Ford Explorer Indianapolis
Ray Skillman Auto Group
“Good Enough” is Not Enough
Innovation is what sets the Ford Explorer apart from the competition. You’ll find the widest selection of these in-demand SUVs at Ray Skillman Auto Group in Indianapolis.
Speed + Endurance + Power = Explorer
This is Ford’s most capable Explorer yet, with two potent powertrain options mated to an exceptionally efficient 10-speed automatic transmission. The 2.3L EcoBoost turbocharged engine delivers 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque for speed straight off the line and the endurance to tackle dropping the kids off at school and taking the family on a road trip to the mountains. The 3.0L EcoBoost kicks things up a notch, cranking 415 pound-feet of torque in the 400-horsepower engine. Standard rear-wheel drive offers a more athletic performance and adds roughly 600 pounds of towing capacity. Ford’s Intelligent 4WD and Terrain Management System is available to give you an added feeling of confidence on snowy or unpaved roads.
Add Some Self Care to Your Commute
It’s not always easy to get a family of seven up and out of the house quickly. But once they’re out the door, it’s easier than ever to get them loaded into the Ford Explorer. The E-Z Entry second-row seats slide and fold with the push of a button, so even if you’ve got a child car seat anchored in place, accessing the back seat is a breeze. And once you’ve got everyone loaded, how about a little self-care? The Multicontour seats let you adjust the position for maximum comfort. And the available Active Motion system offers several massage themes that focus on either your lower or upper back, so you stay relaxed and arrive refreshed.
Luck Favors the Prepared
Even the most conscientious driver can use some extra help. With a carload of people and a freeway full of unpredictable drivers, having Ford Co-Pilot 360 at your side gives you additional peace of mind. Co-Pilot 360 includes a rear-view camera, lane-keeping assist, blind spot information, automatic emergency braking, and auto high-beam headlights. All of this (plus additional available driver-assist technology) helps you stay prepared for unpleasant surprises, so they won’t spoil your trip.

See What Our Customers Are Saying

Service was good and the gentleman helping me was very friendly. I feel 1.5 hours is way too long for the service.

Have purchased several cars there and maintenance. Always friendly, informative, fairly priced and job well done.

I called on Friday at 4 PM and got an appointment for 9:15 AM Monday. Took the car in because the engine light was on and the app said that it was the powertrain. Turned out it was an ignition coil and they also did my fuel injectors and oil change and had it ready by 6 PM. So far, so good! We did have a flat tire the next day, but it was a seal on the tire that I purchased somewhere else. Thank You! D. Anne Jones


Great experience and great staff!


The customer I received during my visit at Ray Skillman West Side Auto Mall was a high level experience! My car was serviced in the estimated time communicated when I first arrived in the service department. I was given a gift and hot cookies were available for all the customers as we waited.



Nice and fast in showing me vehicles available. I like that the facility has a nice service area connected to the showroom. The coffee and hot chocolate were so good, it made me want to stay.

I got same day help with tire replacement, was in and out in less than an hour, all while squeezing me in because I had no appointment when I drove up. Whitney in service was very helpful

Always treat me right. I recommend 1000%. Give them a great try. Won’t go wrong.



Very excellent service thanks Melissa for all your help

Extra friendly everyone was super nice and the young man that was our salesman was very polite and curteouse

My salesman was 5star from the beginning to the end! Everyone was so nice friendly and courteous! I will highly recommend Ray Skillman to my family and friends!

Great communication throughout the car buying process. They made it quick and easy from start to finish!

The best experience I have ever had!! Patrick did such an amazing job. I can’t say enough about how he went above and beyond anything I ever expected. I bought a Mazda CX5 in the summer and this was my first maintenance appointment. He sent me video detailing everything that was done on my car and did such a great job explaining everything. He also surprised me with some Ray Skillman Mazda West thank you gifts. I was able to come in 4 hours early than my original appointment on very short notice. I will be back for all of ...

Very good service with great team

Easy to make appointments. Exceptional and personable service at dealership. Always recommend the best ways to maintain my vehicle. I worked with Justin but I do not see him on the list. He is a fantastic service advisor.

very friendly people there and they do take time to make sure you are comfortable thank you

Excellent experience. talked through issue with car and brought me on to floor to show me what they had found.

I just purchased a Kia Forte! This is my fish Kia and it does not disappoint . Great car and the sales experience was top notch, I highly recommend this dealer Tommy and his staff made it simple and easy.

