There May Be A Ford Explorer ST Coming Too: Report
- Thread starter Kensington
- Start date
What does Ford really have to put it in though? A new Explorer is just around the corner, so to me it wouldn't make sense to spend the money to repackage it to the current Explorer.
So if the Lincoln version has more horsepower, electrification, etc. does that mean that I win?
But even Ford hasn't dropped power on any of it's models, even if it got lighter from one generation to another.
Also, the article was hinting at the Explorer going RWD which would makes sense if it's going CD6 which looks to be RWD based; although, the CD6 is rumored to be able to support FWD, RWD, and AWD which would be crazy.
Just give me a 4-door sedan with RWD and an EcoBoost V6 DAMNIT!!
I agree, I wouldn't be putting anything new gen in the current platform. No sense in spending the money on retooling.
So you're backpedaling that the Explorer will use the exact same engine as the Lincoln?
Not at all. I've said from the start, I'll bet the Explorer will get a 3.0L at 400hp.
Not going to play some weird technicality game you come up with, where Lincoln adds 10hp or something and then you weasel your way out of a bet.
Simple as this; Explorer gets 3.0L TT V6 at 400hp.
No, you said in the previous thread that Ford would get Lincoln's exact same 3.0. I'll find the post as you have amnesia.
So if Lincoln implements a hybrid setup, that's not the same engine and still a unique powertrain to Lincoln.
Still waiting for that quote....
Bet lunch at HB's? Loser buys the other a lap dance?
The body is a little over 200 pounds less. There is much more boron steel fir strength and the rails were moved to inside the vehicle to drop the floorpan. The tailgate is hinged from the roof and lower. 3.5 is done
Put two like for likes next to each other, not too good for Ford.
But, there is the Explorer Sport
