2011 Ford Explorer configuration site gives away pricing

The cat’s out of the bag, and most of the prices for the new 2011 Ford Explorer are available.  Base price for the V6 model is $28,190, plus an additional $800 delivery charge.  Ford has also released the configuration utility, called Build & Price, for the 2011 Explorer.  As of now, it’s limited to V6 models only, so no word yet on the turbo 4-cylinder prices.  Click here to configure your own.  While prices start at $28,190 for a front wheel drive base model, the top trim level Limited starts at $37,190, $39,190 with 4WD.  Add up all the options, and you’re talking high-$40,000s – well into Lincoln territory.  Does this mean that Lincoln’s crossovers will have to move up in price as well?
