Ford has put in conscious efforts to reduce the bulk on the next-generation Explorer and the results are visible in these latest spy images. Thanks to a gush of wind that took the camouflage off the test model for otherwise, most design traits of the next-generation Explorer will have remained a mystery.



The snappier looking Explorer features a bold grille, projector-beam headlights, and sculpted doors. The next-gen model is riding on the same platform as the redesigned Taurus and it is based on the Explorer America Concept which was showcased at the 2008 North American International Auto Show. The probable engine options for the upcoming Explorer will include a 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6 engine that can render 355 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. More details on the Explorer will be available when it is unveiled at the New York Auto Show next week. [via WCF]
