RWD Explorer Oversteer

It's a dumb name. Thoughts on the new variant?

If I had not already bought my '20, I would be on this in a second. I live in TN and truly have no need for AWD. A 2-300 lb weight savings on the front-end would be fine. I would probably think about a LSD rear diff though. Anyone with access to a Ford parts catalog determine whether there is a LSD variant available?

The only reason I'm sticking with my plan to buy an AWD over the RWD is wet/slick boat ramps. I don't want to be that guy getting laughed at as I spin my tires up the hill.

Nice to see Ford offering the option. I may have gone this route;why not have an Explorer that can do burnouts! Although, I have Pirelli Scorpions, so I'm sure after a tune and more, 4 wheel burnouts aren't out of the question!
