Ford Explorer Horsepower by Year

The Ford Explorer’s catalog horsepower ranges from 160 to 400 hp across model years 1999–2023. This is the range for the years covered, not a rating that applies to every Explorer.

Horsepower varies by year and engine, so use the catalog entry for the specific model year and configuration rather than assuming the range endpoints describe your vehicle. The figures indicate engine output; they do not by themselves identify which engine or trim is fitted.

If a horsepower figure for your exact vehicle is not listed, confirm its engine and specifications in the owner’s manual. For vehicle-specific details not given in the catalog, check the owner’s manual or ask a Ford dealer.

Catalog horsepower and torque by year.

The largest stored change occurs between 2010 and 2011, when horsepower increases.
