The first stuck 2011 Ex?

I was reading this article on Jalopnik-

When I noticed something familiar...check out the picture in the middle of the article. What's that? A silver 2011 Explorer. So much for being capable anymore :

Ha, I think 99% of vehicles would be stuck in that. Before you reply with "but my Gen II can easily plow through that with my 33s" how often do you commute to work in your Gen II with 33s?

Could've mistaken it for a minivan : like the one on the right side near the guard rail.

Nobody saw it in the winter thread! I'm hurt...

AP photo, still funny. Why the hell did whoever that was leave their door open?!?

What a piece of crap. It should have driven over the hundred cars in front of it monster truck style.

My explorer would be suck in that I bet.

Least the city is being proactive about the situation and setting up a website. I feel bad for all the people that got stuck for 9 hours

I wonder if they were driving home from the dealership after picking it up?

Talk about a mountain of suck, if that was the case...

That Ex looks less stuck and more blocked in by all the traffic around it. Not saying it could have gone much farther, but there is a car infront that stopped it where it is.

That reminds me of what happened on rt 18 back in the christmas snow storm..people were stuck for a day before anyone got to them. It does looks very nice sitting there though.

Moderator time here folks. This is going into all threads on the '11 Explorer.

I know there are those of you out there that do not like the new Explorer. I'm fine with that and you are entitled to your opinion. HOWEVER I am tired of people bashing the '11 without ever driving one, sitting in one, or in some cases seeing one. If you have experience with one and don't like a feature or how it drives or how it failed you somehow, please post up about it. I've already found stuff I don't like and posted up about it, and I'm sure that there are other features/items that I will find that I don't like either.

If you don't like the fact that Ford called this an Explorer and you feel that the name is tarnished, don't whine here, it won't do any good. You'll just piss people off. Sent a note to Ford and complain to them. If enough people don't like the re-design and tell Ford, maybe they will take that into consideration.


If anyone persists in continued bashing or sniping (as in any other forum on the site), you will become eligible for a vacation from the site of an undetermined length.


Please do not respond to this post saying F-You or Thank You...That's not why it's here. Just read it and continue on.

Thank You.

On Edit..a healthy debate is always welcome on here. Please do not take it as different opinions are not allowed. It's the bashing that needs to stop.
