Alas, I'm not sure it is true any longer. The last "real" Explorer was the 2010 model. Starting in 2011, the Explorer is simply a Taurus in wolf's clothing. It has a unibody contruction, rather than body on frame, and partly as a result of that, WRONG STATEMENT - SEE NEXT POST - BILL the tow rating is half what is was. And the optional big engine is now what the standard small engine used to be.

On the other hand, it might be a good time to pick up a "leftover" 2010 - I'm considering it.
