Best vehicle on the road fuel efficient. The gas mileage has become excellent especially with the raising prices of gas. I have a 4 cylinder and it can keep up with any car or truck. The vehicle is 3 years old, 16,000 miles and I've never had a problem yet. I can trust this vehicle to take me anywhere. The vehicle still has a new car smell. I don't travel a lot but when I do, it is very reliable in all areas. The tire wear is excellent. I have no rattles, dents or battle scars yet. The car is kept in a garage unless it is in use. I travel with kayaks and they fit excellent on the top and I have no problems going under bridges. The color of my vehicle is gray and I didn't realize there were so many shades of gray until I purchased this one. I can get lost in the mall parking lot real easy if I don't keep track of other things to remember where I parked. I really don't have any thing negative to say. This is my second escape to own. I bought my first one the year they became on the market.

Being a previous Explorer owner, my heart was set on purchaser another. On a budget that I wasn't willing to compromise on - I left the dealer with a red 2012 Ford Explorer. To my surprise it was a pleasant ownership experience and I was able to do most of the things I did in a larger vehicle. When doing hardware stops I simply let down the back seats and loaded things in. The car ran well with no glitches or problems.
