Default Explorer

Hi all, was recently in Manila (Philippines) and saw a lot of new Explorers on the road, must say they look awesome. Pity we can't have them here. Sorry no photos.

Same here, i was there about 2 weeks ago.

Had a ride in the previous model Everest too, seemed a bit agricultural to me.

The new Explorers do look good though.

Manila traffic, especially near the Airport terminals, is terrible.

I was in the US earlier this year, and the Explorer didn't stand out in any way to me. It's old hat already - been out for 5 years or so. A new majorly overhauled model is on the way for the 2016 model year anyway.

Not a fan either, while the Everest isn't as futuristic looking as the Explorer, I'd take one any day
