The 2012 Ford Explorer. Featuring Exclusive Roll Stability Control. Hempstead Ford, LINCOLN, Mercury carries a large inventory of the 2012 Ford Explorer XLT, Ford Explorer XLT Sport, Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer, and Ford Explorer Limited.

Safety

AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ (RSC®). Explorer comes equipped with standard AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ (RSC®). It's the only stability control system with gyroscopic sensors measuring both vehicle yaw and roll motion. Corner too quickly or swerve to avoid an object and RSC will selectively apply brake pressure and adjust engine power to help keep you under control. Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It's always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.

5-Star Safety. Explorer has received NHTSA's 5-star crash test rating for all four crash seating positions (driver and right front passenger for frontal crash, and front and rear seating positions for side-impact). Explorer helps protect you with its standard Intelligent Safety System™ and standard front seat side airbags.

Flexibility

Seating Up To Seven. Explorer offers a variety of seating arrangements to suit your exact needs: (1) standard 5-passenger Explorer with front bucket seats and a 2nd-row 60/40 split-folding bench seat; (2) 6-passenger seating in Explorer Limited with the Quad Bucket Seat Group that includes 2nd-row sport bucket seats with center console; and (3) 7-passenger seating with front bucket seats, 2nd-row 60/40 split-folding bench seats, and available fold-flat 3rd-row seat (shown) which features a convenient 50/50 split design so you can fold one or both seat backs into the floor. The 3rd-row seat with manual control is optional in Explorer XLT and Eddie Bauer®. The PowerFold™ 3-Row Seat is standard in Explorer Limited and optional in Explorer Eddie Bauer with the 3rd-Row Power Package.

Plenty of Cargo Space. When you need your Explorer for carrying lots of cargo, you'll find it's more than up to the task. The 5-passenger Explorer provides a maximum 85.8 cu. ft. of cargo space with the rear seat backs lowered (83.7 cu. ft. in 7-passenger model). In the 5-passenger Explorer with 2nd-row seat backs in upright position, you still have 45.1 cu. ft. to carry a lot of belongings. Cargo and load capacity are limited by weight and weight distribution.
