Hi everyone... I am interested in the new 2011 Explorer that is coming out soon. Looks great, but am concerned about 1st edition issues that are not typically ironed out until the 2nd or 3rd year models. Anyone care to share pros/ cons of the new Explorer?

 

I like the look so i speced one out on the ford site and it came to 52 grand plus. Thanks but no thanks. For that kind of dough i would as soon buy an expy with a V8 and a frame LOL.

 

52? thats high! i was thinking maybe low 40's loaded up... 52 and Im probably looking at an Expedition... I havent spec'ed the 11's yet but you could get a '10 Limited Expedition for ~50...

 

I just built and priced one on Ford.com and will ALL options and top of the line Limited Edition, It came out to 50,710. But then I priced out how I would get it without all those fancy options for 30,995.
I am seriously thinking about buying one in 2012, not because I think the 2011s will have bugs to work out, but I dont think I could get a great deal on the brand new models at a dealer.
