FORD EXPLORER

Ford Explorer Manufacturer Ford Motor CompanyProduction 1990–presentPredecessor
Ford Bronco IIClass Mid-size SUV (1990–2010)
Full-size crossover SUV (2011–)

The Ford Explorer is a full-size crossover SUV sold in North America and built
by the Ford Motor Company since 1990, as a replacement for the smaller but
related Ford Bronco II. It is manufactured in Chicago, Illinois (it was also
assembled in Hazelwood, Missouri until the plant closed on March 10, 2006). The
Ford Explorer was instrumental in turning the SUV from a special-interest
vehicle into one of the most popular vehicle types on the road. It is marked as
Ford's only mid-sized SUV and is slotted between the larger Ford Expedition and
the smaller Ford Escape. Though the Ford Escape is a crossover and the
Expedition and Explorer are traditional SUVs, Ford considers all three vehicles
to make up their "SUV" portfolio. Their "crossover" portfolio consists of the
Ford Flex and the Ford Edge.

The Explorer has also been involved in controversy, after a spate of fatal
rollover accidents involving Explorers fitted with Firestone tires.

Both two-door Explorer Sport and four-door models of Explorer have been sold.
Part-time four-wheel drive is an available option, and since 1995 this has been
a 'shift on the fly' system with full protection against being engaged at high
speed.

A specially modified Special Service Vehicle version is also available from Ford
Fleet for law enforcement agencies, fire departments, and EMS agencies.

Explorer was also the name of a trim package offered on the Ford F-Series trucks
from 1968 to 1986.

The Explorer was released in March 1990 as a 1991 model. It was equipped with a
4.0 L 155 hp (116 kW) V6 engine and either the 4-speed A4LD automatic
transmission or 5-speed M5OD manual transmission. Like the Bronco II it
replaced, it was an SUV derivative of the Ranger pickup, and came equipped with
many of the Ranger's optional features. Like its direct competitor, the
Chevrolet S-10 Blazer, it was available in both 2-door and 4-door body styles,
and with rear or four-wheel drive. The four-wheel drive versions were equipped
with a Borg Warner 13-54 part-time four-wheel drive transfer case. The 13-54 was
available with "Touch Drive" electronic push-button shifting or manual
lever-operated shifting. Both were "shift-on-the-fly" designs that allowed the
Explorer to be shifted from two-wheel drive to "four-high" at any speed,
although "four-low" was only available when the vehicle was stopped. All
Explorers were equipped with the 8.8 in (22 cm) Ford rear axle in either a
limited slip or open version with a variety of available gear ratios. Four-wheel
drive front axles were the TTB ("Twin Traction Beam") Dana 35 with some Dana
44-spec components.

Explorers initially came in 4 trim levels: base XL, XLT, Sport (only available
on the two-door version), and the upscale Eddie Bauer edition. For the 1993
model year, engine output was increased by 15 hp (11 kW) for a total of 170 hp
(127 kW). The Limited edition, added for 1993, was available only in the 4-door
body style and was positioned at the top of the lineup above the Eddie Bauer
edition. It featured automatic headlights, foglamps, an auto-dimming rear view
mirror, a center roof console with compass and outside thermometer, unique
wheels and grille, and an automatic transmission as standard equipment. Both the
grill and headlight trims on the Limited model were paint-matched to the body
color, unlike the chrome or black versions on other trim levels.

Technically similar to the 4-door Ford Explorer, the 2-door Explorer came in
both rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive variants. It replaced the 2-door Ford
Bronco II, and was larger than the Bronco II. A variant of the 2-door Explorer
Sport was sold by Mazda as the Navajo, which won Motor Trend's Truck of the Year
award but was discontinued in 1994. Many, but not all 2-door Explorers are
badged as Sport models.

Common complaints about the first generation models mostly came from the A4LD
automatic transmission, which was not well-suited for towing and was unable to
cope with higher power output from modified engines; improved fluid cooling
using aftermarket transmission coolers can alleviate these issues. The automatic
locking front hubs also tended to fail prematurely; the manual versions, made
for Ford by Warn, suffered from fewer reliability problems.

