Ford Explorer 2007 - 90275 Km

History and background

The Ford Explorer was introduced in the early 1990s in response to the growing demand in North America for mid-size off-road vehicles for daily use. The model built on the tradition of the Ford Bronco II, but gained its own positioning as a family-oriented SUV with more interior space and more emphatic road use. In doing so, the Ford Explorer became one of the better-known models in the SUV segment of its time.

In the course of its development, the Ford Explorer changed along with the shift in the market. Whereas the first generations still relied heavily on conventional construction with an emphasis on off-road capability, later generations placed more attention on comfort, ease of use and handling. The fourth generation, to which a 2007 example belongs, followed that trend. During this period, the Ford Explorer was an established name within Ford's lineup, and the model played a role in the further spread of the SUV as a general transportation vehicle.

The Ford Explorer was offered in several markets and enjoyed wide distribution in the United States. The model was long an important benchmark in its segment and came in multiple trims and powertrains. In the process, the Explorer name quickly became a fixture within the Ford lineup and remained in production for several generations, contributing to the model's recognizability.

Characteristics and features

The 2007 Ford Explorer belongs to a generation that emphasized more mature styling and a practical layout. Features of the fourth generation included a revised body structure and an interior configuration that matched the SUV use of the period. Within Ford's model lineup, the Explorer positioned itself between the more compact crossovers and the larger, more traditional off-road vehicles.

A special aspect of the Ford Explorer is that the model's development reflects well the transition from classic off-road vehicle to modern SUV. This makes the Explorer representative of an important phase in American automotive history, in which comfort, space and versatility were given increasing weight. For collectors and fans of American SUV’s, the fourth generation is especially interesting as an example of that transition period.
