Ford Explorer: Powertrain Options
What would the Ford Explorer be without its powerful engine? Still, you won't be given just one engine with this SUV-you'll enjoy multiple powertrains to choose from, so you'll have just the right amount of power for your driving style.
This SUV comes standard with a 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 engine with up to 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. If that's not enough power, though, you can always upgrade to the 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 engine that gives you up to 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque.
If you want to save fuel, there's even an available 3.3L Hybrid powertrain that gives you a total of 318 horsepower and 322 lb-ft of torque. Whatever you want from your vehicle, you'll be able to get it through the many available powertrains in the Ford Explorer.
Ford Explorer: Interior Dimensions

One of the most enticing reasons to get an SUV is interior space. The Ford Explorer certainly doesn't skimp on interior room with enough space for up to seven passengers. Thanks to a passenger volume up to 152.7 cubic feet, there's room to spare.
If you don't need all that room for passengers, though, you can always expand it by folding down the back seats. With the expandable cargo volume, you'll be able to make use of these cargo dimensions:
- Behind Third Row: 18.2 cubic feet
- Behind Second Row: 47.9 cubic feet
- Behind First Row: 87.8 cubic feet
Ford Explorer: Available Active Park Assist 2.0
Today's cars are becoming more and more advanced with all sorts of features that help automate the driving process. The Ford Explorer treats drivers to an available Active Park Assist 2.0 system that automatically steers you into a detected parking space. If you're trying to fit into a small space in a parking garage, this feature can make things so much easier.
There's also a standard Lane-Keeping System that's specifically designed to keep you from drifting into neighboring lanes. This is a fantastic feature to have aboard your vehicle if you often drive along busy roads.
