I’d love to see that as well. I’ve also heard the explorer is supposed to use some aluminum and should drop a few lbs.
If that were the case I don't think they will be using that engine configuration on the Explorer (Explorer ST? LOL it sounds funny to even think about it :lol: ).... Maybe that "Explorer ST" will be using the "Expedition Limited engine configuration", let's say 3.5 Ecoboost with 400HP (Think on the Edge ST, it barely has more power than the Edge 2.7, just 20 ponies extra) so I will think that the Explorer would be in the 375HP-400HP range using the Expedition engine.
Being realistic, Ford won’t use an Engine as powerful or even more powerful than the Raptor in an Explorer, maybe IF the last name were RS instead of ST I would see it possible.
That's exactly what I was thinking was skip the Explorer ST, they already have the sport and ST sounds terrible. Do an Explorer RS with the raptor engine and make it a direct competitor to the durango. I see explorer sports all day I have no doubt they could sell an RS version easy.
Really? The current explorer has been such a hit for them I don't see them abandoning the current layout already.
There’ll still be available 4wd/AWD. I don’t think the layout plays a big roll for why people buy it. Also, it may have to do with the rumor that they will also be offering a hybrid.
It shares the platform with the Taurus. D car platform is going away so it was time to shift to the CD6, which is rear and awd base.
