Explorers discontinued in Uk & Ireland

Aug 18, 2004 5 Replies

Hi there,


I have been told that the explorer is no longer available in Ireland.



Does anyone know have they totally discontinued producing explorers in Right hand drive ??

Yes, since Ford bought Land Rover they could not see themselve competing with two similar products in the same market. Thus the UK no longer gets Explorers. AFAIK there is no other market that would make it worthwhile for Ford to produce right hand drive. Perhaps Australia?

Correct,

Explorer models XLT 4WD and Limited 4WD still available in Australia as Right Hand Drive.

No other models available. ie. AWD, EB, NBX or XLS

They still sell right hand drive Explorers in Australia.

They also sell a completely different SUV in Australia - the Territory. I am not sure what it is based on. Looks nice though.

This looks nice. Did you see the hill descent feature. Hit a button and it will keep you at a set speed going down a hill. If you want to change the speed use the cruise buttons.

Australia and Japan. Unfortunately no more explorers all over Europe , not only beacuse FORD has Bought land Rover , due also to hard competition in SUV in Europe , and no Diesel Engine available on explorers.
