Miles Overview
The 2012 Explorer is Ford's mid-size SUV, the one that replaced the old truck-based model with a car-like unibody platform. On the road it feels more like a tall car than a truck, with a smooth ride and steering that's easy to live with day to day. The cabin is genuinely roomy, and the third row folds flat to open up a big cargo area when you need it. Some owners have had the Sync screen go blank or the paint bubble on the hood, though both were fixed under warranty. The XLT is the volume trim, giving up the Limited's leather and premium audio to save several thousand dollars while keeping the same powertrain choices. This XLT has the 3.5L V6 making 290 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive that handles snow and gravel with confidence.
