Customer Question

My son is looking to buy a 2012 Explorer(, the one that gets the best gas mileage.) Would you recommend this car?

Hi,

I am not impressed by them at all. They dont get the mileage advertised and just seem poorly made as compared to previous years and othe models.

In the price range of the 2012 Explorer, I would either go with a 2012 Toyota 4runner, Toyota Highlander, or the Nissan Xterra. Any of those would be a much better purchase than the 2012 Explorer with the ecoboost engine

Hi,

Depending upon all the options, the 4runner gets around 18 in city and 24 on highway and the Highlander around 22 city and 26 highway

The Xterra is around 15 city and 20 highway.
