That looks really nice. Such a shame it's not coming here. They could create a bit of momentum with it, US designed RWD architecture like a certain 2 door US muscle car worldwide hit...

"There’s no plan for a RHD Explorer to join the new Endura, Everest, Escape and EcoSport in Australian showrooms".



Wow, that’s an amazing looking machine, it’d be a deal breaker if it could come here.

The whole car very much reminds me of the LR Discovery....which makes them both somewhat ugly.

I've had a look at the new Expedition on the Ford US site, it looks amazing (and is massive). If you get the chance, have a look at the design videos on this gallery link, pretty smart use of space (like a Territory), good tech and good use of light:

https://www.ford.com/suvs/expedition/gallery/

I cannot help thinking that if Ford could market the F series here, the US SUVs all the way up to full size; then they would have a massive point of difference and appeal in our market. Look how well Detroit Iron has worked for the Mustang - very different and American!

At 5.04m long and between 1975(rwd) to 2148(awd) Kg for base versions that's not bad.
