[QUOTE="mc01svt, post: 16338061, member: 32337"] I can see replacing the NA v6 in the mustang with the 2.3L ecoboost but the explorer is 4,500lbs curb weight. Thats alot of truck to move around for a boosted 4 banger. I don't understand their powertrain strategy at all. The base f-150 XL reg cab still offers the 3.3L v6 as the base engine option. This would have been a cheaper engine option since it would combine the volume of fleet f150s and explorers. Both applications have similar curb weights and both are rwd. The explorer ST seems to be a fun choice but for the money they're asking you may as well buy the lincoln aviator which is 3x nicer and has the same powertrain. So the engine choices and pricing dont make sense from either stand point. I do love they went back to a true RWD format for explorer. What i don't like is the pricing for all trim levels is now in the stratosphere. Lots of working class families wont be able to afford explorer anymore. [/QUOTE]