The Explorer saw significant exterior, interior and suspension updates in 1995.
The former "Twin Traction Beam" (TTB) front suspension was replaced with a more
carlike independent front suspension. The Explorer lineup now consisted of two
models: 2-door Explorer Sport and the 4-door Explorer. The Limited was a higher
end 4-door. Selectable part-time/full-time ControlTrac 4-wheel-drive débuted
with a two-speed transfer case featuring three-modes, Auto, 4 High and 4 Low.

A 210 hp (157 kW) 5.0 L Windsor V8 engine and heavy-duty 4-speed 4R70W
transmission were added for 1996, along with a "full time" all-wheel drive
system on the Eddie Bauer and Limited in 1997. A more-powerful SOHC 205 hp
(153 kW) V6 engine came as an option in 1997 along with an optional 5-speed
automatic. A Mercury twin, the Mountaineer, was added in 1997 as well. In early
1997, the 5.0 L V8 received new cylinder heads (GT-40P series), which upped
power to 215 hp (160 kw). Since this change was made in the middle of the 1997
release, the 1997 GT-40P equipped Explorers and Mountaineers were dubbed 1997¼
models. The 5.0 L V8 powered Explorer has become favored in the high performance
SUV crowd, with many performance parts available. This is due to the fact that
many aftermarket 5.0 L Ford Mustang parts are interchangeable with the Explorer
variant. Also, the Explorer has aftermarket parts available for it including
superchargers, nitrous kits, and headers. It was the first in its segment to
introduce driver and passenger air bags at once.

1998–2001 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauerview image

The 1995 Explorer was the first production vehicle to use a neon center high
mount stop lamp. This was replaced with a more conventional LED lamp when the
liftgate was refreshed in 1998. A slight change in front end design came in
1999, at which time the XLS name replaced XL as the base model.

Like the basic Explorer, the Explorer Sport was significantly updated in 1995.
The Eddie Bauer trim level was replaced with Expedition on 2-door Explorers
(1995 only, the name would be reused on the 1997 Ford Expedition). The rear was
given a face lift for 1998.

There was a North Face model also introduced, but was exclusive to the UK.

2001 also saw the introduction of the Explorer Sport Trac, which put a small
pickup bed behind the four normal SUV doors.

In 2009, this generation Explorer had five of the top seven spots for vehicles
traded in under the "cash for clunkers" program, with the 1998 model topping the
list.[1] The 1994 model from the previous generation also had the eighth spot on
the list.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac

The 4-door Explorer and companion Mercury Mountaineer were redesigned entirely
in 2002, losing all design similarity with the Ranger while gaining a similar
appearance to the Ford Expedition (the third generation Explorer is even often
confused with the second generation Expedition, having rounded wheel sockets and
"larger" back lights along with a more rounded appearance overall) and the still
in production, second generation inspired Explorer Sport Trac. Engines were
either the 210 hp (157 kW) SOHC 4.0L V6 with 254 ft·lbf (344 N·m) of torque or a
239 hp (178 kW) 4.6 L V8, with the 203 hp (151 kW) 4.0 L still available on the
Explorer Sport. A third-row seat became available for the first time, bringing
total passenger capacity to seven. Both manual and automatic transmissions and
all-wheel drive were available (with 2002 being the last year of being able to
order a 4-door and manual transmission). Trim lines were the base Sport Value,
Sport Choice, XLS, Sport Premium, XLT, Eddie Bauer, and top Limited. AdvanceTrac
with Roll Stability Control were standard for 2005 but an option from 2002 and
on.

