Question:

From what I’ve heard, the next generation 4-door will be delayed until early 2001, and it will be badged as a 2002 model.  The current iteration will continue to sell through as a 2001 model.

Response:

I wrote to the BLUEOVALNEWS guy and he said his site was in error and he would correct it. The new Explorer will come out in January of 2001 as a 2002 model, NOT in January of 2002 as it says on the site. Bernie

After everything that I’ve read here and elsewhere, I still don’t think that there is a definite answer to your question as to what year number the new style will be. What does seem to be fairly definite is that the new style will be delayed until early 2001. Whether it is called a 2001 or a 2002 model is anyones guess.
