Ok Guys and Ladies:
Here is the scoop from NC.
I have actually laid eyes and sat in a New Explorer Sport, (Black, on Black).
The following is only my Opinion. Let me state up front I declined to do a test drive in it due to the temptation to make a purchase. (I ordered mine June 8th, it was allocated for production through the Atlanta office this past week, so I have been told).
The electronics in the Unit is outstanding and very user friendly, basically you can control the entire Unit from the steering wheel. (Voice & Hands on) Ford defiantly did their homework up front with the applications and layout, the wife and I were impressed. Example: rear power lift door, with the door fully open it is somewhat close to being 6.5 feet from the open/close button to the ground,( I'm 6 foot tall no problem) the wife is 5 foot tall it is an issue, you can open the rear door and hold the open/close button while holding the door at a desired height, you will hear a beep and the Max height will be set, 5.5 feet if you wish.
As for the engine running it has No Sound it is very quiet, I stepped down on it to hear the Twins Spool, Nothing it was still quiet, No Rumble, No Nothing. The sales person did say it was wicked and very strong when the rubber hit the road, he implicated the ride was a touch harsher than the other models which is expected.
The unit was six passenger, the second row seats appeared small but they sat very well to me, as for third row maybe you should be short & small in stature. The unit was equipped with 402A, moon roof, tow, mats, 2nd row bucket etc...
NOTE: I did have one Negative about the unit, when getting into the driver and passenger seat area you must step up and into the Unit, when getting out you must step out of the Unit not just slide your feet out. There is like a 4 inch drop from where the Explorer Lighted entrance plate to the bottom of the foot plate. (Excuse my description but you will know what I mean when you actually sit in one).