Beginning with the 2002 model year, Ford installed a fully independent rear
suspension in the Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer (but not in the 2-door
Explorer Sport). This replaced the non-independent ("live-axle") rear suspension
used in previous model year Explorers. In the fully independent rear suspension
each rear wheel connects to the rear differential via a half-shaft drive axle.
The benefits of a fully independent rear suspension for ride comfort, handling,
and vehicle stability have been known for many years, and many rear- or
4-wheel-drive vehicles (cars and SUVs) use this type of suspension; for example,
the Hummer H1, and the Mercedes-Benz ML SUV. Ford installed the independent rear
suspension in the Explorer beginning with the 2002 model year because of the
well-publicized vehicle rollovers and resulting fatalities that occurred with
previous-edition Ford Explorers. All of the Explorers involved in the rollovers
had non-independent rear suspensions, and many of the vehicles had tires which
Ford judged to be defective (see below).[2]

All three SUVs use code U6 (for rear-wheel drive), U7 (for four-wheel drive),
and U8 (for all-wheel drive) in the 5th, 6th, and 7th positions of the VIN.

When the Explorer was redesigned for 2002, the Explorer Sport continued
unchanged for 1 more year. Due to the decline of 2-door SUVs, the 2-door
Explorer Sport was discontinued in 2003.

Certain 2002 V8 Explorers, using an all-composite intake manifold, are subject
to coolant leaks. Late in 2005 Ford settled a US class action lawsuit.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac

The Explorer and the Mountaineer were updated for 2006 on a new frame, produced
by Magna International rather than Tower Automotive. It was upsized, because the
Ford Freestyle (later called Ford Taurus X), slotted between it and the Escape.
Along with this new, stronger base were a new interior, redesigned rear
suspension, and power-folding third-row seats. A tire-pressure monitoring system
and Electronic stability control are standard. Power running boards (like those
on the Lincoln Navigator) that lower to allow easier to access for someone
entering the vehicle and then later retract upon door closure are available.
Unlike previous Explorers, there will be no right-hand drive version. The new
Explorer is marketed in Japan in a left-hand drive configuration, as LHD
vehicles are considered prestigious there.

Ford reverted to a one piece rear door due to reports of cracks that appeared on
the plastic panel below the rear window. Third-generation Explorers and Mercury
Mountaineers can sometimes be seen with a single crack vertically, close to the
center Ford oval badge.

A 210 hp (157 kW) 4.0 L V6 is the base engine, with the 292 hp (218 kW) 24-valve
V8, similar to the Mustang engine, as the top choice. A six-speed automatic
transmission is available with this engine as well.

The Explorer was nominated for the North American Truck of the Year award for
2006.

A new Sport Trac was added to the Explorer line in early 2006 for the 2007 model
year. Unlike its predecessor sold through 2005, it will feature the V8 engine as
an option, and will be based on the new, larger Explorer platform. AdvanceTrac
with Roll Stability Control will be standard in the Sport Trac.

A special 2007 SVT model called the Sport Trac Adrenalin was to use a
supercharged version of the 4.6 L Modular V8, with 390 hp (291 kW) and featuring
21-inch (530 mm) wheels. It was to be a successor to the F-Series Lightning
pickup. However, it was cancelled in a cost-cutting move, as part of The Way
Forward.[3]

In 2008, Ford added side curtain airbags across the range. The satellite
navigation system was upgraded with voice control.[4] In 2009, the Explorer got
trailer sway control standard and the navigation system got traffic flow
monitoring and gas prices updated from nearby stations.[5] For the 2010 model
year, Ford's MyKey became a standard on all Explorer trims.

EXPLORER AMERICA CONCEPT[]

Ford Explorer America conceptview image

Ford unveiled an Explorer America concept vehicle at the 2008 North American
International Auto Show.[6][7][8] The Explorer America concept is built on a
unibody platform to reduce weight and improve driveability, migrating from the
body-on-frame platform of the fourth generation Explorer. It is designed for up
to six passengers while improving fuel economy by 20 to 30 percent relative to
the current V6 Explorer. The powertrain packages in the concept vehicle include
a two-liter four cylinder turbocharged direct injection EcoBoost gas engine with
275 horsepower (205 kW) and 280 ft·lbf (380 N·m) of torque, and a 3.5 liter V6
version EcoBoost with 340 horsepower (250 kW) and up to 340 ft·lbf (460 N·m) of
torque.[9]

