    Eww..... it looks too much like a Range Rover!

    I'm telling you, lots of minivan offerings from Japan can replace this ugly thing. They look very cool and can carry the people.

    Looks like it's made from wood.

    Which part of it is suppose to flex anyway?

    Don't fall for Ford's tricks! Maybe it looks like wood, but if you look closer it's actually styled plastic.

    The chassis is made of rubber.

    Talking about Explorers, what was the problem behind the massive rollovers that happened in the mid 90's? Was it the engineering behind the chassis or the tire supplier's fault?

    Ford wanted massive beefy tyres from Firestone, but the tyres couldn't handle the heat created by motorway driving, the just burst, I don't think the chassis helped much either.

    that makes it the opposite of a phaeton chassis- (used to be) torsionally the stiffest chassis.

    yes, it does look like a range rover with a chevy suburban's rear. with a low height like that it looks like a pimp-mobile.

    I rather like it. I'm obviously not in the market for such a car, but if I were I'd seriously consider this one. I think I'd prefer it with sliding doors, but those are too minivan for Ford, apparently. I also don't much like the name.
