What to Weigh Before Buying
Consider how the Explorer's seven-seat layout, 21-cubic-foot rear cargo area, and 5,000-pound maximum towing capacity align with daily family use. The trim range also creates a clear choice between 290-horsepower configurations with 16 to 17 city MPG and 22 to 24 highway MPG, and 365-horsepower configurations with 16 city MPG and 22 highway MPG.
Fuel choice is another point to review. Flex-Fuel (unleaded/E85) is listed for the XLT and Limited, while Sport and Platinum use regular unleaded. Comparing the trim's starting MSRP, fuel economy, horsepower, torque, and intended use can help narrow the selection.