The fifth generation 2011 Explorer takes cues from the Explorer America
concept's construction, and includes a monocoque (unibody) structure based on
the D4 platform, a modified version of the D3 platform.[11][12] The new Explorer
features blacked-out A, B, and D-pillars to produce a floating roof effect
similar to Land Rover’s floating roof design used on its sport utility vehicles.
Ford already uses this floating roof design on the Ford Flex. The Explorer's
C-pillar remains body colored. It also gets sculpted body work with stepped
style headlamps similar to the Flex, Edge, Escape, Expedition and F-150. In
addition, the Explorer receives new stepped style tail lamps. The grille will
receive the corporate three-bar design with upper and lower perforated mesh
work, similar to that of the sixth-generation Taurus.

The Explorer's chief design engineer is Jim Holland, who was also a chief design
engineer for Land Rover. Holland is responsible for the design of the current
generation Land Rover Range Rover (L322). Holland also worked on the outgoing
Ford Expedition (U324) during its initial development.[13]

The fifth generation 2011 Explorer, developed under the U502 program code
name,[14] made its debut online on July 26, 2010. Ford had set up a Ford
Explorer Facebook page ahead of its debut.[15] Assembly of the fifth-generation
Explorer moved to Ford's Chicago Assembly plant, where it is built alongside the
Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS. The Louisville plant, where the previous generation
was built, was converted to produce cars based on Ford's global C platform
(potentially including the Ford Focus, Ford C-Max, and Ford Kuga).[16] Like the
Escape, the Explorer will continue to be marketed as an "SUV" rather than a
"crossover SUV". It went on sale in early 2011; pre-launch sales had by the end
of November 2010 totaled around 15,000.[17]

FEATURES[]

Available features include intelligent access with push button start, remote
engine start, power liftgate, power adjustable pedals with memory, premium
leather trimmed seating, heated and cooled front seats, dual headrest DVD
entertainment system, adaptive cruise control, active park assist, SIRIUS Travel
Link, MyFord Touch, Ford SYNC by Microsoft, Sony audio system with HD radio and
Apple iTunes tagging, in-dash advanced navigation system, SoundScreen laminated
acoustic and solar tinted windshield with rain-sensing wipers, 20-inch polished
V-spoke aluminium wheels, high intensity discharge (HID) headlamps and LED tail
lamps.

CAPABILITY[]

The Explorer is available in either front-wheel-drive or full-time
four-wheel-drive. Only one engine was initially available: a standard 3.5 Liter
TiVCT twin independent variable camshaft timing V6 (290 hp, 255 lb-ft of torque)
mated to a 6-speed 6F automatic with a 6-speed 6F SelectShift automatic as a
option.

A second optional engine will become available in 2011: a 2.0 liter EcoBoost
turbocharged, direct injected I-4 (237 hp, 250 lb-ft of torque) mated to a
6-speed 6F automatic. The I-4 engine will not be available with the optional
6-speed 6F SelectShift automatic and will only be available in front-wheel-drive
form.[18][19]

The Explorer is available with full-time Intelligent four-wheel drive using open
front & rear differentials with 3.39:1 gearing and a electronic center coupling
by Haldex. The electronic center coupling controls the front-to-rear torque
distribution (torque split) between the front & rear drive wheels and acts as a
center differential to allow for full-time operation. The power take off (PTO)
unit has a heavy-duty dedicated cooling system to allow the front drive based,
four-wheel drive system to supply continuous non-stop torque delivery to all
four wheels indefinitely without overheating.[20] "4WD" badging is also included
on the rear liftgate.[21][22] Explorer’s overall off road crawl ratio is 15.19:1
with high range gearing only.

Off road electronics include Hill Descent Control (HDC), Hill Ascent Assist
(HAA), 4-wheel electronic traction control and Terrain Management.

4-wheel electronic traction control (ABS braking) is employed to force the open
front & rear differentials to behave like limited-slip differentials,
transferring torque from side-to-side.[20] In the right conditions, the Explorer
can keep moving even if only one front wheel has traction.

