This will be a good opportunity to meet more market requests since the Edge/Escape and one rumored smaller CUV can fill the needs for FWD based MPG and packaging needs. The Explorer with the huge police use will be able to get more power and options which in turn flow over to the consumer. Having RWD as the base design would interest me for sure and look forward to the next evolution of Explorer.
It's actually amazing how well the PI Utility has done for North American Law Enforcement sales. Ford has now almost 70% of the Police market and they gain every month now.
GM is almost non-existent, while Dodge has taken over the Police Sedan market as the Charger is a better sedan than the PI Sedan.
Police market really does have an influence on next-gen Explorer.
I'm still surprised we never saw the 3.7L PI V6 offered as an option for the Explorer Limited or XLT
