Where did you get that it's made in Canada? It's European designed and produced, and is not the Explorer the US will get in 2025, which will be made in Canada.
Sorry, misread your post. They should have put it in the manual!
This is a European VW-based platform that will not be available in the US. Large SUVs don’t sell in Europe. Expect the future US version to be more akin to the ICE Explorer.Looking at the press photos it looks smaller than the ICE explorer by about a height of 6" or so, and at least a foot in length. I'm disappointed, I was really hoping for the full size SUV treatment so my 3 kids aren't complaining about sitting in the same row together.
It looks comparable to the mach-e in size and capacity so I'm not seeing a value here over the MME, unless it comes in at 35k USD ...
Also, that light blue color makes this thing look too soft and pillowy, like it's for some lily-ass sissy boys secure in their masculinity or something crazy. Needs to go with a dark color to give it some weight and compensation.
I'm not surprised they ditched the knob on screen but I don't like the decision. I'll bet Ford has collected enough data from all of us to prove that we are using the volume rocker on the steering wheel much more than the knob, or *shudder* voice commands...
And lastly, it's a ballsy move on Ford's marketing team, rendering chargers in the middle of fucking nowhere when their dealers aren't rushing to put chargers in anytime soon. Bravo.
Back to the car. Looks meh. 5/10.
Shouldn't here, either!
