The 2013 Explorer Sport was launched by Ford at the 2012 New York Auto Show to fill a high performance niche of the automaker's SUV lineup.

The Explorer Sport is powered by the same 3.5 liter, twin-turbo, Ecoboost V6 from the current Ford Taurus SHO. Power is down slightly from the Taurus SHO to 350hp but the same 350lb-ft of torque. All models come with all-wheel drive, and a six-speed automatic transmission. Ford also improved the suspension by increasing damping by 20% and spring rates by 10%. It will tow 5,000lbs.

To differentiate the Explorer Sport on the outside, the truck as 20in wheels and blacked-out headlight surround and tail light surround, mirror covers and rear bumper trim. The grill is painted gray with a deeper front bumper to suck in more air. There are also Sport and Ecoboost badges.
