dmikulin Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 What is your favorite 2011 / 2012 Explorer color? i.e., What color would you get if you were buying today? I'm split between red candy and white, probably 60-40 in favor of white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice-capades Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 At our CT Dealership the White Platinum Metallic Tri-Coat (UG) has accounted for about 75% of Explorer sales to date. Otherwise there have been a couple of Bordeaux Reserve Red Metallic (FQ), Ingot Silver Metallic (UX) and Sterling Grey Metallic (UJ) and one or two Black (UA). There's only been one Golden Bronze Metallic (JQ) delivered which was a retail customer order. I'll never order the Golden Bronze for stock after seeing it.

That is the color my wife wants, but I'm worried about resales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedroboy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I ordered Sterling Gray, and i've seen a few around town, and I simply think it looks great with tinted windows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofydisneydaddy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I ordered Sterling Gray, and i've seen a few around town, and I simply think it looks great with tinted windows! Also chose Sterling Gray. Had to special order because that was the only color the wife and I agreed on, and it was the number one choice for both of us.

harddrive747 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) What is your favorite 2011 / 2012 Explorer color? i.e., What color would you get if you were buying today? I'm split between red candy and white, probably 60-40 in favor of white. My choice would be red candy and then the kona blue. I had a white truck for 8 years and it was ok, but I prefer some color. This is so that when it is cleaned, with a fresh coat of wax, I can see myself it in. I don't like the Bordeaux Red, it's too dark for me. The rest of the colors are ok. I had a 1994 Electric Red Explorer and I remember shortly after I got it, I was at a stop light and there was a car beside me and they occupants were admiring my Red Explorer. I like that feeling that I had something others liked to look at. Edited August 16, 2011 by harddrive747 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac227 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 The blue on the 2012 is slick. I want to order the white, but I haven't seen it. Anyone know if it's worth the $500? I always get nervous when ordering a unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryG Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I got the $500 white with tan leather and really love it. http://www.cleanmpg.com/photos/showphoto.php/photo/17153/cat/500/ppuser/36 My Son picked out black metallic and black leather '12 Focus SEL. There was a white one like my Explorer, but he wanted the black one. http://www.cleanmpg.com/photos/showphoto.php/photo/17823/cat/500/ppuser/36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveTaurus Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Thanks! Mine has the perforated black interior. Nice! Black color is usually a look of luxury and the feeling of substantial. I won't be buying a new vehicle anytime soon. But I am quite interested in the Explorer's choice of black leather trim with pecan inserts. Although there will be a limit on exterior color choices with that interior color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timf Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I love the Golden Bronze color. It was the one thing that almost convinced me to get an Explorer over an Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
