New Ford Product InvestmentsBest reason I can think of is to have a larger-displacement more-powerful Atkinson engine for hybrids. A new engine larger than existing 2.5L used in Maverick would be needed for heavier vehicles like Explorer. The difference between 3.4L and 2.5L would compensate for a vehicle roughly 1,000 pounds heavier or more. It's not likely though because like Stellantis, Ford would go after twin-turbo power instead of Atkinson, making incremental improvement over 3.5L EB not worth the effort and cost. On the other hand I don't see Ford building a dedicated Atkinson inline-6 engine for larger hybrids either. As I said before, this late in ICE game it seems highly improbable unless Ford plan to go all in on hybrids.Tue, 07 Nov 2023 13:08:43 +0000
