Full specifications for the sixth-generation Ford Explorer (U625, 2020 on) — now on a rear-drive-based platform with a 10-speed automatic. Covers the 2.3L EcoBoost four, the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 in Platinum (365 hp) and ST (400 hp) tune, and the 3.3L Hybrid with its 318 hp combined output and a 1.5 kWh pack under the second-row seat.
Each column is one specific vehicle — a single engine or motor and, where shown, body style. Dimensions and several weights are specific to that body and drivetrain; other body or powertrain versions differ, so match the column to your own vehicle.

Sources: Owner's manual. Where an owner’s manual or homologation figure exists it takes precedence; workshop data fills only what those omit.
A dash (—) means we haven’t verified that figure for that variant yet. Figures are US-market. GVWR and some capacities aren’t published by the maker for every model, so they may be blank; your door-jamb label is the authority for weights and tire pressures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What engines does the 2020+ Explorer offer?
A 300 hp 2.3L EcoBoost, a 3.0L EcoBoost V6 (365 hp Platinum / 400 hp ST), and a 318 hp-combined 3.3L Hybrid.
How does the Explorer Hybrid work?
A 3.3L V6 pairs with an electric motor and a 1.5 kWh liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery under the second-row seat, so there’s no cargo-space penalty.
How much can it tow?
Up to 5,600 lb with the 3.0L EcoBoost and the tow package; the hybrid is rated at 5,000 lb.
Is the sixth-gen Explorer rear-wheel drive?
It’s rear-drive based with available all-wheel drive — a change from the front-drive-based fifth-gen car.
Disclaimer: Specifications vary by model year, trim and options. Confirm critical figures (towing, weights, tire sizes) against your own vehicle’s door label and documents.
