Brooklyn, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/11/2011 -- Bay Ridge Ford in Brooklyn is pleased to announce that the most fuel-efficient SUV, the 2011 Ford Explorer can be found at its local dealership. The 2011 North American Truck of the Year is powered by EcoBoost engine technology that is able to increase fuel efficiency and give drivers the power they want and need.

The 2011 Ford Explorer gets an EPA-estimated 28 miles per gallon with the EcoBoost technology. This fuel economy makes it the most fuel efficient seven-passenger SUV on the market.

With its best-in-class fuel efficiency, the Ford Explorer benefits from a smooth vehicle shape, and careful aerodynamic styling. Light-weight components also play a role, such as an aluminum hood.

The four-cylinder EcoBoost engine on the 2011 Explorer is able to deliver almost the same power as the V6 engine model. With 240-horsepower and 270 pounds-feet of torque the EcoBoost Explorer is just as capable of towing and hauling as the V6 model.

Ford’s EcoBoost technology uses a 2.0-Liter engine that combines gasoline direct injection and turbo charging with smaller overall displacement. EcoBoost is a global Ford strategy to provide affordable fuel efficient vehicles for millions of drivers, while also delivering the power. Ford plans to offer EcoBoost on 90 percent of its vehicles by 2013.
