edselford Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I recently leased a 2021 Explorer 4WD XLT. It’s a nice vehicle with plenty of power but just slightly noisy while accelerating! I am very pleased with the handling snd and highway fuel economy too! Looking under the hood, there is plenty of room for an inline six version of the 2.3 liter I4 This approach would eliminate one cylinder head, one turbo, two VCCI mechanisms , one long chain and two camshafts when compared to the 3.0 liter V6 Ecoboost engine. Any thought given to what you will need 5 to ten years out when pure electrics may not catch on? Edselford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 An I6 probably wouldn’t fit in Ranger or Mustang and definitely not Corsair or Maverick or any other C2 vehicle, so you just made it more expensive to have 2 different engines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
