2016 Ford Explorer Sport and Limited First Review - Kelley Blue Book

The Ford Explorer has been a staple in the midsize SUV segment for 25 years now. 0-liter inline-four cylinder engine also has been ditched in favor of Ford's new 2. 3-liter inline-four cylinder EcoBoost engine. New for 2016 in the Explorer is the 2. 3-liter inline-four cylinder EcoBoost engine which is available in the base XLT and Limited trim. 0-liter EcoBoost engine has gone away and is replaced by this new form of motivation. While it's also found in the Mustang and Lincoln MKC, Ford claims the 2. 3-liter EcoBoost engine has been calibrated differently for use in the Explorer. Ford estimates this new EcoBoost engine will be good for 28 mpg on the highway with front-wheel drive, be able to tow up to 3,500 pounds, and it will be available with all-wheel drive. Other available engines for the 2016 Explorer include the 3. 5-liter Ti-VCT V6 and Ford's wildly popular 3. 5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. We'll wait for the rest of the rest of the Explorer's EPA-certified fuel numbers to come out but after initial contact we found the 2. 3-liter EcoBoost engine to be the one to get. Source: www.kbb.com
