2011 Toyota Highlander Hybrid gets CR best in class award, Explorer flops.

I know a FWD version wasn't available when I reviewed the new Explorer several months ago......I asked the Ford people about that. And a 2.0, if they adapt it (and I'll take your word that it's coming), seems pretty small for that size vehicle, even with turbo boost. Other manufacturers, like VW, Audi, Kia, and GM, use 2.0T's for small-to-medium-sided cars, not SUVs with the weight of an Explorer.
