Performance
The Ford Explorer in Brookhaven brings two powerful engines - one is standard, while the other is optional. The standard engine is a turbocharged inline-four that generates 300 horsepower and makes 310 pound-feet of torque. However, more power comes from the optional V-6 with 400 horsepower and makes a torque of 415 pound-feet of torque. Both engines come with a 10-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel-drive. All-wheel-drive is available when you want a confident ride in Shirley.
The estimated EPA ratings of the standard engine are 28 mpg on the highway and 21 mpg in the city, whereas the V-6 brings 26 mpg on the highway and 18 mpg in the city. Adding the all-wheel-drive will lower the fuel efficiency ratings, but it would be worth it since you will be able to get outstanding performance from your vehicle.
The Explorer feels composed around turns due to its agile handling and sturdy brakes. It also delivers great performance in off-road situations in Medford due to its several off-road attributes like the limited-slip differential and tuned shock absorbers that contribute to its sufficient ground clearance.
