New Explorer Concept revealed

[Rick]

I'd run it...

I like it:biggthump I think Ford should send one our way and have us build it for SEMA

 

[Silver X]

me too.

They never said It would be FWD

 

[FROADER]

Did some more work to it.

I would have no problem wheelin' the windows out of that.

But you need a better strap for the gas can on top. It looks like it fell over.

 

[Mickelsons]

Now it looks pretty cool...

Save you some trouble...

Nice!

 

[Gator Jeff]

Maybe a diesel electric hybrid drivetrain. No more broken driveshafts! Hey, if we're dreaming, might as well dream big.

If they made it the way Colin depicted it though, I'd sure consider it.

 

[mr.p]

hmm make it a 2 door and id buy it

 

[Donner]

That concept is not going to be released...

From Westin, Honda, 3 years ago...

 

[FROADER]

^^I'm confused. The Ridgeline is in production...

 

[Donner]

I'm just saying it's smooth and I'd drive a Honda before that concept thing... Ford isn't going to release that, that's just for show... the actual Ex will look nice.

 

[Silver X]

The Ridgeline is ugly.

 

[Diff Whack Daddy]

They could always use the AWD Ford Aerostar platform too.

 

[Essex4x4]

they sold earlier in year mate,i get great joy telling people floating around in there xk's that they are now driving a tata lol,hopefully they will keep the land-rover lines running,as at least they make a profit,it the jaguar plant that looses millions every year,but then they do have a workforce that actually thinks it still builds real cars,when in reality they have drifted back to british leyland build quality.

Looks like they only own Volvo, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury now.

Next Explorer 2011

I really think we need to get a petition signed by as many people as possible and start emailing Ford in hopes of stopping this next version of the Explorer. You might as well call it the new FLEX MINI. I need this truck to be on a full frame so I can tow my trailer. Ford says we will still offer the big trucks. Yes I would like one but not when diesel is $5 per gallon and gas is $4.50. What does everyone think?

Ford sold Land Rover and Jaquar to Tata Motors of India back in December for $2.3 billion. The deal was finalized in March. It's speculated Ford sold them to concentrate management and money on the current North American car crisis. Land Rover became profitable recently, earning $1.5 billion last year. Jaquar remains unprofitable, and cost Ford $10 billion during the 18 years they had it. Ford will continue providing engines, stampings and other components to Jaquar.
