For a while now, when you would ask for what the 3.5-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Explorer Sport makes, they would say “ it makes more than 350 horsepower”.
Yesterday, Ford finally announced an official figure that should impress all the HEMI fans as well - 365 horsepower, the same as you get from the new Taurus SHO with the same engine. The engine is mated to a paddle-shifted six-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission with a new 3.16 to 1 final drive ratio, for that sporty feel.
The SUV is playing the balancing act between economy and power, as it also returns 22 mpg highway. Ford says this is “2 mpg better on the highway than the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango R/T with 5.7-liter Hemi engines."
The sporty SUV is priced from $41,545 including destination.
