If it is...and it might not be, a Ford product. I have 2 theories.

1. It could be a redesigned Everest. To replace the current Explorer. Seeing as the Explorer's platform is being killed. Ford is supposedly moving Focus and Fiesta production to Mexico, so they can use their Wayne plant to produce a new Ranger/F-100 and a bof suv. But it seems a little early as I don't believe that they plant is anywhere near tooled for that.

2. It could be a Explorer replacement and a new Lincoln Aviator built on the new D6 platform. Early versions of this new F/A/RWD platform should be popping up very soon.

Come to think of it...I suppose it could be a mix of both theories. A D6 suv built somewhere else for now to get the vehicle tested and production started before moving into the Wayne plant. That's all of course assuming it's even a F-LincMoCo product.
