The Ford Explorer has been on the U.S. market for over 24 years, and after two decades of success, we're proud to announce that Ford recently sold their 7-millionth model in North America! The news comes just months before America's favorite SUV celebrates its 25th anniversary. A brand-new 2016 model is also scheduled to go on sale during its quarter-century birthday year, landing in dealerships this summer.
When the Ford Explorer debuted in 1990, it altered the automotive industry. At the time, families had become fixated with minivans and the Explorer revealed itself as a new option. Its ability to accommodate families and provide exceptional capability that rivaled the minivans' made it a hit. To this day, it remains a popular SUV and it's now available in over 100 global markets.
"Explorer changed the way the world thought about the family hauler - adventure became something you could put in your driveway," said Craig Patterson, Ford Explorer marketing manager. "Explorer helped the family vehicle become an emotional purchase rather than a necessity. It's no surprise it's been the best-selling sport utility vehicle for a quarter century."
Due to demand and top-notch sales, Ford plans to export 56,000 Explorers this year. If you're interested in purchasing a 2015 Ford Explorer in Houston, drop by Joe Myers Ford to view our extensive selection.
