Introduction to the 2013 Ford Explorer in Phoenix

America's seminal SUV, the Ford Explorer, sparked a love affair for large utility-based vehicles in the early '90s, and it seemed like just about everyone was driving one. Drivers from coast to coast loved the Explorer for its family and cargo hauling capacity, commanding cockpit view and new-wave styling. Fuel was inexpensive and no one gave a second thought to filling up the tank once a week. Fast forward 20 years: Gas prices are at an all-time high and the auto market is flooded with SUVs of all shapes and sizes. In light of the turning tide, Ford did what any competent automaker would do - start over. New style, new size, new tech, best-in-class fuel economy - a completely new Explorer for a whole new generation of drivers. Ford Explorer reviews are hotter than ever, and people are starting to remember why the Explorer is the once and future king of SUVs.
