Looks nice, an improvement over the current Explorer in looks. I like the sliding door and a 3,500 lb towing capacity is ok but a bit low.
Ford would need to differentiate this vehicle from the Taurus X and upcoming Flex so towing capacity would do that.
I tried the current Explorer and it isn't a good fit for me.
