2011 Ford Explorer Live Debut in Southern California - Click above for high-res image gallery
It's been quite a day for the new 2011 Ford Explorer (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/explorer). After teasing (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/02/video-ford-shows-off-2011-explorer-air-leak-and-panel-gap-tests/), more teasing (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/13/2011-ford-explorer-teasers-continue-with-headlight-peek/), and even more teasing (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/16/ford-explorer-teasers-keep-coming-model-to-debut-july-26-in-nyc/), Ford (http://autoblog.com/make/ford) finally unveiled what it thinks will "reinvent the SUV for the 21st century." At 12:01 EST this morning, we presented an in-depth look at the new Explorer (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/26/2011-ford-explorer-unveiled-tries-crossing-over-on-road-to-redemption/), providing details on the new exterior and interior as well as some of the safety features, and at noon we went over the new powertrain options (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/26/2011-ford-explorer-puts-four-cylinder-ecoboost-engine-above-v6/), including the 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline-4 (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/19/2011-ford-explorer-with-ecoboost-2-0-liter-delivers-30-better-f/) that will deliver 30 percent better fuel efficiency than the previous V6 model. Ford has even put up a configurator for the 2011 Explorer (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/26/2011-ford-explorer-configurator-already-up-and-running-pricing/), allowing you to build your own.

We were in attendance on both ends of the coasts to cover the unveilings, each of which had an entirely different feel. The Discovery Channel's Mike Rowe was on hand with CEO Alan Mulally to make the introductions in the Big Apple, while Ford's President of the Americas Mark Fields did the honors amidst huge sand sculptures alongside the famous boardwalk in Venice Beach. You can see photos from both unveilings in the galleries below.