Terrain Management will include four selectable modes. Each mode can be selected
via a rotary control dial on the center console, aft of the transmission
shifter.

Terrain Management System[23] Default start selection: Normal Driving mode
Subsequent modes are selected by turning the control dial clockwise. Second
selection: Mud & Ruts mode Third selection: Sand mode Fourth selection:
Grass/Gravel/Snow mode

Depending on the mode selected, Terrain Management will control, adjust and fine
tune the engine, transmission, electronic center coupling, throttle response,
4-wheel electronic traction control and electronic stability control (ESC) to
adapt the SUV for optimal performance on the corresponding terrain.

Off road geometry figures for approach, departure and ramp brakeover angles are
21°, 21° and 16° respectively.[10] Minimum running ground clearance is 7.6
inches.[10] Standard running ground clearance is 8.2 inches.[24] Low hanging
running boards are no longer offered from the factory to help increase side
obstacle clearance.

Unlike the Explorer America concept vehicle which only seats five occupants, the
production Explorer will have two rows of seating with available PowerFold fold
flat third row seating (like the previous generation) and will be able to
accommodate up to seven occupants.[25]

Moving to a monocoque body usually has a negative impact on towing capacity. The
new Explorer will be available with an optional trailer tow package. The package
includes a Class III trailer hitch, engine oil cooler, trailer electrics
connector, trailer sway control (TSC), wiring harness and a rear view camera
with trailer alignment assistance to help in backing up to a trailer. If
equipped with the trailer tow package the new 2011 Explorer will be able to tow
up to 5,000 lbs (2,268 kg) of braked trailer. That’s 1,500 lbs (680 kg) greater
than the towing capacity stated for the Explorer America concept and 2,115 lbs
(959 kg) less than the outgoing Explorer’s towing capacity, although that was
only available with the 4.6L V8 engine.[26][27]

SAFETY AND SECURITY[]

Safety features include: Dual front adaptive SRS air bags, dual front seat side
impact air bags, dual rear safety belt air bags (available first quarter, 2011)
and side curtain head, torso and rollover protection air bags. Other safety
features include BLIS blind spot information system with cross traffic alert,
collision warning with brake support precrash system, Roll Stability Control
(RSC), Electronic stability control (ESC) and Curve Control.

The fifth-generation Explorer will be the first-ever vehicle to be equipped with
inflatable dual rear safety belt air bags. Air bags are sewn into the inside of
the seat belts, and inflate with cold air to prevent burns. Ford claims it will
be released as an option and to introduce inflatable seat belts on other Ford
models eventually.[28]

AWARDS AND ACCOLADES[]

The current generation Ford Explorer earned the 2011 North American Truck of the
Year award.

EXPLORER SPORT VARIATION[]

The Ford Explorer Sport was a 2-door version of the Ford Explorer, designed to
take the place of the Bronco II in Ford's model line, and was produced from 1991
to 2003. The Sport began as a trim level of the Ford Explorer, but it eventually
became its own model. It rode on a 10" shorter wheelbase. There was only one
Sport, but there were several other trim levels of the Explorer that were
available with 2-doors (edmunds trim levels), such as the XL (1991–1997), the
Eddie Bauer (1991–1994), and the Expedition (1995). In 1998 the Explorer Sport
became the only 2-door trim level of the Explorer, and in 2001 it became its own
model, as the second generation Explorer moved on to a 4-door-only 3rd
generation.

SPECIAL SERVICE VEHICLE[]

To compete with other police SUVs that are sold by other automobile companies,
Ford has made a special version of the Explorer that's only available to law
enforcement agencies, fire departments, and EMS agencies. Ford calls it the
Explorer Special Service Vehicle (SSV). The only differences between the
standard Explorer and the Special Service Vehicle Explorer are provisions for
emergency services related equipment such as radios, lightbars and sirens. There
are also options designated fleet only such as custom 2 tone paint arrangements
that are available to the Explorer Special Service Vehicle.

