Adios, Ford Explorer.

"When we were working on the program we asked our current Explorer owners, 'Do you guys need the ability to go off road' and 100% said 'Absolutely, yes," said Jay Ward, a Ford spokesman. "When we asked them, 'How often do you go off road?' 70% said 'Never."

Having gotten the undeniable message, Ford is making the next Explorer a car-based crossover SUV. It will share its engineering with the Ford Taurus sedan.

The new Explorer will be offered with at least two engines, a turbocharged 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine and a non-turbocharged V6. It's not clear, yet, if the more powerful EcoBoost V6 ending will be offered. All versions of the Explorer will have a six-speed automatic transmissions.

I wonder what kind of wood that is to support eleventy billion pounds of that Hummer.

 

[Syrup Beaver]

That's an H1.

BIG difference from an H2 or H3.

edit - but it looks like that one's never seen dirt either

I wanted one of those soooooooo bad when I was a teenager, and then the H2 came out and sullied the whole brand.

HMMWV > Hummer

Where did Hummer even come from? We always called them "Humm-Vee's" way back when.

 

[my little brony]

hummer's are just civilian version of the hmmwv. it's the name of the brand, hum-vee is just more stupid military pronunciation of retarded acronyms

they're essentially the same exact vehicle, almost all mechanical components the same. different is that hmmwvs don't have keys but they do get turrets for 50 cals or mk 19s

Shouldn't it be pronounced Hum-Weave?

HMMWV > Hummer

Yes, because we can all go out and buy a real one.

Those original hummers were dogshit. Offroad vehicles shouldn't have gear type LSDs. That's just retarded.
