There are 2 HUGE issues w the 2011 - 2013 Explorers that FORD will not accept responsibility for: (1) The front hood rusts along the entire seam that started at under 36 months (30K miles) & FORD will not assume responsibility for under the new car 60 month rust through warranty. (2) The sunroof / moonroof drain(s) need to be cleaned by the dealer (Cost $150 per event) or else there is a massive leak into the passenger side floor whenever there is a rainstorm. The dealer has been unable to define a recommended time interval so I've had it done every 2nd oil change or 6000 miles. When I forgot we had a goldfish pond in the front and rear passenger compartment.

Purchased my 2013 Explorer Sport after 10 years of driving BMW X-5's and based on this one I will be with Ford for a while. Ecoboost is a fantastic motor. I have 18,500 miles and vehicle has been in the shop for 2 services and that's it. Not one problem even with the highly disparaged SYNC. Maybe I just got lucky but my just plain works great! Did I mention how good the Ecoboost motor is! Over 20MPG on the highway and 15-17 in stop and go city driving. Really a lot of pickup for getting on freeways or passing.

I have a 2012 BMW and I find myself driving the Explorer more and more. Its quick, big enough for the kids and all of our stuff, great sound system, etc.
On a different plane...

Having considered an Explorer Limited since the 2011 redesign, my wife and I are glad to have waited a couple of years for the Explorer Sport. Trading off a 2007 V8 Explorer XLT, the Sport's Ecoboost V6 and Taurus SHO driving dynamics made us completely forget the V8. This is a fully modern, refined and fun-to-drive vehicle that exists on a completely different plane from the body-on-frame Explorers of yore. It's tight, solid, carefully constructed and (to our eyes) very handsome. The dual-panel glass roof, ambient lighting and Star Trek dash layout create an interesting and special interior environment, especially at night. It feels upscale for a Ford. And at nearly $49K, it should!
Crazy NOT to own one!!!!

This is absolutely the best vehicle I've ever owned. Great handling in the snow, slush and rain. Fuel economy 15 driving in city and 25 on Highway using adaptive cruise control. Drive conservative and fuel economy is great. Heavy on the gas and watch the fuel gauge drop.
