The Ford Explorer is a highly recognizable and well-loved vehicle that has been a favorite among car enthusiasts and families. That won’t change any time soon, but at least one popular version won’t be available to the public anymore. The Ford Explorer Hybrid is leaving the consumer lineup, and Schmit Bros Ford is explaining why this change happened.
The Rise of the Ford Police Interceptor Utility
The Ford Explorer Hybrid has proven far more popular among law enforcement than the general public. The Ford Motor Company responded by shifting hybrid production to the Ford Explorer Police Interceptor Utility Hybrid. The Police Interceptor model offers a range of improved features that are especially helpful to first responders.
What if I Still Want a Ford Explorer?
The good news is that you can still get one. Though the hybrid model will not be available, the 2024 Ford Explorer still offers a pair of robust and efficient EcoBoost® engines, so you get all the power and versatility you’d expect from a Ford SUV. There’s still the choice of rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, a maximum 5,600-pound towing capacity, seating for seven, and a Terrain Management System™, among many other excellent features.
We have many attractive options to explore if you insist on a hybrid or EV. The Ford F-150 Lightning, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and two Ford Escape options (Hybrid and PHEV) give you the best of the brand with the electric twist you're looking for.
