2.3L Ecoboost

Efficient Power

2.3L

EcoBoost®

Six-Speed SelectShift®

A powerful 2.3L EcoBoost® engine delivers 280 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque, a substantial increase over the previous 2.0L EcoBoost. And it’s available with 4WD and the Class II Trailer Tow Package.

Automatic Transmission Explorer comes standard with a six-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, so you can easily and quickly change gears.

Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning with Brake Support

Available adaptive cruise control is a step beyond conventional cruise control. When its sensors detect traffic slowing, your vehicle also slows down. After traffic has cleared, your vehicle resumes the preset speed. Available forward collision warning with brake support will alert you if it senses a potential collision with the car in front of you. A heads-up display, which simulates brake lights, flashes on the windshield. If you don’t react in time, the brakes will pre-charge and increase brake-assist sensitivity to provide full responsiveness.

Three Rows. Spacious Seating for up to Seven

The Explorer can carry up to seven passengers. The second row features a 60/40 split-fold flat bench and available bucket seats and console, while the third row has a 50/50 split folding seat with generous passenger space. Behind the third row, there is up to 21 cubic feet of cargo volume. For more cargo space, up to 81.7 cubic feet, fold the second and third rows for a flat load surface.

Class-Exclusive PowerFold® Third-row seat

The available PowerFold® third-row seat is a class-exclusive feature.* At the touch of a button, it folds flat for additional cargo room and a level load floor. In the upright position, it comfortably seats two passengers.

Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning with Brake Support
