Hybrid Performance

2023 Ford Explorer Hybrid Review

The Ford Explorer has one hybrid engine option that provides quite a bit of power. The 3.3L Hybrid engine delivers an impressive 318 horsepower and 322 lb-ft of torque. You’ll have the option of rear-wheel drive for a sporty performance or available intelligent 4-wheel drive, which provides traction when you need it.

If you’re interested in off-roading, the standard Terrain Management System™ will come in handy. This system shifts the engine’s performance to adapt to the environment you’re in.

Want to take a weekend away with a few toys? Bring whatever you need with the Explorer Hybrid’s maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.
