Ford announced the all-new Explorer on Tuesday, which represents a major break from the old way of thinking about SUVs — hulking and gas-guzzling. The new vehicle is built on a car platform, not a truck's, and eschews the V-8 option for a more fuel-efficient V-6. In the wake of the announcement, MSNBC anchors take Ford CEO Alan Mullaly to task over fuel efficiency, Ford's part in the recovery of American automaking, and the difficulty of making and selling SUVs in a world where energy independence is so critical.
