ZanatWork Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Hmmm. That answers the very rare question: "what if Ford had supplied the vehicles for Demolition Man?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-dubz Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Maybe this is a dumb question, but how are you supposed to get items that are right behind the bulkhead? In a regular sized van, you can stand inside and walk to them. Are you supposed to crawl inside this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpd80 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 This is what happens when you launch a vehicle and retail buyers ignore it. My understanding is that Ford’s contract with VW means that it must build an agreed number of the EV Explorer and this is a means to that end.

I would hope that any updated version of this vehicle gets a CE1 underpinning....I kinda like the style of it. Making a "cargo van" for urban deliveries in EU countries actually expands its appeal.

blazerdude20 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I'm sure i'll be in the minority but i think there would actually be a market for this in the US. A small city van for deliveries or light contracting work with solid range (300+ miles). This is basically an EV version of the last SWB Transit Connect. Bring it here and i'd order multiple for work day one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
