What EcoBoost® Engine Options Are Available in the 2025 Ford Explorer?

Looking for an SUV that delivers more than just good looks? The 2025 Ford Explorer backs up its bold design with two EcoBoost® engines that bring unmatched power and efficiency to every drive. Whether you’re heading into downtown Stuart, FL, or setting off for a cross-state road trip, the Explorer’s engines give you the confidence to take the long way home.

The 2025 Ford Explorer’s EcoBoost® Engines:

Every 2025 Explorer comes with one of two EcoBoost® engine options—each engineered for a bold blend of performance and fuel economy. Here’s a breakdown of the basics:

• 3L EcoBoost® I-4 (Standard on Active and ST-Line trims): Delivering 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, this engine is perfect if you need daily flexibility with just the right amount of get-up-and-go. Acceleration feels quick, towing stays confident, and fuel efficiency doesn’t take a hit when you’re loaded up for a weekend road trip.
• 0L EcoBoost® V6 (Standard on ST, available on Platinum): A twin-turbo powerhouse with 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, the 3.0L V6 is the one you choose if you want some extra thrill in your drives. This is the perfect choice for drivers who crave more response and more capability.

Both engines are paired with Ford’s 10-speed automatic transmission for seamless shifting and improved highway efficiency. You get the torque where it counts—down low—and the staying power when you’re pushing forward.

Built to Perform and Built to Last

EcoBoost® technology is one of Ford’s proudest innovations—for good reason. EcoBoost® engines leverage turbocharging and direct injection to deliver strong low-RPM torque and brisk acceleration without relying on oversized displacement. So, you’re getting:

• Better fuel economy than most naturally aspirated rivals.
• Lower emissions with more efficient combustion.
• Durable, lightweight construction that enhances both speed and reliability.

Ford didn’t cut corners. Aluminum blocks, advanced cooling systems, and high-strength components ensure that even when you push it, your Explorer’s engine stays cool and capable.

Explorer’s Engine + Experience = A Complete SUV

While the EcoBoost® lineup delivers on power, the Explorer’s revamped cabin and elevated tech push the whole experience into luxury territory. From the crisp 13.2-inch touchscreen to the available BlueCruise hands-free driving system, every drive feels elevated. And with three-row seating, up to 5,000 pounds of towing, and intuitive storage zones, this SUV is still very much a daily workhorse—one that drives like something special.
