A Look at the Evolution of the Ford Explorer

The SUV is easily one of, if not the most popular choice among drivers. The current level of popularity and accessibility of the vehicle class might never have occurred had it not been for the Ford Explorer. SUVs, such as the Ford Bronco, Toyota Land Cruiser, and Chevy Blazer, existed before, but they were often considered ideal for a niche crowd that consisted mainly of off-roaders and those who enjoyed partaking in recreational activities. The Explorer managed to change this perception.

Debuting in the 1991 model year, the Ford Explorer represented a new change for the SUV in that it was geared towards more family-oriented drivers who needed space for storage and seating. Built on the chassis of the Ford Ranger, the Explorer was agile enough to get around town but could perform just as well in an off-roading capacity.

A two-door variation of the SUV, known as the Explorer Sport, remained in production during the 1990s and can be seen as one of the first successful attempts to scale down the size that many SUVs had during this time period yet retain the aspects of practicality and performance that many drivers enjoyed.

As the 2000s began, the SUV boom as we know it today was in full effect. Not only were domestic brands going against Ford's flagship product, but multiple overseas manufacturers as well, including Volkswagen and Audi. The Explorer shifted direction once again, implementing a new design from the ground up, and would be nominated for the prestigious "North American Truck of the Year" award in 2006. The fifth generation of the Explorer began production in 2011, and Ford began to introduce more fuel-efficient powertrains that allowed consumers to enjoy the benefits that the Explorer had always provided while also allowing them better fuel economy.

The past few decades have been a story of innovation, design, and continually adapting to the ever-growing needs of drivers everywhere. This is the excellence of the Ford Explorer, and taking a test drive at DePaula Ford is how to experience it firsthand.
