Heck, you got off cheap! Try adding the moonroof to a 200A XLT.
HRG
Wow.....I couldn't figure out the numbers, so I went back and looked....you can add the comfort package to the 200A but not the 202A without the sunroof and upgraded wheels......I don't get it.......itll certainly cut down on the combinations though.

I completely understand the need to simplify the order combinations, but some of the ones on the Explorer just seem weird. I priced an XLT and to add the $715 Comfort Group, it costs $3700 because you have to add 20 inch wheels and a sunroof......maybe it's just me!

A CD6 Edge is coming but it will be FWD, not RWD.
CD6 has 2 variants:
1. CD6R - Explorer and Aviator for MY2020
2. CD6F - Next Edge and Nautilus for MY2023
Interesting! So I guess it has as much to do with which engine/trans combinations they intend to use (certain engines will only be transverse from now on), as the size of the vehicle?

I think the Explorer ST's biggest downfall is going to be just it's sheer size. This is where a RWD CD6 Edge makes sense.
Is a CD6 Edge what's coming?

Man...I'm slightly surprised at the Pricing-No Hybrid for the XLT and just for a few options the XLT is just as expensive as last years ST model starting price.
Seems a bit steep...I don't think it will happen, but it's starting to make more sense to put the next Edge and Nautilus on this platform. I'm thinking the prices going up this much is to pay for the new platform.

Build & Price is up for the 2020 Explorer

Looks like RAM pickups sold 39,950 in February......outsold Chevy!

I saw a chart on FIN that showed the Escape with PHEV and 4x4.
Sorry.....didn't have my readers on....it's FHEV and 4x4.

That's a lot of build variation on Escape... I thought Ford was trying to cut that down?
The lack of ST is probably temporary... give Lincoln some time to move Corsair up market and bank some sales. Can't imagine why Ford wouldn't put the 2.3 EB in Escape ST since it will be in Corsair. Just like the lack of PHEV AWD in Escape... they want to give Lincoln some exclusive options, at least for some period of time.

Awesome Truck! Can't wait to hear more as you get some time in it!

In the current model, Platinum gets the Sport's powertrain. I don't think that happens with the new Platinum/ST, though.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere the Platinum gets a slightly de-tuned 3.0 EB form the ST.

words of advice....buy an Oil Catch can...I installed one in the 1.6 of my ST...one of the issues with the DI engines is oil in the intake, after a while can build up...the can I empty every 3000 or so miles...and the amount, whilst small, isn't insignificant....
Agree..can't believe they haven't upgraded all of the EB engines with PFI by now.

Correct
You can order the console in any xlt, but with column shifter unless it's a sport.......at least that's how it was in '15.

Everything I'm reading says it has a 5 foot bed (same as Ranger).
As for why it is 7" inches longer than the Ranger? The cab looks bigger, it supposedly has class leading rear seat legroom and there's also usable space behind the rear seat as well. Also, the Gladiator has a front bumper that sticks out further than the Ranger.
Looks like the bumpers would make up most of the 7".

Saw the dimensions on another site...….perfect IMO.

Yeah, I like these new ads. So much better than what they've had for years now.
And it seems the quantity of ads has increased a lot!

Thanks for your reply. I am wanting a mid size. I do not care about weight so much though, Or towing ability. I want the utility in a smaller package because just as you stated. The F-series has grown way to big for being practical on a daily commute. I am just over 6'. I have sat in every spot in both cabs (I work at MAP and went to the EE event in Oct.) even when the front seat is set for me in the S-Crew Ranger. I am fully comfortable behind it. To be quite honest, I was underwhelmed when I first seen what we would be building on screen. That was until I really got in it and nit picked it. Maybe, Just maybe you might come away the same as I did.
That is really good to hear.....and I will be looking at them as soon as they hit the showrooms, even though I have a few years before I buy a new truck.

How did it feel when you sat in the new Ranger? Based on your rough size?
Funny! Haven't sat in a Ranger, but I have been in mid size trucks that are slightly larger based on ROTW Ranger dimensions. An F-150 supercab has considerably more room than a super crew mid size.....so in price comparisons that's what I compare......not to mention I'm sure you will get more off the sticker on the 150. I know it's a lifestyle choice also to want a mid size.....and I thought I wanted one. IMO the F-150 has gotten to big and I would like to have something a little smaller.

2019 2WD F150 2.7 335 HP/400 Torque. 20/26/22.
Exactly......and you give up a lot of truck with the Ranger. There isn't a huge savings in price either. My F-150 is a little big for what I want......but the Ranger is way to tight.

interesting decision given the issue with exhaust gases re-entering the cabin of the current Xpl…...
I'm starting to think this has to do with the HVAC system and exhaust coming from the cars ahead.....I get the same thing in my f-150.

Young attention seeking buyers don't typically have enough income to buy a $40K new vehicle. I think this will steal as many Wrangler sales as it does mid-sized truck sales from other mfrs.
Also the Wrangler already costs considerably more than a Ranger......and I'm sure the Gladiator will be even more!

Just seems to me if they really want to hit at Tesla, they should just call it Model E!
