Well here’s Ford’s luxury version of the 2020 Explorer. More than 335 kw and 810 Nm. That’s significantly more torque than a Land Cruiser 200 V8 diesel. More torque than a Titan 5.0 V8 diesel, and way more power. Hopefully the Explorer will get the same hybrid option. It’s making me look forward to seeing be F150 hybrid, which could go global. Will the Lincoln brand go global?

Looks good.
Ford need to spend some serious $$ on Lincoln in the way Toyota did with Lexus. There is a big market for premium cars and Ford have a big gap left behind after selling Jag/Volvo (which are selling quite well now). There is a lot of money to be made in this market.

Really like the Aviator, inside and out. Lovely detailing, prefer this to Rangey tbh. A bit of Velar in the concept sketches...
At 2mins into vid the chief engineer points out the advantages of going back to RWD architecture, very good points. He also lists competitors as that Q7 kind of area, I can see it in Oz in that ball park. Also glimpsed the AWD selection, like the RR you can option terrain modes for the AWD. Also, the choice Ford always does well - do you want captain's chairs in 2nd row or a bench? Nice.
