Click above to watch Autoblog Short Cuts: 2011 Ford Explorer demonstrates Terrain Management
Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford) has set up a display to show off the multiple Terrain Management modes on the 2011 Explorer (http://www.autoblog.com/model/explorer) at this year's Chicago Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/chicago-auto-show). As you may recall, the tech keeps an eye on a laundry list of parameters, including specs like engine speed, throttle position, transmission shift patterns and the stability and traction control systems.
Visitors can ride shotgun over a number of surfaces, including a seesaw that transitions from a steep, slippery incline into a similarly aggressive descent and a deep sand section. The multiple surfaces are designed to flex the Explorer's all-terrain muscles, at least in the climate-controlled comfort of McCormick place.
Our video ace Drew Phillips cooked up a quick video of the ride along for your viewing pleasure. The clip after the jump includes all of the gravity-defying action of the Explorer all-terrain system when viewed from both the cabin and from the safety of the show floor. Follow the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/10/video-2011-ford-explorer-plays-on-seesaw-at-chicago-auto-show/#continued) to check out the video for yourself.Continue reading Video: 2011 Ford Explorer plays on seesaw at Chicago Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/10/video-2011-ford-explorer-plays-on-seesaw-at-chicago-auto-show/)
