Love it
We have owned a 2012 explorer since it was brand new. Lots of room for cargo. Lots of leg room Powerful We do routine oil changes on it Amd fix whatever needs tending to…..Our yearly to year and a half maintenance that needs doing is rear bushings that run about 350 The paint chipped on the front hood a few years back but no rust there yet. I am starting to notice a bit of rust starting down by driver door probably from salt from the roads in our Canadian winters. But it handles amazing on ice and snow (with winter tires of course). Driver door rear has started to unstitch. The original Headlights were phenomenal to see down our dark deer filled hiways. However we changed them out and they are not in comparison to what we had. We also just changed our brakes. For having 282+ KMs in it. I will be driving it until it drops

Buy any other year NOT the 2012.
2012 Explorer is the worst Explorer I have ever owned. I HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS with this model. I have owned 3 Explorers; this year was by far the worst. at 18 thousand miles I replaced the tires,20 thousand mile rear arm bushing all the while the windshield guard kept blowing off the car I replaced that about 5 times I also called Ford to no avail the driver side armrest fell apart I DON'T recommend this year.

Very Nice Vehicle
Ive owned a 2012 Ford Explorer Limited since 2014 and it’s been a very reliable vehicle for me and my family. The 3.5L V6 has a lot of get-up-and-go and it’s very comfortable.
