Depending on how you configure your 2012 Ford Explorer, the maximum speed it can reach will vary slightly. The '12 Explorer is available with either a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine or a larger 3.5L V6. It's no surprise that the V6 model, with its greater power, can achieve a slightly higher top speed. The 2.0L version can reach a theoretical maximum speed of about 142 miles per hour, while the V6 model can go a bit faster, reaching over 150 miles per hour. However, if your Explorer still has the original PCM software, its speed is likely capped at 115 miles per hour. It's not advisable to try to bypass these limits since driving at higher speeds is usually unnecessary in practical situations.
