MSRP: $29,135 - $40,720
Invoice: $27,459 - $37,972
Fuel Economy: 17 mpg City, 24 mpg Highway
In the mid-sized SUV category there is a tie between Ford Explorer and Nissan Murano. No surprise that Ford led in dependability. The company has poured a lot of quality improvement into its SUVs, especially since it does not even offer a true minivan any more. The old Explorer was a winner. It will be interesting to see if the new one launched for the 2012 model year with much better fuel economy grabs and pleases its owners as much as the old one did.
