Yes i know about fuel prices, but that isn't going to force every family in to a Hyundai, this looks like a worthy replacement for the Explorer (as fuel consumption between the two was never that much anyway) much more room, luxuriousness, towing ability etc Ford need a vehicle that will do well there,
The new rumor, is that it will be also coming out with the PAG 3.6L V8 diesel later on, so fuel economy will actually be pretty good with that motor. (my guess would be 10-12L per 100km as it weighs close to the Discovery 3) Also has a 6 speed auto, IRS etc. the 3.6L diesel puts out 200kw/650Nm http://www.fordvehicles.com/futureve...pedition/home/ Bring it on with the PAG V8 diesel! |
