Ford Explorer for Sale
When the Ford Explorer debuted in 1991, it was designed to fulfill two purposes: to be a strong contender in the midsize SUV class and to deliver off-road capabilities for those who wanted to enjoy the road less traveled. Today, several years and generations later, drivers who want to check both these boxes—along with a few others—continue to choose a Ford Explorer for sale over other vehicles in its class.
The Ford Explorer is a practical yet powerful SUV that appeals to professionals who want a refined drive, families who need both cargo and passenger space, and outdoor enthusiasts who need the power to tow the family camper on the weekend or the confidence to tackle more rugged terrain. If you are looking for a midsize SUV, our team at LaFontaine Ford St. Clair invites you to check out the new and used Explorers we have in our inventory. For now, keep reading to see what the Explorer offers and how it could fit into your driving routine.
The Explorer Stands Out in a Crowd
There is no doubt that the Ford brand is doing something right with the Explorer. After all, it has been a favorite among drivers for decades, which is hard to accomplish given how many options are available. Taking a closer look, however, it is hard to pinpoint exactly what puts the Explorer over the top since it is such a well-rounded option.
For some drivers, it is the power it offers and its ability to tow whatever you might need, whether that is a trailer filled with landscaping supplies or ATVs. For others, it is the chance to choose what powertrain fits their lifestyle best, either gas-powered or hybrid. Still, others enjoy the thoughtful layout of the interior, offering ample space for both passengers and cargo while managing to put everything you need right at your fingertips.
Speaking of, the Explorer is equipped with many of the latest advancements regarding technology and safety. Plus, it offers a quiet and comfortable ride, regardless of what seat you are in. Additionally, you can choose the trim level that best fits your needs, whether off-roading is on your bucket list or you are looking for sophisticated styling and luxury. Ultimately, the Ford Explorer offers the best of both worlds, allowing you to pick the right trim level for your unique personality.
Choosing a New Ford Explorer
While looking for that perfect trim level, one of the first questions you will need to ask yourself is whether you want to focus on a new or pre-owned Explorer. Choosing a new one gives you the chance to enjoy the latest styling and features, along with enjoying the confidence that comes from knowing you have the full factory warranty on your side.
Additionally, when opting for a new Explorer, you can custom-order the trim, packages, and even the color you want. This gives you complete control of the process and helps ensure you are making a satisfying investment. Finally, choosing a new Explorer means you know the service history from the start, which can be a big motivator for some buyers who worry about the unknowns that come from purchasing a pre-owned vehicle.
Shop for a Used Ford Explorer
On the other hand, opting for a pre-owned vehicle is the right path for many drivers. First, choosing a used vehicle is cost-effective. Not only do you get to avoid the depreciation that hits new vehicles in the first few years, but you also have the opportunity to find a top-tier trim for less than it was brand-new. This allows you to enjoy the best features while sticking to your budget. Additionally, used vehicles cost less to insure, which saves you even more money.
You can also rely on our knowledgeable team, as well as your own research and the vehicle history report that comes with each used model, to help you decipher any unknowns so that you feel confident in your decision. Plus, you can be assured that our factory-trained technicians have thoroughly assessed each of the used Explorers in our inventory to make sure they are ready for their next driver.
Financing Your Next Explorer
Regardless of whether you choose a new or pre-owned Ford Explorer, our finance department can help with the next step. We also understand that this part of the process can be stressful for many of our customers, which is why we give you the chance to make this step the first one in the process by applying for financing at home. If you choose this path, a member of our team will reach out to discuss your options once you have submitted your information.
Of course, you can also wait until you are at the dealership and have picked your Explorer. Either way, it is our goal to make sure you have all the details you need to make an informed decision. With this in mind, we can also discuss leasing versus a loan with you if you have opted for a new vehicle. Getting a lease often leads to a lower payment while giving you the chance to enjoy the latest styling and features every few years.
Whether you complete the credit application or not, we invite you to check out the other online tools we offer, such as the payment calculator or the trade-in tool. Each of these can help you feel more confident in the next step you decide to take.
