What’s new for the 2024 Ford Explorer?
The one area that changes in the 2024 Ford Explorer follows the trend we have seen this year with manufacturing: transitioning the base models away from the hybrid powertrain to returning to turbocharged engine options. The Ford Explorers in 2024 will not have a hybrid powertrain setup. Now, the hybrid powertrain will not be eliminated altogether. However, it will no longer be available in retail; it will still appear exclusively in the Explorer Police Interceptor.
What are the 2024 Ford Explorer engine options?
The 2024 Ford Explorer base model, XLT, ST-Line, Timberline, and Limited trims have a 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine with Auto Start-Stop Technology and a 10-speed automatic transmission.
The 2024 Explorer ST, Platinum, and King Ranch trims have the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine with Auto Start-Stop Technology paired with the 10-speed automatic transmission. The ST has SelectShift capability with paddle shifters, which is a nice, sporty touch for this upper-level trim with the V6 engine.
