More Details on the 2011 Ford Explorer

The new Explorer will share its platform with the Taurus and MKS, but it will offer a turbocharged four-cylinder EcoBoost engine that will get “over 30 mpg” on the highway, our source said. Other sources later told us that in this application reaching such a number is unlikely.

So, basically, we are getting a new Taurus station wagon.

If that is what it will look like I will pass.
That grill is butt ugly.

The head lights intriuge me, i wonder how well they work out on the open road...

its a sad day for the SUV that once was.......and too think people used to take the old explorers offroad because they had straight axles, and a 5.0L....hell they could even tow!...not anymore


one can only hope for a Bronco now for a suitable offroad/trailer towing REAL suv

They are probably LED

 

[Truckin4life]

Yea, but how good are the brights? thats my question.

 

[nobodyspecial]

LEDs can put out insane amounts of light...

 

[Truckin4life]

At short range yes, but how about half mile down the road? or a mile?

 

[nobodyspecial]

That is all dependent on how the light is reflected and projected out of the assembly. The LED headlights I have seen (audi) work amazing on high, and LEDs consume very little power, in comparison.

I dont know why but. I think of Halo when I look at that.
It's kinda cool in some way..

 

[O'Rattlecan]

oh gawd I was hoping this wouldn't come to fruition.... That thing looks like an FJ Crapper.

What is with Detroit making all their concepts look like spaceships?Last I checked,people who took an interest in Sci-Fi were made fun of.