Easy and stress free. Service entry and customer waiting room clean and comfortable. Thank you


Great communication, reasonable price.

Everyone was sincere and very professional. Our wait time was about and hour, not bad at all. We always bring our Kia Soul in for the service and oil change.

Last week, I had the pleasure of purchasing a 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid from Ray Skillman Westside Auto Mall, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The moment we stepped into the dealership, we were greeted with a warm and professional atmosphere. Our sales consultant, Tavo, was a true professional. He demonstrated a deep knowledge of the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid and answered all our questions with patience and clarity. Tavo took the time to understand our needs and preferences, making sure we felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. His approach was not just about making a ...

My brakes, front and rear, were shot. Brantly Batton got me right in at 8 a.m. without an appointment. Was told I'd be ready to go by noon to 1 pm. It was ready right on schedule. Receivced excellent service from my service advisor , Brantly Batton, and the brakes work great. Disappointed that Brantly's name and photo does not appear below.

My husband and I just bought a car at Ray Skillman Westside Auto Mall and we had a really good experience. We worked with Elizah who was a great salesperson! He was friendly, knowledgeable and and hardworking.

Excellent customer service and the guy Heyden it was very helpful I give him 5 star as well

Purchased my 2024 Buick Encore GX and I am totally satisfied with my salesman, Frank Maqbool. The entire staff is helpful and friendly. Good place to do business. Had a slight problem with my new car and was given a loaner car for overnight use. My car was fixed by the next morning. The service department was great,thank you for being so quick. Good group of people both in sales and service. Will continue doing business with you. Everything was nice and clean makes you feel very comfortable. Would recommend them to everyone.

It's close to home and staff is qualified. I will continue to use this location.

Ahmad was helpful and professional. Great job.

Ian Ryan and the team at this dealership are the best in the business. Knowledgable, trustworthy and hardworking - just bought a Yukon from them and it was a great experience.


The salesman did his job very wonderful, the finance team was great keep up the good work

My car was serviced promptly, All personnel were professional and helpful. This was my first oil change in my new Hyundai Tucson and a recall was also addressed and a replacement part was exchanged during this appointment. Much appreciated!

Service is always excellent in thy service department! Nathan goes out of his way to call and make sure everything is set as always.

Josh and Mike were the best!! Second car weve bought from Ray Skillman, and wont go anywhere else! They were kind and helpful!

This was our second time buying a Hyundai at Skillman Auto Avon. Though we live closer to other dealerships, we had such a good buying experience the first time (March 2023), that we knew we wanted to work with Skillman Avon, again. The sales person, Mikayla was a huge help, and her customer service was 5 star. She listened well, and helped me sort through the options we were considering. Since we had ample time to even decide if we really NEEDED to purchase a car, Mikayla made me feel comfortable telling her our thoughts along the way as to what our ...


Hayden and JT were absolutely fabulous!! Everyone I encountered was super friendly and knowledgeable. Outstanding!!!

This is the 2nd car that I have purchased from Ray Skillman Buick in three years. My salesman Dylan Lewis is awesome. The service department there is friendly and efficient.

Everyone is so friendly helpful and they seem happy to see you again. They answer all my questions no matter how silly. Love this service department.

Dave was very knowledgeable. I appreciate the time he took to explain what was required for my vehicle. Very genuine person. Felt I could trust him. Eric also assisted me when I had a question about my extended warranty. He remembered me from a year and half ago when I purchased my vehicle.

Every time I come and get any services done I get the best service I must say Patrick the Service Manager always make sure my visit are done with efficient and excellent service. Patrick is The best I've never had this quality of Service!!

We received personal attention and assistance from several team members, including the GM. They were respectful of our time and preferences and found the car I wanted in a timely manner. The deal that was made was fair and good for both of us. We appreciated this transaction and will be back if/when we are ready to trade again.


Prompt and efficient, not pushy. Explained things well. Hayden was helpful and knowledgeable. Checked in frequently

I recently purchased a 2023 Hyundai Kona from this dealership, and I couldn't be happier! Mike Clark and Zarious Coleman were amazing throughout the entire process. They not only provided exceptional support but also showed kindness and were hands-on every step of the way. The car is incredibly economic, and I felt comfortable and at ease during my time at the dealership. I highly recommend Ray Skillman Avon Hyundai for anyone looking to purchase a new car. Thank you, Mike and Zarious, for making my first car-buying experience a breeze!


