The 2022 Ford Explorer is a dependable SUV with room for the whole family. It’s known for its tough drivetrain and convenient cargo room, but what kind of fuel economy is it capable of?
To show drivers in Shreveport, Bossier City, and Stonewall, LA, what it can do for you, Rountree Ford examines the Ford Explorer gas mileage. Let’s get going!
​
Ford Explorer Fuel Economy
The 2022 Ford Explorer standardly provides up to an EPA-estimated 21 city and 28 highway MPG. That kind of fuel economy comes from its 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 engine. It keeps the drive going with a larger 17.9-gallon gas tank and auto start-stop technology.
The base trim comes with standard rear-wheel drive, but Intelligent 4WD (4-wheel drive) is also available. It gives you peace of mind with dependable traction as well as an efficient performance. With 4WD, the 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 engine can offer up to an EPA-estimated 20 city and 27 highway MPG.
Both of the Explorer’s other engines are V6 powertrains. One is a gas engine and the other is a hybrid engine. The gas 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 engine comes with a 20.2-gallon gas tank. It delivers an EPA-estimated 18 city and 26 highway MPG. Meanwhile, the 3.3L Hybrid V6 provides an EPA-estimated 27 city and 28 highway MPG.
Ford Explorer Performance
All of the Ford Explorer’s powertrains work with a versatile 10-speed automatic transmission. In addition to offering good fuel economy, each engine provides lots of power so you can carry all your cargo.
The 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 that comes standard on the base trim produces 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. With that kind of power, you’ll have a 5,300-pound towing capacity when properly equipped. That’s enough to bring a big trailer or pull a couple of recreational vehicles.
The next option is a 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 that delivers 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. You’ll get a maximum towing capacity of 5,600 pounds with this engine and when properly configured.
Ford Explorer Hybrid
If fuel economy is your focus, you’ll immediately be drawn to the Ford Explorer hybrid powertrain. Its 3.3L Hybrid V6 engine works with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
This combination helps it get up to an EPA-estimated 27 city and 28 highway MPG. When combined with its 18-gallon gas tank, that kind of fuel economy can provide you with miles and miles of the open road.
While the Explorer’s hybrid engine helps you cut down on stops for gas, it’s also a lot of fun to drive. It can get up to 318 horsepower and 322 lb-ft of torque. Plus, it can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.
