Its a fail IMO. I have no use for a FWD Explorer that is a lot like the Edge and Flex. No new Explorers in my future or my families for shure now. With the future goverment mpg and emmisions requirements lingering ahead, this is the crap we are going to get. Better get used to smaller FWD econo boxes and start downsizing/selling your toys.
Well when gas gets up there in price, you just might have to sacrafice what you have become accustomed to...
Also looks like you werent buying it anyway....
Reason to redesign....
"The Explorer was the US’s most popular SUV during the 1990s, with sales reaching a peak of 445,000 units in 2000, equal to 11 per cent of total Ford sales."
"But by last year, sales had tumbled to 52,200, or 3 per cent of the total, as Americans moved towards smaller, more fuel-efficient crossovers and sedans."
