Although production is expected to begin later this year, Ford is not sure whether Explorer will be sold in 2011 or 2012 model.

This loss will more than offset any gains earned a new vehicle with better fuel. If you absolutely must part with their SUV now, sell it on your own on the individual. If time does not exist, wait. The prices will probably jump, if only modestly.

...
