Ford Explorer fans should be on the lookout for more than a UFO sighting when the acclaimed pop culture phenomenon, “The X-Files”, returns to television as the Ford Explorer Platinum will feature as the vehicle used by FBI Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) throughout the highly anticipated six-episode series.
“Pairing the vehicle that set the bar for SUVs with the show that set the standard for sci-fi television is a great relationship,” said Ginger Kasanic, Ford marketing manager, SUVs and technology in the US. “To be a part of an iconic television show that is so technology-centric is a perfect fit for Explorer – a vehicle loaded with driver-assist technology.”
Along with the appearance of Explorer, an Escape, Mustang and black Taurus will be featured throughout the season as well, continuing Ford Motor Company’s long history with “The X-Files”.
Ford vehicles were featured when the show made its debut in 1993, with Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) notably referring to his Ford Taurus as “a good American car”.
In 2015, Explorer was the second best-selling Ford in Nigeria. The new Explorer, recently launched in Nigeria, offers more luxury and comfort, smart technologies, improved performance and efficiency, as well as greater all-round capabilities to this popular vehicle.
