicle and could sign asap, but I was stuck at the office and would be leaving on a trip straight from work later that day. Knowing the car was priced to sell, I was worried I might lose out on the deal. Cody drove the car to my place of work so that I could view it in person, and then made a second trip out with the paperwork for me to sign a couple hours later. We were able to handle the credit check via text. Hands down the easiest car buying experience I’ve ever had. They were even willing to hold the vehicle at the dealership for me to pick up once I returned from my trip. Cody is professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. 10/10 would buy from him again. Thanks, Cody!

Originally wanted the ST, but after losing everything in Hurricane Ida my finances were not where I needed for the ST. But I was shown the Timberline and hastily I agreed. But after a few weeks I was truly shocked at how much I actually loved this truck. I never thought a 4 cylinder could survive my hard driving style, especially since my last two cars had 400HP, but I was pleasantly surprised to feel extremely comfortable with the 300 HP eco-boost engine! When this lease is up even though my finances should be back on track, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be sticking with the Timberline!

I was in the market for a 2023 Bronco. I found the the exact car I wanted on cars.com at Capitol Ford. I went to the Capitol Ford website and found the information I needed and reached out to them. Shortly after that, I received a call from them and setup an appointment. A few hours later I was driving off the lot with my dream vehicle. This was a very pleasant low-pressure buying experience. I would highly recommend Capitol Ford

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 .

Samantha was a knowledgeable and courteous salesperson. She knew the vehicle specifications and assisted us with selecting the correct vehicle for our needs. They have a huge selection of vehicles in multiple trims, colors, and 'packages' for the mid sized SUV we were looking for. Their finance guy Wally was quick and very competent. They work as a team at DGDG Capitol Ford, the new car was detailed and ready to go as I was signing the last of the paperwork. They were fair in their price for our trade in and the whole experience was as pleasant as buying a car can be.

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.
