2013 Explorer Sport

http://www.autoblog.com/2012/03/26/f...nted-explorer/

Quote:

The redesigned Ford Explorer is already selling quite well, and it looks like the three-row crossover is about to add another variant to boost the bottom line a little more. Ford posted on its Facebook page a 26-second video that teases what looks to be a high-performance version of the Explorer.

Usually Zoran grabs these types of posts and throws them up on TMS, but he must be busy as of late because I haven't seen him around as much. So . . .

Maybe something like a cross between the SHO and Edge Sport? Sounds interesting.

A high performance crossover? Hopefully it will have a Freestyle/Magnum appeal.

Anyone know why they dropped the power output to 350? It looks sharp! My local dealership is having a test drive event at a nearby school for fund raising and said they will have an Explorer Sport there. Hopefully I will get to drive it!

Just needs a CAI, full exhaust, and a tune to hit over 400hp. Sweet!

NICE.....love my wifes edge sport, this follows similar cues....wish they would have added some additional hp considering the weight, and I'm not a fan of the writing on the front hood like that to copy range rover....and the side mirrors don't need to remind me either I have an explorer every time I walk towards it...aside from that, it's hitting the mark Very well !!!!
