Arrival of Explorer Eco-boost

[gcharriman]

I heard that the Explorer will soon come with the eco-boost engine option. Does anyone know of its arrival date?

4 cylinder EcoBoost. If you're looking for the 6 cylinder, keep wishin'

Model year 2012 will see the 4 cyl, AFAIK.

to add to that, MY 2012 is suppose to start being built in Aug.

thanks Joe, I was hoping to get an "Explorer CHO" or V6 EcoBoost

I think most agree that it is coming- just a question of when. I don't think the fact that it hasn't been announced means much. It could show up any time- even half way through a model year.

 

[Joe Dirt]

It's not coming soon. I can't say more than that, but don't count on it.

Maybe it will be in a Lincoln version.

Just saw this, doesn't look promising for twin-turbo V-6...
