Hunter got me the truck I wanted in my budget.
Hunter got me the truck I wanted in my budget. Very accommodating. Went out of his way to make the deal work for me and I?m very happy with the Truck.
I purchased a 2025 Ford Explorer Platinum with the 3.
I purchased a 2025 Ford Explorer Platinum with the 3.0 liter 6 cyclinder. The car has lots of power and drives well. It has lots of acceleration and easily pulls a 5000 lb trailer. Things I like about the car: 1. Heated and cooled front massage seats. On a long drive the massage seats are fabulous! 2. Very good radio/sound system 3. Wireless Apple/Android connectivity 4. Lots of cargo space What I dislike: 1. Gas mileage between 19-22 mpg 2. Lane departure system annoying 3. Had a rattle noise in the front of the car at 9000 miles that the dealer could not find. At 11,000 miles, the rattle mysteriously went away. No idea what is going on here. 4. Sometimes when I open the rear hatch, the chime sounds loudly, The next time it does not sound at all. Wish I could just turn it off. ??

I love my ST all except for seating.
I love my ST all except for seating. I’m just not a fan of European style seating soo we had an upholstery shop up grade them. Sooo much fun to drive! Great gas mileage considering I’m a lead foot. And when needed you can put a full 4x8 sheet of plywood in the back.

Travis the salesperson was outstanding, personable and
Travis the salesperson was outstanding, personable and professional. The dealer?s facilities are tired and outdated. The financing part of the transaction took way too long. After the vehicle decision had been made the transaction took roughly 5 hours to complete. I don?t want to do something that feels good for five hours!?
I purchased the 2022 Timberline preowned about 1 month
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.

Highly recommend buying a used 2018 Explorer
This is my fourth Explorer. I decided in 2018 to order the top-of-the-line Platinum. This vehicle has all the bells and whistles for a person that wants the luxury of one of Fords top models. It has Platinum leather seats that are very comfortable. If you can find today, buy it. It has the 3.5L V6 that has great power on acceleration. You can only buy a V6 now on the 2025 Explorer ST which is a 3.0L. The cost is around $60,000 Loaded.

My salesman Lynn was very helpful and informative. The truck is so quiet to drive and the gas mileage is great. Go by and check them out.
Great vehicle. Fun to drive.
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.

Driving experience is great.
Driving experience is great. Either engine is plenty of power but even the base 2.3l is very fast. Rear wheel drive bias is noticeable in driving dynamics making it fun to drive. The new Google based infotainment system one of the best in the industry in my opinion.. Almost don't even need a phone with how smart it is. Blue cruise is very convenient for long monotonous highway drives if equipped

This Explorer replaces a 2017 I loved.
This Explorer replaces a 2017 I loved. That car is still in the family. The Platinum Edition is fabulous, lots of bells and whistles. I choose to turn off the lane management system. It is somewhat aggravating. The automatic on off at stoplights can be irritating when you have a lot of stoplights. I will turn this feature off when I’m in traffic at a lot of lights. Otherwise, I keep it on. There is a great deal of new technology on the vehicle which is located on the center screen. It was not hard to learn, and although I’ve had this vehicle for a month I’m still learning a few things. This vehicle is a six seater with heated and ventilated seats. The back windows have screens, which is great when your transporting little children and anyone else the seats also have an automatic fold. This car will move quickly great pick up and even with a new car around town, I’m getting 20 1/half miles per gallon on regular gas. Although being a six seater, it is not too big. I had looked at a jeep which ran a good $13,000 more for the same features. The new body style on the Jeep was not appealing to a family member so we stuck with the Ford.

Brian is both kind and courteous.
Brian is both kind and courteous. I willl say that if you wish to peruse the lot apparently you will not know the prices of the car as in this dealership the sales folk must provide that information as it is not present on the car readily available.
10 years since we bought this vehicle used.
10 years since we bought this vehicle used. It has been awesome, over 110K on the clock; minor problems only. Biggest problems are with brake corrosion caused by very salty roads here. undercarriage corrosion is starting to take its toll. But the vehicle is still good enough we are hesitating to upgrade. Some minor, weird but occasional , electric glitches, mostly self locking. But then, the lack of electronics relative to newer models is a big plus to us. We have now owned this vehicle longer than any other we have ever had. interior issues are with the glove box hinge (plastic and breaks if you are not careful), and elbow rests cracking.

Service Experience
Staff was helpful and efficient. Love the shuttle service. Driver was fantastic
Great SUV, NOISY inside. Get ext. Warranty!
2016 Platinum. Nice SUV, comfortable, very powerful, decent fuel economy, fair build quality, but there are some things to be aware of; the AWD models have a PTU (power transfer unit) which sends power to the rear wheels. It is positioned very close to the exhaust, and the heat generated by the turbochargers literally cooks the gear oil in the PTU, causing it to fail. The unit only holds about a quart of oil, and is NOT serviced or checked, even when you have the vehicle serviced at the dealer. We had trouble with the front camera, and the recirculation actuator on the climate control. If you are considering a used Explorer, I highly recommend buying the best warranty you can! The only complaint I have is the road noise. On new pavement, it's quiet, but on all other roads it's VERY loud inside!

From the moment we walked into Andy Shaw Ford, we knew we
From the moment we walked into Andy Shaw Ford, we knew we were in good hands. Our search for a new Ford Maverick led us to an experience that exceeded our every expectation, thanks to the incredible team and their dedication to customer satisfaction. The atmosphere at Andy Shaw Ford was inviting and relaxed. We were immediately greeted by our salesperson, Dustin Shuler, whose professionalism and genuine enthusiasm for the Ford brand made us feel comfortable right away. Dustin took the time to truly listen to our needs, answer all our questions, and provide insightful guidance as we explored the features of the new Maverick. There was never any pressure, just honest, helpful advice and a real desire to help us find the perfect vehicle. Dustin’s knowledge and attention to detail were evident every step of the way. He made sure we understood all the options, kept us informed on the delivery timeline, and even checked in with us as the sale progressed. It’s rare to feel so valued as a customer, but Dustin ensured our experience was smooth, straightforward, and enjoyable. When it came time to finalize the purchase, Holly Johnson, the Finance Manager, made the process effortless. Holly was friendly, transparent, and extremely organized. She clearly explained every document, walked us through our financing options, and ensured we felt confident and comfortable with each decision. Her expertise turned what can sometimes be a stressful part of buying a car into a breeze. Driving home in our new Ford Maverick was the culmination of a fantastic journey. The vehicle itself is everything we hoped for—innovative, comfortable, and perfectly suited to our lifestyle. But what truly set this experience apart was the people at Andy Shaw Ford. When we returned the following day with some paperwork, no less than 6 other staff members, including Erica Bullock the General Manager, and Larry Hinton, Owner, congratulated us on our new Maverick. We wholeheartedly recommend Andy Shaw Ford to anyone in the market for a new vehicle. Between Dustin Shuler’s outstanding customer service and Holly Johnson’s expert guidance in finance, we felt respected and cared for throughout the entire process. Our experience was exceptional from start to finish, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return for our next purchase. Thank you, Andy Shaw Ford, Dustin, and Holly, Erica and Larry for making our dream car a reality!
