'90s?




True..but I feel like during the '90s it was kind of positioned as a luxury alternative to the Suburban. Don't think that was true earlier.

The 2-door Explorer was awful.

At some point in my life (probably 8-9), I really wanted a 2-door red 2nd gen. Shows what I knew.

And they had the nerve to sell a Mazda version..........  :facepalm:

Wait there was a Mazda version of the Explorer?

FYI it wasn't sold in Canada, Ed. Probably why you didn't know it existed.

Same with the Honda Passport and Acura SLX, which were rebadged Isuzu Rodeos and Troopers respectively.

Not really. It was positioned pretty much exactly the same as it was before: the shorter, 2-door version of the Suburban. It wasn't quite as expressedly 'sporty' though, being that it didn't have a removable top anymore.

The Honda Passport I've actually seen around, dunno what this SLX is though

Neither did I. Of all the vehicles to be turned into two doors, full size SUVs would be at the bottom of my list. It just seems like an oxymoron.

Think of it this way: Most earlier SUVs were based on standard cab pickups, which always had two doors. Four door pickups never really got popular until the SUV thing was an established segment.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?
