[QUOTE="kevinatfms, post: 16313569, member: 39344"] Im going for all out performance within certain guidelines. The issue with the Explorer is the weight over the Edge especially when thinking parts-bin specials that Ford is known for. If its a clean sheet build you could go hog wild with the 5.2 supercharged v8 and a 10 speed in the Explorer. Since the Edge already had the 3.5L(non EB) we know that the engine will fit within the engine bay. There is already the 2.7 EB available so we know it has some room for a CAC out front and the appropriately sized radiators for a turbocharged drivetrain. The Edges' curb weight is 3900lbs versus the Explorers starting curb weight of 4400lbs gives it a good start in building a performance SUV. A 450hp/510tq Edge would be a total riot and is easily feasible in Ford's current lineup. It would compete directly with the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 which is a MASSIVE seller for Fiat/Chrysler at this time. The Explorer could compete with the Durango(3rd row SUV battle) with the supercharged v8/A10. [/QUOTE]
