The redesigned Ford Explorer (http://autoblog.com/ford/explorer) is already selling quite well, and it looks like the three-row crossover is about to add another variant to boost the bottom line a little more. Ford (http://autoblog.com/ford/) posted on its Facebook page a 26-second video that teases a high-performance version of the Explorer.

The video show only a mesh grille, a beefy exhaust and what appears to be body-color wheels. There's not much else we can share about the brawny family hauler, but we think it's safe to speculate that an EcoBoost 3.5-liter V6 with 350 or so horsepower lies in waiting under the hood of this Explorer Sport.

The good news about this tease is that we won't have to wait long to see the finished product. Ford tells us that the powerful CUV will be officially unveiled on the Ford Explorer Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/FordExplorer)on March 28.
