Assimilator Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 No PHEV Explorer in the US right now, Aviator will have that exclusive with the 3.0T PHEV, which is also VERY torquey. The Cops and Normals get a 3.3L HEV with AWD available. ST and Platinum get the 3.0L EB The 2.3L EB is standard, 3.3L V6 is available as an upgrade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Correct, Police have already been testing the PI with 3.0 EB and the 3.3 V6 HEV, the latter should prove to be very fuel efficient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea on what kind of premium the PHEV will carry over the regular 3.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assimilator Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I'm guessing the 3.0T PHEV will be in an $70K+ version of Aviator. I'm told Explorer will get the option internationally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 The option itself probably won't be more than $5K or so but you won't be able to get it on the lower trim levels and it will probably have a lot of other standard high end options.

As long as it’s reasonable I could see going with a BL PHEV, but it’d have to be on par to what BMW’s new X5 offers as far as range is concerned. Otherwise I’ll stick to the 3.0TT.

bzcat Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 X5 eDrive has 2.0 turbo I4 so not exactly the same league as Aviator (or Explorer) PHEV. The only comparable car to Aviator PHEV on the market right now is Porsche Cayenne S E-hybrid, which has a 3.0 supercharge V6 paired with PHEV producing 410 hp. Ford is probably going to position Aviator PHEV as a competitor to V8 powered rivals - i.e. X5 50i, GLE 550, Range Rover Sport 5.0 And the non-PHEV Aviator 3.0T will compete with X5 40i, GLE400, Range Rover Sport 3.0T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellanca Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I’m just saying if it’s lame like the XC90 T8’s 20 mile range it’s not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trader 10 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 If the 3.0 will be the top engine in the Aviator, I wouldn’t think the 3.5 will be available in the Explorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assimilator Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The 3.0L EB will kick the pants out of the old 3.5L EB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader 10 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I’m sure it will, But I’m assuming Ford will replace the old 3.5 EB with the new generation 3.5 as new models are brought out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is anything left with the old 3.5 that will get the new one. Actually, I think the only thing left with the old 3.5 that will live to see model year 2020 is the Explorer. I guess it's possible the Raptor's version of the 3.5L may show up in the Explorer Sport/ST maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosheYehuda Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Is this the Same 3.0TT of the Lincoln MKZ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be longitudinal (RWD) instead of transverse (FWD) and it has a different transmission but I believe the basic engine is the same.
