<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford">Ford</a> has set up a display to show off the multiple Terrain Management modes on the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/explorer">2011 Explorer</a> at this year's <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/chicago-auto-show">Chicago Auto Show</a>. As you may recall, the tech keeps an eye on a laundry list of parameters, including specs like engine speed, throttle position, transmission shift patterns and the stability and traction control systems.<br />
<br />
Visitors can ride shotgun over a number of surfaces, including a seesaw that transitions from a steep, slippery incline into a similarly aggressive descent and a deep sand section. The multiple surfaces are designed to flex the Explorer's all-terrain muscles, at least in the climate-controlled comfort of McCormick place.<br />
<br />
Our video ace Drew Phillips cooked up a quick video of the ride along for your viewing pleasure. The clip after the jump includes all of the gravity-defying action of the Explorer all-terrain system when viewed from both the cabin and from the safety of the show floor. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/10/video-2011-ford-explorer-shows-off-terrain-management-at-chicag/">Follow the jump</a> to check out the flick for yourself.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/10/video-2011-ford-explorer-plays-on-seesaw-at-chicago-auto-show/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Video: 2011 Ford Explorer plays on seesaw at Chicago Auto Show</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/10/video-2011-ford-explorer-plays-on-seesaw-at-chicago-auto-show/">Video: 2011 Ford Explorer plays on seesaw at Chicago Auto Show</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Thu, 10 Feb 2011 12:10:00 EST.
