Ford Explorer deliveries fall
Ford has decided to stop selling the hybrid-powered 2024 Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, instead focusing on supplying the Police Interceptor Utility Hybrid.
“To meet continued high demand for the Ford Police Interceptor Utility Hybrid and other Ford hybrid vehicles, the 2024 Explorer will be offered only with the fuel-efficient 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine and the 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 engine,” Green Car said. Ford spokesman Mike Levine reports.
Ford Drops 2024 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator Hybrids to Continue Delivery of Police Interceptor Utility
The Ford Police Interceptor Utility comes standard with a 3.3-liter hybrid-assisted V6 engine that produces a total of 318 horsepower. The power plant allows police to operate on-board equipment from a lithium-ion battery when the internal combustion engine is turned off. Ford touts the feature as a way to save police money by improving fuel economy and reducing powertrain downtime.
Meanwhile, 2024 Lincoln Aviator buyers will now only get the twin-turbocharged V6 engine.
Explorer deliveries fell 11.6% in the third quarter.
