2011 Ford Explorer coming to McRee Ford this winter

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dickinson, Texas, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) October 29, 2010 -- McRee Ford of Dickinson, TX will soon begin taking deliveries of the new 2011 Ford Explorer. As the fourth generation of the line, the new Explorer has undergone marked changes that make it even better suited to its purpose as Ford's mainstream family SUV.

The 2011 Explorer is new down to the core, sitting on a wholly different platform underneath, and now built with unibody construction methods. The result is a lighter body, greater agility, and a more car-like driving feel. The Explorer also inherits a fresh pair of engines -- a 3.5-liter V6 whose 290 horsepower can outaccelerate any Explorer from years past, and a turbocharged 4-cylinder that's expected to make the Explorer the most fuel-efficient SUV in its class. The switch from rear- to front-wheel-drive aids efficiency and traction alike, while the optional new all-wheel-drive system employs a user-friendly Terrain Management system, giving the choice of four intuitive settings (Normal, Sand, Mud, Snow) intended to relieve the driver of distractions.

An enlarged body endows all passengers with more space in all three rows, complemented by a jazzed-up dashboard with a standard LCD screen. The Explorer also has a considerable list of safety features. In addition to AdvanceTrac and Roll Stability Control, there's a Curve Control system that applies the brakes when a driver takes a corner too fast, and an optional Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with cross-traffic alert to make backing up more secure. Should the worst occur, the Explorer also has an SOS Post-Crash Alert system, curtain side airbags, a child-sensing front airbag, and inflatable rear seatbelts that help distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the body.

The 2011 Explorer is expected to arrive at McRee Ford this December.
