A Look at the 2022 Ford Explorer Hybrid Engine
The star of this Explorer model is its available hybrid motor. Paired with 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel or available intelligent four-wheel drive, it combines the classic power of gasoline and the efficient energy of battery power to give you even more distance on each drop of fuel.
The 3.3L hybrid motor uses a V6 design to unleash even more energy as you start up the Explorer. It unleashes a combined 318 horsepower and 322 lb-ft of torque that will give you the power you need to overcome obstacles. It’s fully off-road ready as well, so you can take it anywhere you need to be.
The hybrid engine in the Explorer is ready to tow your extra heavy gear as well. When properly equipped, the Explorer hybrid can tow up to 5,000 lbs. of trailer weight with it. That opens up lots of possibilities for your next adventure out to the campsite.
Inside the 2022 Ford Explorer Hybrid
When you and your crew get together, you’ll find plenty of room to stretch out inside the Explorer hybrid. There’s room for up to seven passengers to join in on the fun in a spacious 152.7 cubic feet of passenger volume. That lets everyone find a comfortable place to claim as their own.
