By that, we mean that you can have both power and capability as well as fuel efficiency and fuel economy. This is because for the 2017 model year, the Ford Explorer offers an eco-friendly engine option that works to reduce fuel spending while still creating the powerful drive we know and love from the Explorer. Don\u2019t believe us? Well, we&#8217;ll let the <strong>2017 Ford Explorer engine specs<\/strong> speak for themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>[Read more: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.houstonford.com\/blog\/2017-ford-explorer-xlt-sport-appearance-package\/\">2017 Explorer XLT Sport Appearance Package<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Under the hood of the new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.houstonford.com\/clp-2017-ford-explorer-brainerd-mn\">2017 Ford Explorer<\/a>, drivers are able to opt for the Sport or Platinum trims that offer the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost\u00ae engine option, which provides better fuel economy and power simultaneously. With this engine option, drivers are able to create enough power for every day of the ear with a maximum of 365 horsepower. And the perks don\u2019t end there, either. This engine option conserves gas, achieving 19 mpg in the city and 28 on the highway.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also available for the 2017 Explorer is a 2.3-liter, 4-cylinder engine option. While this option offers the same fuel economy as the 3.5-liter engine, it caps out its power output at 280 horsepower, which is still nothing to turn your nose up at!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kimbercreekford.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/347\/2016\/06\/2017-Ford-Explorer_o.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kimbercreekford.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/347\/2016\/06\/2017-Ford-Explorer_o.jpg\" alt=\"2017 Ford Explorer\" class=\"wp-image-4012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/720\/2016\/06\/02081402\/2017-Ford-Explorer_o.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/720\/2016\/06\/02081402\/2017-Ford-Explorer_o-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>[More in store for 2017: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.houstonford.com\/blog\/2017-ford-mustang-performance\/\">Ford Mustang performance<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Get the 2017 Ford Explorer at Houston Ford of Pine River<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re interested in getting behind the wheel of the 2017 Ford Explorer when it arrives on our lot here at Houston Ford of Pine River, you may still have a bit of a wait yet as it won\u2019t be releasing until later this year.
