Excellent service, highly recommended for any problem or maintenance to your motor vehicle.

Like I've said, these guys (Joe and his crew) are quality guys and know what they are doing. Excellent service.

Explorer 2005

I always wanted one. People tried to talk me out of buying one as the gas was very expensive in 2009, when I bought it. I have never regretted buying it. It drives great.

05 Ford Explorer!!

I absolutely love the gact that it is 4x4 auto and can be switched to 4low and 4 high with a push of a button. This car has saved us in many Colorado winter storms. I love my explorer and it still runs pretty great being 12 years old with little maintenance and 170,000+ miles.

Lucky find on the internet

I found this vehicle on the internet and thought it sounded like a very good replacement for my 1995 Explorer that has 252,000+ miles on it. After going to the dealer who had the vehicle ( Kerry Hyundai) and test driving it, my wife and I decided that this was an excellent replacement for the 1995. The vehicle has everything + that you would want. The mileage was 92,000 but the vehicle is in outstanding condition. I am sure that with the care and recommendations that Steele's Hometown has always provides us we will be sure to get at least another 150,000 miles on this vehicle.

2005 Explorer

The Ford Explorer has been a very dependable car. We purchased new in 2005 and now are approaching 167,000 miles. Driving it is very smooth and handles well, especially in snow. It has been very roomy and comfortable for handling a lot of sports items while traveling. The inside has held up very nicely over the last 13 years.

My third Ford Explorer

I have always been a Ford fan all of my life and will be until the day I die. I'm currently driving my third Ford Explorer (1991,1999, and now 2005 with 144,000 miles and still running and performing like a champ! All of them have been 4X4 and been driven in very loose sand on the beach. The current one is a Limited and is superb!

Love my Ford!

I’ve had my Explorer for almost 8 years and I love it so much! I had minimal issues with my truck since I’ve owned it. I’ve been able to transport so many things in my truck. I am glad she is still running strong!

Great, Dependable vehicle with 182 thousand miles and still going strong

I purchased the car in January of '08 with 32K miles/1 owner. I tend to be hard on the interior of my vehicles (I haul a lot of stuff around) but it has held up well. My only complaint is that the plastic pieces (the visors and the piece that lifts up in the back to get to the spare tire all break very easy). Other than that I have been very happy with this vehicle. My late husband swore by Fords and would have been very happy I got such a dependable car after his untimely passing at 38 yrs old. I hope when this one kicks the bucket I can afford a semi new one! I have kept up with all the maintenance and am glad I have. I see lots of these vehicles on the road.

Best vehicle I've owned to date.

I'm setting at 118,000 and still running strong. Now it's not without its problems. Paint on roof is is pealing and flaking with some surface rust. Poor paint or roof design. Either the rear end has a problem or the transmission but it's been doing the hard shift at times. Other than that nothing but normal maintenance.

Good overall vehicle.

My Explorer performs very well. Despite being a 4 wheel drive truck, it is comfortable and performs well. It has good acceleration and good handling. And on snowy days it handles the slick surfaces very effectively.

My 2005 ford explore that I purchase new has had is problems, the trans was repaired, the separation of the body of the tailgate in which I noticed many explores with the same problem, and the head liner coming apart.

Long lasting

My 2005 (new at the time) Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer edition is now over 15 years old and has been a good, reliable vehicle. It pulled our small motor boat on its trailer and sits 6 Passengers comfortably and perhaps 7 if three can climb all the way to the back. Plenty of room for groceries, cleans easily, minimal if any problems in winter driving. Would get another one.

Explorer

we were the original Owner of 2 Explorers. Mostly longer trips. My biggest complaint is the transmissions on the Ford Explorer. We replaced one on our 2002 Explorer at $75,000 miles and also on our 2005 Explorer when it was 9 years old. Thanks
