With an engine type of 3.5L V6 and a power of 350 hp @ 5500 rpm this car is set out to hit the market. Its design is also very charming and beautiful. How can one miss out its Transmission, which is a 6-speed Automated Manual one. Since this Ford Explorer Sport is recent in the market, thus we don’t have enough reviews to share with you all.

KEY COMPETITORS TO FORD EXPLORER SPORT

While there are numerous three-row crossovers that can compete with the Explorer Sport on the basis of power, the only model with a similar price is the Hemi-equipped Dodge Durango. Others, like the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, are far more expensive, while those closer in price, such as fully-loaded examples of the Honda Pilot and Toyota 4Runner, feature motors with significantly less grunt.
