The Ford Explorer comes back this year with more options and goodies. This very spacious, generous, and versatile vehicle remains a judicious choice in the traditional SUV market. But if we talk about fuel consumption, it remains a rather personal choice, whichever engine is chosen. The difference in consumption between the 210 horsepower 4.0-litre V6 and the 292 horsepower 4.6-litre V8 is relative. Only your daily needs can direct you towards the best choice.
