Used 2017 Ford Explorer in Hartford, KY

Ford Explorer: A Classic SUV for Modern Drivers

The Ford Explorer was an early leader in the SUV market when these vehicles began to gain popularity – a trend that has yet to see an end. And while the Explorer has been joined by legions of SUVs and crossovers of all shapes and sizes and from just about every manufacturer in existence, it continues to be a strong contender in the segment.

That’s because Ford has done an excellent job of updating and evolving the Explorer over the years to keep up with changing driver needs, expectations, and desires. Staying ahead of the curve in this way, the Explorer is not only still relevant in an increasingly crowded class, but it remains one of the best options out there.

Combining off-road prowess, interior comfort and refinement, and state-of-the-art features and amenities, the Explorer of today delivers impressively in all the areas that matter most to drivers shopping in the SUV segment.

The Explorer is a great option as a primary source of family transportation, but that’s not where it ends. It also manages to handle off-road conditions with ease and capability. Available all-wheel drive ensures that it can take on rough terrain and less-than-ideal weather without missing a beat.

If the Explorer is everything you’re looking for in an SUV but you’re more interested in saving as much as possible on your vehicle purchase than you are with having the very latest model, then a used Explorer is the answer. And for drivers in Hartford, KY, the best place to go to find them is Moore Ford.

At our dealership, our friendly sales associates will be happy to give you some firsthand experience behind the wheel and on the road with our used Explorer models and then introduce you to all the savings opportunities that are yours for the taking when you purchase from Moore Ford.
