Freeway Ford in Bloomington carries the new Ford Explorer, a three-row midsize SUV for families who need room for seven, cargo space, and real towing capability. Shoppers from Edina, Richfield, Bloomington, Eagan, Apple Valley, and across the south metro compare Explorer trims here to find the right mix of comfort, performance, and all-weather traction.
The 2026 Explorer lineup includes the Active, ST-Line, Tremor, ST, and Platinum. Most trims use a turbocharged 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder with 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. The ST and the trail-focused Tremor offer a 3.0L twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 with 400 hp and 415 lb-ft. When properly equipped, every Explorer can tow up to 5,000 lbs, enough for a fishing boat, pop-up camper, or small utility trailer.
For Minnesota winters, filter for Intelligent 4WD, which is available on most trims and standard on the Tremor. Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free highway driving system is standard on the ST and Platinum and available on other trims. The ST and Platinum also include PowerFold third-row seats for quick cargo changes.
Use the filters above to narrow by trim, drivetrain, engine, and color. Check current Explorer offers, value your trade, and estimate a payment. Visit Freeway Ford at 9700 Lyndale Ave S or call 952-260-6206.
