2011 Explorer

It's too bad, because the Sport Trac is just about the perfect truck for most suburban folks, myself included. It tows/hauls just about anything that I need, and I can still transport my family comfortably. Also, it fits quite nicely in my garage. I love the F150 (especially the King Ranch edition), but it's just too damn big for my garage.

I agree. The F-150 is nice but I just don't need a truck that size or want a truck that size.



Having gone from an Expedition to a RAV4 for our family car the new Explorer makes perfect sense. I loved our Expedition but it sure is nice to drive something that doesn't handle like a boat, is easy to park and maneuver and gets really good gas mileage.

Sorry to hear that it won't be coming. FabHub just bought an F-250 and I don't want anything to do with an F-150. So I guess they are cutting into their own FoMoCo sales when I have to replace the ST. I want something that a teenager wouldn't normally drive - Ranger, that is too small for a soccer mom - Explorer, and that FabHub can't put the cattle racks in - F-150/250. I need 4x4 and like the road height. Oh well. Good thing I only have 171K, leaves time for them to come up with another model that fits my world. :sad:

I wonder if U-Haul will exclude this new model from towing trailers.

It has an Explorer nameplate. Of course, U-Haul is gonna forbid its shops rent trailers to them! :banghead:

Yup, was going to trade my '02 ST in '09 but they lowered the ride and put under bed storage in(???!!!). Oh, well, guess I'll stick with my '02; it's only got 98k. This vehicle is perfect for my lifestyle and my height. Hope Ford rethinks their position.
