What Makes the Explorer a Great SUV

Benefits of Shopping for a Pre-Owned Explorer
The Explorer has been a staple in the Blue Oval lineup for decades. This means that you have plenty of options available on the used lot to suit your driving needs and budget. Ford is an affordable brand, catering to today's American drivers; however, finding a model on the used lot allows you to save even more on your vehicle.
The used lot features a wide variety of Explorer models. This means that you have access to a host of benefits when you choose to shop used. These include:
- Models that span the years, with more recent models available, as well as models that are a bit older and even more affordable.
- The chance to get into an Explorer trim or special edition that can no longer be found in the new lineup adds exclusivity to your travels.
- The opportunity to get into a more luxurious trim, take advantage of advanced tech, or get into a more recent model for less money than what you'd pay for a comparable model on the new lot.
- A versatile array of options, making it easier than ever to make your Bowling Green rides more in tune with your unique needs behind the wheel.
If you want to shop from a broad range of Explorer models, instead of being limited just to what resides on the new lot, the used inventory may be perfect for you. If you want to shop from models that are reliable and in great condition, this is something that you can expect from the selection here at Reineke Ford of Findlay.
Ford Explorer: A Pioneer SUV
The Explorer first made its way onto the streets as a 1991 model, making it one of the first SUVs available for the everyday American driver. It ushered in a wave of other models throughout the years, but none are quite like this do-it-all Ford staple. From the road to the woods, the Explorer is able to handle any driving condition it finds itself in with confidence.
Highly Versatile
From families to adventure enthusiasts, the Ford Explorer draws in many different types of travelers. Its accommodating nature allows it to provide the space families are searching for, with ample room for people and gear, while its rugged build allows it to traverse challenging terrain with gusto. It's also smooth and agile on the road, which is perfect for daily drivers everywhere.
Impeccably Powerful
Whether you're towing your trailer full of ATVs to the woods or navigating a bout of inclement weather, the Explorer can handle it. It shows off exceptional towing capabilities and an energetic engine that makes any drive more enjoyable for all on board. Plus, with all-wheel drive capabilities offered, unsavory terrain is no match for this Ford icon.
Intelligently Designed
There are few vehicles that can draw in such a diverse crowd of drivers like the Explorer can. Its modern design and spacious cabin, accentuated with premium appointments in top-tier trims, appeals to those who require excellence during their commute to work.
Its rugged exterior detailing and can-do attitude make it a great choice for adventure enthusiasts and those with tougher tasks on their agendas. Whether you prioritize luxury or practicality, space or adventure, the Explorer has it all, making it one of the most popular SUVs of our time.
