2002 FORD EXPLORER

Sport utility vehicles are more and more popular. According to statistics, in 2000, the compact utes recorded a 39% raise in sales while the luxury utes were up by 16%. The mid-sizers, on the other hand, were down by 15,6%. Last year, Ford unveiled its Escape, a compact ute that took a fair share of that growing market. That type of vehicle fills a need, but does not truly fit the real SVU purpose. This year, Ford aims at the mid size segment. The 2002 Ford Explorer is a fine new generation ute and, moreover, is built over a real truck chassis.
