Performance

The Ford Explorer has exciting powertrain offers for Penn Yan drivers to consider.

The remaining trim levels of the Ford Explorer turbocharged three-liter V6 engine making 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. An upgraded version of the V6 engine can be found in the Ford Expedition now producing 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque.
