    I have been told that this truck was the truck used in the Motor Trend test video for the Saleen XP8. It is built on a 1996 chassis and originally had the 1996 rear end as seen in the Motor Trend video. There was also pin-striping on the rear wing. At
    some point (???) the rear bumper cover, rear hatch from a gen 2.5 Explorer (notice no rear wiper though) and the rear wing were replaced prior to the truck being sold by Saleen in 2003. If anyone has photos of this truck with its original configuration -
    please message me.

    Video of this truck can be see later on in this thread


    Information and photos researched/collected by Big White Ford Explorer. I've been maintaining the photo registry of the Saleen XP8 and Saleen XP6 Ford Explorer SUV / PUV Trucks since 2007.

    If you have any questions about the Explorer or Saleen XP8/XP6 - I'm glad to help
