Redesigned for the 2011 model year, the new Ford Explorer will be available with an optional 2.0-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which Ford claims will increase fuel economy by at least 30 percent over the current-generation Explorer. The 2010 model’s old-school 4.0-liter V6 Explorer is EPA rated at 13 mpg city, 19 mpg highway. Ford claims the EcoBoost could bring the highway fuel economy up to 26 mpg on the highway.
