Rock Sales Parts helps Explorer owners across the United States source replacement parts. Call with your VIN or your year, engine, drivetrain, and trim.
Know your Explorer generation
Parts often change between generations — and sometimes within one. Use this as a guide; your VIN confirms the exact details.
| Model years | What to know |
|---|---|
| Through 2010 | Body-on-frame Explorer generations. |
| 2011–2019 | Unibody, front-wheel-drive-based design with V6 and EcoBoost four-cylinder options. |
| 2020 and newer | Rear-wheel-drive-based platform with 2.3L EcoBoost and 3.0L EcoBoost V6 options, plus a hybrid in some years. |
Model-year ranges are general guidance for U.S. models and can vary by configuration.
