If you’re looking for fuel-injection engines, the 2021 Ford Explorer has two to offer. Standard models receive the 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine. This powertrain, which comes with standard rear-wheel drive, offers optimal fuel economy with a combined estimated 28 MPG. Higher trim levels have access to a 3.0-liter EcoBoost® option that offers 365 horsepower. Meanwhile, the ST trim level adds Ford Performance engine tuning to the 3.0-liter model. This equates to 400 horsepower and 415 ft-lbs of torque, making it the strongest option available for the model. Plus, it provides the model-best 143 mph top speed.
Aside from the above-mentioned engines, the 2021 Ford Explorer also comes with a hybrid powertrain. The Limited Hybrid trim level is equipped with a 3.3-liter hybrid engine. Offering up to 318 horsepower and 322 ft-lbs of torque, it’s one of the strongest hybrid models in its class. Plus, its hybrid powertrain offers up to an estimated 27 City / 29 Highway MPG.
