The 2026 Ford Explorer gives drivers in Detroit Lakes a choice of two turbocharged engines. The 2.3-liter EcoBoost I-4 puts out 300 horsepower and uses direct fuel injection. When you go with rear-wheel drive (RWD), this engine earns up to 29 mpg on the highway. If you want more muscle, the 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 twin-turbo pushes out 385 horsepower. Both engines feature auto start-stop technology that saves gas at red lights.
Every trim level gets a 10-speed automatic transmission for quick and efficient gear changes. The ST trim takes things further with paddle shifters and SelectShift, letting you control when gears change. You can pick between RWD or automatic full-time 4-wheel drive (4WD) on most trims. The Tremor trim adds a mechanical limited slip differential that helps tires grip on rough roads. Check out the 2026 Ford Explorer to see these features for yourself.
Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS come standard on every model. Brake assist and hill hold control add extra safety when driving around Minnesota. Electric power-assist steering adjusts based on how fast you go, making turns feel natural at any speed.
