I'm not from China and I have never been there, but my understanding is that what we would consider standard domestic brands in North America, are considered high end luxury vehicles in China. Hell, the only reason GM keeps Buick alive is because Buick absolutely dominates in vehicle sales in China. Something to do with a combination of having only had access to small economy cars in the past, the appeal of "big American" vehicles being seen as status symbols, and a rapidly growing middle class. So while we would consider an Explorer a family hauler, they might consider more in the realm of an Escalade or Range Rover. You can even see it in the interiors for Fords that are sold in China. Premium materials, ultra large screens, etc.
makes sense yeah. wouldnt mind a 30th anniversary X here though
maybe with someheritage touches to come back to the 1st gen
I would love an Ex with a heritage package. Could you imagine if they made a modern version of the Eddie Bauer with gold painted cladding instead of black plastic?makes sense yeah. wouldnt mind a 30th anniversary X here though
true... heck a modern EB with true 4x4, retro touches, maybe throw in collumn shifting and/or a manual option... gonna get flamed for this, but no touchscreen, go back to old, big buttons that you can use with ski gloves on...ditch the electronic e brake... or heck, just make the 1st/2nd gen again on a shortened ranger platofrm
back ot big boxy... now thats somehting i would buy, fit it with the 7.3... or coyote.... but obviously its not a good idea at all, wouldnt sell, butcoolto imagine i'd even take true 4x4 and gold sides, and a few other touches
A lot of what you're describing is a vehicle Ford already makes. It's called the Everest, sold in Asian countries, and based on the global Ranger platform. There's even a tactical version of the last gen used by the French military.true... heck a modern EB with true 4x4, retro touches, maybe throw in collumn shifting and/or a manual option... gonna get flamed for this, but no touchscreen, go back to old, big buttons that you can use with ski gloves on...ditch the electronic e brake... or heck, just make the 1st/2nd gen again on a shortened ranger platofrm

oh yeah
bring back the sport!!!
Highly doubt they would. It's about the same size and is based on the same platform as the Bronco. So it doesn't really makes sense in NA, especially when the Bronco is going gangbusters for them.oh dang!!!! hadnt headr of it before... can they bring it here
