Will the Lincoln Aviator/Ford Explorer Platform Spawn an Array of Sporty Mustang Crossovers?
Last year, the Lincoln Aviator concept took the New York Auto Show by storm — not just because of its miniature-Navigator styling and plug-in hybrid powertrain, but also because Ford revealed the production version would be based on a new rear-wheel-drive-based chassis. Any carmaker worth its profit margins these days knows to squeeze as many variants from a new vehicular skeleton as possible; as such, it wasn't surprising when Ford Motor Company revealed the same bones would also underpin the all-new 2020 Ford Explorer.
Still, this is a bit more of a surprise: A new report claims that same platform will soon spawn sporty SUVs that will effectively be Ford Mustang crossovers.
