2000 Ford Explorer Overview

Introduction

The Ford Explorer is easily the best-selling sport-utility in America.Nearly one of every six sport-utilities sold today is a Ford Explorer.Nearly 2.8 million SUVs were sold in 1998 and some 425,000 of them were Ford Explorers.About 430,000 Explorers were sold in 1999.The Explorer outsold its nearest competitor nearly two-to-one.

What's the significance of all these numbers?
