If so, it is important to know what campers your Ford Explorer is capable of towing. A 2019 Ford Explorer can tow any camper weighing up to 5,000 pounds while the newer 2020 Ford Explorer can tow up to 5,600 pounds! This means that a Ford Explorer can tow pop-up trailers, hybrid trailers, teardrop trailers, and some smaller travel trailers. These issues aren’t exactly new to The Blue Oval, which experienced similar problems with the twin-turbo Ford 3.0L V6 EcoBoost engine used in the Ford Explorer ST, which is essentially a bored and stroked version of the 2.7. Now, those problems are once again surfacing in certain examples of the sixth-generation Bronco, too. The compression ratio is a modest 10:1 for all GTDI engines except the 2.0L, which is 9.3:1, and the 2.3L, which is 9.5:1. The lower compression is necessary in forced-air engines to prevent detonation. At 15 psi of turbo boost at sea level, an engine with a 10:1 compression ratio has an effective compression ratio of about 20:1. I have had all 3 of them and they all have their good and bad points: -- 3.6L GM in a 2008 Acadia with 275 HP@6600RPM and 251 LB-FT@3200RPM -- 3.5L Ford in a 2014 Ford Explorer (First Gen of the 3.7L) with 290 HP@6500RPM and 255 LB-FT@4000RPM -- 3.6L Pentastar in a 2019 Jeep with 285 HP@6400RPM and 260 LB-FT@4800RPM The GM required a water pump Trims. Configuration. 0-60 MPH. Base. 2.3L 4cyl RWD 10A. 5.5 sec. The 2023 Ford Explorer 0–60 is achieved in 6 seconds flat with the standard powertrain, while the more powerful Explorer ST does the same in 5.2 seconds. The Ford Explorer is powered by a 2.3-liter turbo-4 engine as standard but also gets a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 on higher models. EcoBoost generally surpasses the V6 due to its superior torque and the ability to unleash it at reduced RPMs. Its turbocharged nature renders it more robust and efficient than a traditional V6. How Robust is the 3.5 EcoBoost? Ford’s 3.5 EcoBoost, designed for the F-150, exudes more strength than its smaller counterpart, the 2.7 liters. It’s a $4,000 option in a Lariat on top of 2.7L EcoBoost V6 price. While there is good punch off-the-line, the engine runs out of steam above 45 MPH. This is typical of a turbo-diesel engine. Soon Ford started dropping the 2.3 EcoBoost into other vehicles, from the family-hauling Explorer to its ultimate hot hatchback Focus RS, which packs a 2.3 making a very stout 350 horsepower. And while a turbocharged four-cylinder is traditional engine choice for a hot hatch, in other more pedestrian vehicles the 2.3L has continued to establish 2021 Ford Explorer Limited 4dr SUV AWD (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 10A) 164 of 178 people found this review helpful Hit 660 miles Feb 9th, check engine light comes on with every warning the truck could qXSM7.
