It's been less than 24 hours since <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/ford">Ford</a> took the wraps off of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/26/2011-ford-explorer-unveiled-tries-crossing-over-on-road-to-redemption/">2011 Explorer</a>, but in an effort to keep the buzz going about the all-new crossover due to hit dealerships later this year, Ford's <a href="http://bp2.forddirect.fordvehicles.com/2011-Ford-Explorer#page=/Models/">online configurator</a> is already up and running. <br />
<br />
At the moment, only models equipped with the 3.5-liter V6 can be optioned, ranging from the base $28,190 front-wheel drive Explorer (*Don't forget to add $805 for delivery fees) all the way up to the top-trim Limited 4WD ($39,190 plus destination). A fully decked-out all-wheel drive configuration will set you back $48,075* - and that's before the optional accessory list is looked over.<br />
<br />
If you have some time to waste, head over to Ford's configuration page and spec out the Explorer of your dreams. Additionally, be sure to scroll through our <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-ford-explorer-colors/">gallery of color choices</a>, showing the nine available paint jobs.<br />
