I know they put that engine in their full size trucks and hear it does a nice job vs the bigger V8's. In the smaller Explorer, it might be a hoot. I believe it's the same engine as the Taurus SHO.

Anyone have any experience with the new turbo-charged Fords?

It's only rated to tow 5k#s, that's pretty marginal

Jeep Grand Cherokee goes to ~7.2K#
VW Touareg goes to 7.7k#
etc
