Assimilator Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) A V6 SUV kicking the shit out of a V8 sedan tells you everything you need to know about how Ford sees the future and why it's making those decisions.

SoonerLS Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Maybe it's got cop tires and cop suspension, but does it run fine on regular gas? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twintornados Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) “We’re transitioning from Dodge Chargers to Ford Explorers due to the increased level of comfort they provide to our officers and the ease of exiting the vehicle quickly,” Chief Jerry Dyer of Fresno, California, told the Detroit Free Press when reached at the Major Cities Chiefs Association convention in Orlando, Florida. . That is until FCA begins their typical product "fire sale" to bump up sales.... Edited October 4, 2018 by twintornados 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcartwright99 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Probably won't be any faster. True...however, it would give you an easy and cheap opportunity to supercharge using the coyote. That would be insanely fast 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assimilator Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Remember this SUV also out-handles all of the sedans tested. Ford has so much be proud of with this vehicle. I hope it really gets noticed. Edited October 4, 2018 by Assimilator 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazerdude20 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 . That is until FCA begins their typical product "fire sale" to bump up sales.... FCA has a special edition police rated Durango package. Supposedly its headed towards permanent production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I dont think we will see another sedan from Ford, unless the market changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assimilator Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) CD6 was cancelled for Mustang and Continental, CD6 actually has some of the current Mustang (and CD4) architecture in it. New Mustang is based on a revision which gets some of the new CD6 systems (or modules). Ford's "common architectures" is more loosely defined than I assumed. Absolutely nobody I have found is aware of any new Lincoln sedans so I'm not sure what's going on there until Lincoln tells us or prototypes start happening.

So why do we keep hearing about 2 Lincoln sedans coming?. Ford won't a Lincoln unless it's can be shared with a Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assimilator Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 So why do we keep hearing about 2 Lincoln sedans coming?. Ford won't a Lincoln unless it's can be shared with a Ford. I'm not hearing that anyway. I won't say they aren't coming at this point, Lincoln is the only one with secrets right now, Ford is an open book.

Ron W. Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 My first thought when I saw 150mph Explorer was holy shit that's fast. My second thought was rollover if it has to manuver quickly, top heavy ? I rolled my 66 E100 ...... no fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoldwizard Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 According to Autoblog, they are using the 3.0L V6 EcoBoost. That has to be less horses than the current 3.5L so is this new RWD CD6 lighter ? Autoblog also said there would be a hybrid version for use "around town".

The current 3.5LEB in the Explorer is only 365/350. And it has to be torque managed at lower rpm. The 3.0LEB is 400/400 at least and with CD6 there should be little to no need for torque management. I assume the 10 speed auto is also a significant enhancement. The RWD 3.5LEB is 365/420 on regular fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
