any updates on this? would like to see some pics
You're excused Dan. I stated that Ford wants it to be considered as an SUV. As far as merriam-webster goes, definitions are changing all the time and new words are being added. The times they are a changing! The argument won't be settled here since people will call them what they want. As far as I and many others are concerned, we agree with the manufacturer that it is still an SUV and not all these types of vehicles are FWD biased. And as the article implies, it really doesn't matter. http://www.thedetroitbureau.com/201...doesnt-matter-because-new-explorer-impresses/To be pointed, an SUV is based on a truck platform aka: Expedition, Durango, etc.

To be accurate the 5th gen is actually a CUV: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_(automobile)
Now that is through, my earlier statement is still valid. I do not see the point in continuous argument over the classification of the 5th gen Explorer. I merely stated a fact about front wheel drive vehicles.
Now excuse me I have to return to actual important business...
Anyone do this install yet? Im debating it....
