2019 Ford Explorer - Spied on the public road in Dearborn, Michigan!

Ford Explorer had a really strange path. It had debuted in 1990 and reached the peak ten years later with almost 450,000 units sold in 2000. The sales were growing rapidly until that year when it sharply declined, reaching 52,000 units in 2009. There are many factors to blame: financial crisis, competitors but also some inner factors. Explorer was neglected for some time which led to this stumble. However, it has finally managed to get back on track. The American automaker has high expectations from the 2019 Ford Explorer. This model hasn’t been released yet but there are already some speculations about new trim level. It is hard to tell what rumors can come true but everything is still on the table.

I think the overall design may depend on what Ford is doing with the anticipated next-gen Expedition.

Also, will Ford axe the Flex? - which btw is a great stand-in for the lack of a minivan in the lineup. Low-riding, ample headroom, 7-seater w/a 365hp/360trq V6. If they gave it sliding rear doors & updated the styling, I'd seriously consider buying it.

The Flex will be axed because the only place it sells well is in California. Many dealers outside the state simply don't stock it. It is my understanding from the Ford guys that the Explorer is growing slightly--not massively--and will replace the current Explorer and Flex simultaneously.

Ford should offer this camo package as an option!
