The Territory is more road biased then an Explorer and the platform is the from the Aussie RWD Falcon sedan, rather then the Explorer.
There have been several photos in the past week of this new model which is due for release in March or April. Seems to be a standard marketing ploy of recent years to drive a yet unreleased model on the streets and park in car parks so that some punter can snap a quick photo and spread it over the net and media.
The new front looks ok, but I'm not sure about the new tail lights. Will hold final opinion until I've seen it in the the metal. Don't think we will be upgrading to one.
Though the new diesel engine would be a benefit over the old model. While the straight six is a great engine it does suck the gas lugging a 2 ton body around.
