Poetry in Motion

If you pop the hood of the 2021 Ford Explorer, you’ll find a beautifully engineered 4-cylinder, 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine that’s equipped to reach 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.

To further optimize the engine performance, the Explorer was also designed with a 10-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift® capability. This allows switching between fully automatic and semi-automatic. This feature gives additional control to the driver for a truly personal experience behind the wheel.

While the Explorer is tough and gritty, it is also elegant. Receiving an EPA-estimated 27 city and 29 highway MPG, the SUV will work hard for your wallet.¹

Vehicle Versatility

Ford built the Explorer with versatility in mind. Inside the cabin, you’ll have 152.7 cubic feet of passenger volume and 18.2 cubic feet of cargo volume when third-row seating is being utilized. Third-row seating implementation allows the vehicle to comfortably fit up to seven passengers. If you find you don’t need to fit seven people, the Explorer will function with even more storage space with 47.9 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the second row.

Have equipment that just won’t fit inside the cabin? The Explorer has you covered there, too. When properly equipped, its powerful engine is ready to haul with 5,300 pounds of towing capacity, ideal for a trip to the beach or just transporting supplies for your next DIY project.
