As sales of the Ford Explorer decline, so does its lineup. In 2010, Ford will drop the Explorer Sport Trac and the Mercury Mountaineer SUV. This move will occur when Ford switches the Explorer from a body-on-frame to a unibody platform. Based on the D3 platform used on the new 2010 Ford Taurus, the unibody 2011 Ford Explorer will go into production in 2010 at the Torrence Avenue plant.
This Thursday, the manufacture of the Sable sedan of the Mercury brand will come to an end at the Ford Assembly plant in Chicago, which will also signal the start of the production of the 2010 Ford Taurus model.

Completing three of Ford’s improved mid-size sedans this week at the LA Auto Show is the new Lincoln MKZ, which like its predecessor Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan siblings has gotten a new face, revised insides, and more standard attributes for the 2010.
