Ford has announced that pricing for the 2012 Explorer with EcoBoost will start at $29,990 for a base model, and run up to $39,560 for a top-of-the-line Limited equipped with the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The efficiency-oriented EcoBoost motor is available on all three Explorer trim levels, where it has been positioned price-wise between front-drive V-6 and all-wheel-drive V-6 Explorers. On all three trim levels, the EcoBoost engine will cost you $995 over the standard 290-hp 3.5-liter V-6 engine.
The EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 240 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque, which is 50 fewer hp but 15 more lb-ft than the Explorer’s 3.5-liter V-6 produces. Rated at an impressive 28 mpg highway and 20 in the city, the four-cylinder EcoBoost-equipped Explorer is unavailable with all-wheel drive.
