Are all Explorers imported?
2 Answers
All Explorers are imported from overseas. Here is some information about the Explorer: 1. The Explorer is an imported SUV model, classified as a mid-to-large-size SUV, and comes standard with an on-demand four-wheel-drive system. 2. The Explorer is equipped with two engine options: a 2.3-liter turbocharged engine and a 3.5-liter turbocharged engine. 3. The Explorer features an attractive exterior design and offers spacious interior room. Its dimensions are 5064 mm in length, 2005 mm in width, 1798 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2860 mm.
I remember many Explorers were imported in the early years, like when they were first introduced from abroad in the 1990s, most were shipped from the U.S. or other places. But later, Ford localized production to reduce costs and expand the market, such as manufacturing domestically in the U.S., making the price more affordable and quality more stable. From my observation, most Explorers on the market now are locally manufactured versions, unless in countries without Ford factories where imports might still be available. When buying this car, consider after-sales convenience—locally produced models have easier access to repair parts, while imported versions require customs clearance, which can be quite a hassle. Car enthusiasts often say this transition was quite successful, significantly boosting sales and improving safety standards.
