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 - Purchased a New car

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. - Purchased a New car

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. - Purchased a Used car

2012 front suspension?????
It has been a very good car except a couple of times I have had a very hard time turning & now there is a popping in the front when turning the wheel especially backing up. I called Ford & they told me if I live on a dirt road that year is notorius for getting dirt up in the suspension. They said they could change it out & charge me several hundred dollars & I would be right back in next year with the same problem. However I am kinda worried about this & hauling my grandchildren & others around. I asked if they had that much problem why are they not recalled with a new part that doesn't do that?? - Purchased a Used car

Does what it needs to do
This car is great if you're moving a lot of people or cargo. It's a great towing machine (I towed campers and boats with it, never had a problem) and comfortably seats 7. It may not be as "manly" looking as a huge pickup, but it's a practical choice. If you're looking for a affordable car to put your whole family while towing the boat to the lake, this is the one for you. - Purchased a New car

My first ‘used’ car purchase
I always buy new cars but this was for a third vehicle and my budget was limited. This car had great features and looks and runs like new. It’s roomy, has 7 seats for grandchildren, and feels very solid - Purchased a Used car

One of the best chameleon performance driven SUV
This SUV is very adaptable to almost every need a family could need from the interior to the 4x4 system in the vehicle. Reliability has been great. I have driven the vehicle through mountain pass snow, flooding waters, hot heat and have not had any trouble. It is my wife's everyday driver and she enjoys it thoroughly. - Purchased a New car
