November 25th, 2010

Latest auto reviews

Ford Explorer 2011 edition is primarily based on the Taurus sedan, and looks similar to the Ford Escape pick-up too.

It competes with the likes of Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Chevrolet Traverse.To cope up with the off-road challenges, the new Ford Explorer is equipped with 4 wheel drive-train.

Fuel economy of the vehicle is quite decent, and it has been improved with the smaller V-6, as well as entry level turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

Towing capacity has however reduced, in comparison to the previous versions, but it looks trendier, and is lighter too.
Three row seats and front wheel drive are standard across the board, while all-wheel drive system is optional, and so is the Terrain Management System.

Let’s take a look at some cool Ford Explorer 2011 pictures.

Overview of Ford Explorer

September 17th, 2010

Nanya

Company introduced the Ford Explorer for the first time during 1991, and it became the best-selling SUV in America within no time.

Reasons for Popularity

There were many reasons for its popularity, such as superb performance, and excellent towing capabilities. The first generation Explorer was available in two different models and produced only as a 2-door vehicle. Moreover, another important factor was its size. It was highly used for family traveling and used as a pickup truck too.

However, it did not show more kinship with the small sized Ranger pickup of Ford. It was available as a medium sized SUV, but not in compact size.

The ultimate reason for the success of Ford Explorer was relatively weak competition in the automobile market. At that time, some of its mainstream competitors were Isuzu Vehicross, Rodeo, Trooper, Toyota 4Runner, Mitsubishi Montero, Nissan Pathfinder, and Jeep Cherokee. It scored its rivals in most of the aspects, but its biggest downside was its congested interior space.

Here are some exciting Ford Explorer pictures.
