100,000 Strong for Ford Explorer
It’s the opinion of many auto critics that the 2011 Ford Explorer is a massive improvement over previous generations. With hybrid options, tons of tech gadgets offered standard, and more safety features than a military artillery tank, Explorer will undoubtedly continue to top small truck sales in North America.
Ford has marked a special occasion in the life of Explorer; the vehicle just sold its 100,000th unit this year!
According to the auto maker, those numbers are up 290% over 2010 totals. This makes Explorer the fastest-growing mid-size utility vehicle in the country. Explorer also hit this mark back in 2007.
Explorer was named 2011 North American Truck Of The Year, though the vehicle has seen a moderate amount of complaints, mostly due to its lacking and faulty MyFordTouch infotainment system. But that hasn’t seemed to stop Ford fans from driving one off dealership lots.
2012′s Explorer promises to attract just as much attention, if not more! Upcoming models will include a 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, and Ford is claiming their sales figures will jump 15%, thanks to this environmentally friendly powerplant.
