    What Is Ford Teasing In This Video?

    March 26, 2012

    Today, Ford posted a twenty-six second video on their Explorer Facebook page. The video seems to be teasing a high-performance variant of the Explorer.

    The video shows a mesh grille, an exhaust that growls, and what looks like body-color wheels. We're guessing a EcoBoost 3.5-liter V6 with 350 or so horsepower will lie under the hood.

    The good news is we won't have to wait long to see what Ford is teasing us. Ford says the CUV will be officially unveiled on the Ford Explorer Facebook page on March 28. We'll be watching.

    • This should sell pretty well.  Even a Rav4 can hit $50k now, a well equipped Bronco Sport is over $40k.  So $50k for one of these seems like a pretty good deal.
    • Fun people know how to laugh at themselves. Italians are funny people, they are great to poke fun at, and they can usually laugh at themselves. I forgot how funny this scene was.  This whole movie was one of those timeless gems from happier times.  
    • Great.  At 65 under perfect conditions, I could see it getting 31 or 32.  For me, it's a game I sometimes entertain myself with.  I'm guessing this is at least 300 horsepower worth of V6. I'm still trying to figure out how mid-2000s Impala and Monte Carlos with 3.4 and 3.5 V6s easily got their 33 and 34 mpg ... and they did.
    • This is going to be Rivian's killer app. A CR-V sized crossover with better than CR-V sized interior room. Enough range to combat range anxiety, decent towing capacity for its size, and fast acceleration. All for the roughly the same price as an X3 or GLC. It's what will save Rivian. 
    • There are certainly some "in the area", but I really don't know where one is.  It's really just a wait and see for Scout, for me. As much as I'd love one, this feels like it may be the biggest hurdle to get over. Price is pretty cut and dry, can I afford it or not? Where or how will I get it serviced, because it isn't set in stone right now, is an issue.  I also don't know which I'd get, the SUV or truck? My first instinct says the SUV, but I'd love the bed of a truck. I only need two rows of seats so even if the SUV offered a 3rd row(I haven't looked into or remember if it does or not), I'd leave it flat more likely anyway.  Okay, well I googlemaped Pep Boys and they are NOT in the STL area. I feel like they used to be, because I remember the commercials, but they certainly are not anymore.
