THE FORD EXPLORER AT PRESTON FORD — BUILT FOR MENTOR'S LAKE SHORE FAMILY LIFE

Mentor, Willoughby, and Painesville families who need a three-row SUV that works every day — lake-effect mornings on US-20, school runs, the boat launch at Mentor Lagoons or Fairport Harbor on weekends, and the full passenger load at every holiday — will find the Ford Explorer at Preston Ford in Burton, OH covers all of it. Available 4WD gives Mentor area Explorer buyers the winter confidence that Lake Erie's south shore winters demand on US-20 and SR-2, and the Explorer's three-row seating gives Mentor families the passenger capacity their weekly schedule requires. Ford Co-Pilot360 is standard on every Explorer trim, and the available Explorer ST puts 400 horsepower into that three-row platform for Mentor area buyers who don't want to compromise performance for family capacity. Start with our trade-in value estimator and explore our financing options before making the SR-44 drive from Mentor.

EXPLORER ST — 400 HORSEPOWER FOR MENTOR BUYERS WHO WANT BOTH

The Explorer ST gives Mentor, Wickliffe, and Kirtland area buyers who want performance alongside three-row capacity something no other family SUV in the segment delivers at this price point — 400 horsepower from a twin-turbocharged V6, sport-tuned suspension, standard 4WD, and ST-exclusive styling inside and out, in a vehicle that still does school pickups and grocery runs on the other side of the day. Painesville and Eastlake area buyers who've driven standard three-row SUVs and found them competent but flat-feeling will find the Explorer ST's on-demand response transforms what a three-row family SUV driving experience actually feels like. Preston Ford carries the Explorer ST alongside the full Explorer trim range for Mentor area buyers who want to test back-to-back before deciding.

THREE-ROW CAPACITY AND 4WD FOR MENTOR'S NORTHEAST OHIO WINTER DRIVING

The Explorer's three-row seating gives Mentor and Willoughby area families genuine seven-passenger flexibility — second-row captain's chairs for comfortable passenger access to the third row, or a second-row bench for the full eight-passenger count on Mentor families who need maximum headcount. Available 4WD gives Mentor, Painesville, and Eastlake area Explorer buyers the lake-effect winter traction that US-20 and SR-2 demand when conditions deteriorate in from Lake Erie. The available panoramic sunroof and premium Harman Kardon audio give Mentor area families a genuinely refined daily driving environment at a price that consistently undercuts comparable European three-row SUVs. Our finance department builds competitive lease and financing options on every Explorer trim for Mentor area families.
