When the all-new Ford Explorer was named 2011 North American Truck of the Year just prior to the opening of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, it marked the third straight time that a Ford product had taken home the honor.
“It’s a proud moment for Ford, our employees and our customers to have Explorer named North American Truck of the Year,” said Mark Fields, Ford president of The Americas. “Winning this honor for the third consecutive year confirms our One Ford plan is working to deliver vehicles people truly want and value, with industry-leading quality, fuel efficiency, safety and smart technology.”
It’s also a direct reflection on Ford’s leadership role in powertrain innovation—a key driver of the Explorer’s success. The standard engine in Ford’s SUV is an advanced 3.5-liter V6 that leverages technologies like twin independent variable camshaft timing to give the Explorer both the best highway fuel economy in its class (a full 25 mpg, to go with a notable mark of 17 mpg city) as well as a robust 290 hp. Also notable: Later this year, the Explorer will be available with one of Ford’s innovative 2.0-liter Ecoboost I4 engines for even better fuel efficiency.
