What kind of engine does the 2013 Ford Explorer have?

Then again, you say, a Ford is not a BMW. Consider, then, that the 2013 Explorer Sport, with the same 365 horsepower/350 pound-feet 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 we know from the Taurus SHO, doesn’t hold up too shabbily to the high-powered Euro competition, whose V8s churn out significantly more power but also are markedly porkier on the scales.

What’s the new version of the Ford Explorer?

What’s New? For 2013, a new Sport trim joins the Explorer fleet, offering a twin-turbocharged V6 engine, standard 4-wheel drive, 20-inch sport alloy wheels and two-tone leather-trimmed seats. New features for the Explorer include a passenger-side front knee airbag, available heated steering wheel and auto-dimming headlights.

What are the trim levels of a 2013 Ford Explorer?

The 2013 Ford Explorer also offers two progressively more premium trim levels—XLT and Limited—for additional technology and comfort advantages.

What kind of infotainment system does Ford Explorer have?

The top-tier Limited trim features the MyFord Touch infotainment system, complete with an eight-inch touch screen display and two USB ports. The 2013 Ford Explorer Sport shares most of the Limited’s features, but offers its own unique leather upholstery and other interior and exterior trim features.

In addition to its V6 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission, the 2013 Ford Explorer boasts numerous power assists, MyFord driver connectivity, AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio with media hub, air conditioning, cruise control, tilt/telescoping steering column and more.
