One thing I want to bring up about the new Explorer (something I didn't see in the CL threads here, and I'll also mention it in my revew), is that the versatile Explorer Sport-Trac, with the small truck-bed and folding bed-extender in back, will no longer be offered due to declining sales. A shame. A friend of mine ended up buying one (at his wife's insistance) and they both love it. I've driven it myself, several times, when I helped them move.
