This Ford SUV model can be outfitted to become anything from a workhorse to a luxury SUV. Along with your Ford Explorer trim level options, there are also three engine choices for this SUV for sale. Before you visit our Ford dealership near you, Ewald would like to review the three engine options for the 2022 Ford Explorer.
Standard Engine | 2022 Ford Explorer
The base engine for the Ford Explorer for sale is a 300-horsepower 2.3L EcoBoost® engine. You'll enjoy 415 lb/ft of torque with the standard 2022 Ford Explorer engine. This engine is standard on Base, XLT, and Limited trims. EPA estimates 20-21 mp for the city and 27-28 mpg on the highway for the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder.
Per AutoBlog: "Here is where the 2022 Ford Explorer really shines. Standard on most trims is a 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-four that produces 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. That's considerably better than the naturally aspirated V6 engines found in most competitors."
Per Kelley Blue Book: "For most tastes and conditions, there’s nothing wrong with the base turbocharged 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine. It’s gutsy enough to move a full 2022 Explorer without too much effort. Serving as an excellent complement is the pleasantly precise 10-speed automatic transmission."
Per Edmunds: "The latest Explorer can handle lots of power, and Ford takes full advantage. The sturdy turbocharged four-cylinder base engine easily outpaces the competition."
3.0 Liter V6 | 2022 Ford Explorer
If a four cylinder engine isn't aggressive enough, the Ford Explorer for sale can do you one better. There is also a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 available for the Explorer at our Ford dealership in Waukesha. This muscular engine delivers a horsepower of 400 and 415 lbs/ft of torque. King Ranch, Platinum and ST SUVs for sale will be equipped with this 3.0-liter V6. The EPA estimate fuel efficiency is 18 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway (2021 EPA estimate).
Per Edmunds: "And there's a bonkers turbo V6 in the Explorer ST for those who believe too much is never enough."
3.3 Liter Hybrid Engine | 2022 Ford Explorer
The hybrid 2022 Ford Explorer for sale boasts a 3.3-liter V6 engine paired with an electric motor. You'll enjoy 318 horsepower and 322 lb/ft of torque with this Ford SUV model. The rear-wheel-drive hybrid Ford Explorer for sale near you offers 27 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. With four-wheel-drive, you'll get 23 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.
Per Edmunds: "For the most part, this is no hollow promise because the driving experience exceeds that of any previous Explorer. It's quick, it has poise and balance, and it likes to be hustled through corners. This is the one to get if your daily drive includes mountain roads or interesting corners."
Per CNET: "The redesigned Explorer's shorter overhangs make it more agile off road, with a 20-degree approach angle to better help it get up and over obstacles. The Hybrid can ford up to 18 inches of water, and the available hill-descent control keeps the Explorer nice and steady on a 45-degree slope."
