Expert Reply:
For a replacement 7-Way trailer connector that will fit your 2012 Ford Explorer I recommend # C56278 because # 118242 is designed for certain Ford trucks but not the Explorer.
The replacement 7-Way, # C56278, includes the connector itself and a new harness that just plugs into the factory connector in place of the old one.
