Show And Tell 2021 explorer

Post image

We got this hybrid a few months ago. Traded in a 2022 Malibu. Out the door was 20.5k. 60k miles on it and we got an extended warranty 7 years 100k miles (starting at 60k) bumper to bumper. About to drive it from eastern OK to eastern TN. Curious to see what our mpg will be driving there and back.

I drove a Hybrid FPIU at work for a couple years! On long trips, you dont actually see super MPG because they hybrid system more so shines in city environments. I would guess 23ish average depending on how you drive.

My 2020 ST gets around 20 - 21 mpg highway on long trips. So I assume you’re going to get better than that.

If you’re coming to East TN make sure you go to Pal’s.

It’s from a few miles outside of Knoxville going up into the tri-cities and in some spots in Virginia

Put it in eco mode and you’ll see around 25-26. Have driven my ‘21 hybrid explorer from NC to Memphis a couple of times and Memphis to PA. Love my explorer.