My wife and I had a very good experience at Ray Skillman Avon Hyundai. Cameron Klien, Michael McConnell did a masterful job not only arranging a satisfactory deal but also found a vehicle that was perfect for us.


(Translated by Google) Excellent service and customer service!!! (Original) Excelente servicio y atención al cliente!!!


Josh was very friendly and professional in helping us purchase our new Tucson. He patiently explained the many features of the car and was very clear and thorough in his explanations. We didn't feel rushed or pressured in any way. We are very happy with the service and our new car!

Nathaniel on the service team is absolutely amazing to work with. Super friendly yet personable. He is serious about his job but will also make you laugh while doing it.


Prompt and timely response. Friendly atmosphere and very clean space

I was in on time and out in a reasonable time. Always a great staff.

I highly recommend working with Brandon. He was very informative and got me in and out of the dealership. Eric and Mike in finance department were on top of it as well. You won’t be disappointed if you choose to buy from Ray Skillman Hyundai Avon!!

(Translated by Google) I use Mazda because it feels safe when driving and gives me comfort in all aspects of my life! (Original) Utilizo Mazda por cuánto se siente seguridad al conducir y me brinda confort para todos los aspectos de mi vida!

I’m so very pleased every time I go to the dealership. I’m always greeted by several staff members. Service department is great as well!

This is the third vehicle we have purchased from this wonderful dealership. We trust them and they do what it takes to get you what you want. I would highly recommend them!

Amazing service, really helped me get the color I want.

Great timely service!!

Just bought a new Hyundai Sante Fe Hybrid and love it! Contacted Marcus online a few months ago (when we considered a new car), then saw him at the tent sale, and later at the dealership. He was very considerate of our indecision and the low availability of the Hybrid we were interested in. Never pushy or overbearing! Once we made up our mind; he found the car at a sister dealer, and after minimal negotiation made a deal! Great experience!


Excellent.


James, Lyndsay, Blake & Team were PHENOMENAL!!! Thank you so much for all you do!

great service. Not to mention a complimentary interior vacuuming as well as a car wash

I am extremely pleased with the purchase of my vehicle from Ray Skillman Westside Auto Mall. It is said that "time is money." They spent a fortune on me of their time making sure I had the car of my dreams and being patient while I decided. They were always kind and considerate and even fed me home-baked cookies and sodas when I came in. It seemed like they were hand-picking cars I might like to see and called me to let me know what was available. I never had service like that before. Not pushy. Just letting ...

Good work my friends. Enjoyed your service. Made every thing very worthwhile. See you next time.

Daren was super helpful throughout the repair process, and I love the video review prepared by the mechanic. I feel I am valued and get good value at Ray Skillman Mazda West!!

Worked me in on only day I had available and gave me as great of service as I could ever ask for!

Very fast service.

I had a wonderful experience with Ahmad. I stopped by to look at a vehicle and he showed all that it had to offer! The manager, Eric, I believe, greeted us after to thank us just for stopping by. They were very professional and I highly recommend working with them!

Each team member that I had the opportunity to work with during my purchase were very professional and helpful. I was able to leave with the car I really wanted. Even though right now my interest rate is somewhat high I am still pleased with my purchase

They worked with me and budget to help me make a good decision about my vehicle purchase. I was able to drive away with a practically brand new car at 22. They talked through everything with me and made sure I completely understood everything I was signing into while also making a long term plan with me to build my credit and possibly lower my payments in the future.



Courteous service with a smile. Thorough work done very quickly and under the estimated time. Thank you


Best service!


Good online scheduling and backend tech that lets them text you if they find other service work that may be necessary. I appreciate the efficiency of being able to click a link, review the info, and sign... all self-service, while sitting in the waiting room. Makes everything faster with less waiting. A free car wash with your service is also a nice touch.

Everyone was pleasant and attentive. Glad to see the return of great service again!

Adam, our salesperson, was awesome!

GT is my go to salesman. I’ve now bought 3 cars from him!



Completely satisfied with my purchase a year ago and the ease of getting my vehicle serviced at 8,000 miles. The waiting area was clean, quiet, and suitable for remote work. The service was completed within an hour.

Very helpful great experience over all!

AUSTIN BURNS IS THE MAN!!! Great experience overall, would definitely recommend to friends and family!

Service department very professional, polite and knowledgeable. Will refer to friends. Location is great and easy to get too.


Excellent vehicle section service was above expected.
