It is time to replace my 2016 Explorer--which will go to my wife and her 2012 will go to one of the kids. The 2016 is just short of 100k miles and the 2012 is about 142k. Both are Limited models.
The net price less any sales tax:
2012, $39,783.53
2016, $45,767.48
The only record I have of those prices is the checks, I don't know what the MSRP was.
The new one is a Sport---necessary to get the biggest engine. That comes with a trailer hitch which the others did not have.
The current pair have a split rear seat (seats 3), the 2020 has bucket seats which is a deduct of $495.
...and the MSRP is.......$55,450. I don't yet have the net selling price since I just sent it off this morning to me son---for the "family" discount.
Just for giggles, I priced out a similarly equipped MB GLC 350e 4 Matic, the MSRP shown below.

The 2020 is virtually identical to what I am driving (Limited) and the price is virtually the same as the 2016 I am currently driving.
The price is based on invoice, less 3% hold back. It will be about 6-8 weeks to build and deliver.

The 2016 lasted longer than it's recent predecessors because it didn't move for 4 months after my fall!

This will be my fourth, beginning with the first year of this style. I am well satisfied with all of them. The first one was ordered in August and didn't arrive until the next spring---there was an entire series of snafus associated with the release, caused mostly by the electronics.
I would not want to make my weekly drive without the litany of safety features these vehicles have to aid drivers.
I have become so "integrated" into those features, that when changing lanes I look first for the presence or absence of the warning light in my mirror---then I look at the image in the mirror.

My Father just bought one. I was not comfortable driving it. Might have been my height but also the steering felt off. Probably just takes some seat time to get use to it.

I have not been invited to examine those accommodations yet, Fred, but there is a decrepit elderly bum who has been reported dragging a sack of empty cans behind him in the city who may yet find himself in a position to report on it......Ben

The latest projection is late Feb, early March It doesn't even have a VIN as yet
I'm thinking it could be the color---"Silver Spruce". Unless there has been recent changes the auto industry is not into fast color changes and so they batch orders based on color.
