It’s not a seasoned car tho. The new Explorer is a unibody RWD crossover. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t believe ford has EVER made a SUV like that before. At least not in the USA.Ford CEO must be a troll I suppose.
“he blamed the drop primarily on the flubbed launch of the new Ford Explorer SUV at its factory in Chicago. New Explorers came off the assembly line with multiple problems and had to be shipped to a Detroit-area factory for repairs.”

I don’t think it’s unreasanable to wonder about quality of a new product off a new line when a seasoned product off a new line had this level of problems. That’s all. i have a 69 bronco and an 18 explorer and I like them but that doesn’t mean I lay 60 grand down no questioned asked and asking questions doesnt make someone a jeep troll. But if you do happen to be a ford fan boy I have a 78 pinto I’m looking to sell.
and before the change over from the old generation to current, they were worried about down time. How long would the change take? I think the money pushers rushed the change over to try to make a certain goal