EXPORT SALES[]

UK MODELS[]

In the UK, the Ford Explorer was initially available as just one model, with the
4.0 litre engine and with a high specification - the only dealer options being
leather interior. In 1998, a facelifted Explorer was available with minor
cosmetic interior changes and a revised rear tail lift which centered the rear
number plate. In 1999 the model range was revamped slightly, the base model
becoming the XLT and a special edition North Face version marketed with a tie in
to North Face outdoor clothing. The North Face version was available in a dark
green or a silver, with body coloured bumpers, heated leather seats and a CD
multichanger as standard. In 2000, the North Face was also available in black.
With the introduction of the all-new platform in 2002, Ford withdrew the
Explorer from the UK market.

CURRENT EXPORTS[]

As of 2009, the Explorer is exported to Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea,
Israel, The Philippines, Russia, Iceland, the Middle East, and certain countries
in South America and Africa.

CONTROVERSIES[]

ROLLOVER AND FIRESTONE TIRE CONTROVERSY[]

Main article: Firestone vs Ford Motor Company controversy

Rollover risk is inherently higher than cars in many truck-based vehicles if
they are driven unsafely, as modification for bulky 4 wheel drive hardware
requires increases in height to avoid compromising ground clearance (raising the
center of gravity), while a short wheelbase further reduces stability. The
previous Bronco II had already been cited by Consumer Reports for rollover
tendencies in turns; as with the Explorer, however, it was cleared by the NHTSA
as being no more dangerous than any other truck when driven unsafely. With a
longer passenger compartment, the Explorer added 600 pounds, but Ford did not
deem it necessary to revise the suspension or tires to carry the bigger load. It
used the same tires as the Ford Ranger with a relatively low rating for high
temperatures. Lowering tire pressure recommendations softened the ride further
and improved emergency stability through increased traction, but increased the
chances of overheating tires. A 1995 redesign with a new suspension slightly
raised the Explorer's center of gravity, but it was called inconsequential by a
Ford spokesman. Memos by Ford engineers suggested lowering the engine height,
but it would have increased the cost of the new design.

In May 2000, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
contacted Ford and Firestone about a higher than normal incidence of tire
failures on Ford Explorers, Mercury Mountaineers, and Mazda Navajos fitted with
Firestone tires (later including Ford Ranger and Mazda B-Series pickup trucks).
The failures all involved tread separation, in which the outer tread carcass
would delaminate and cause a rapid loss of tire pressure. Ford investigated and
found that several models of 15 in (381 mm) Firestone tires (ATX, ATX II, and
Wilderness AT) had higher failure rates, especially those made at Firestone's
Decatur, Illinois plant.

Ford argued that Firestone was at fault, noting that its SUVs and pickups
equipped with Goodyear tires experienced no rollover issues, even when inflated
at low air pressure. By now, most Explorer, Mountaineer, Ranger, B-Series, and
Navajo tires have been replaced, and the rollover reports have subsided, further
lending credit to Ford's position that the design of its vehicles was not at
fault, although the Explorer's manufacturer recommended tire inflation of only
26 pounds per square inch (179 kPa) likely contributed to the tread separation
problem by causing the tires to operate at higher than normal temperatures.

Part of the rollover issue was poor driver reaction to the tire blowout.[29]
When a tire blew, the vehicle would experience a sudden sharp jerk, and many
drivers reacted by counter-steering in an attempt to regain control. This action
would cause a shift of the vehicle's weight, resulting in a rollover especially
at higher speeds (many reports of rollovers were of vehicles being driven at
speeds of 70 mph (110 km/h) and above). In a test simulating dozens of tire
blowouts, Larry Webster, a test-driver for Car & Driver magazine, was repeatedly
able to bring a 1994 Explorer to a stop without a single rollover, even at
speeds of 70 mph (110 km/h).[29][30] According to Forbes magazine, car experts
and NHTSA claim that the vast majority of crash accidents and deaths are caused
not by the vehicle, but by the driver, by road conditions or some combination of
the two.[31]

In response to Firestone's allegations of the Explorer's design defects, NHTSA
undertook a preliminary investigation and reported that further action was not
required. Its conclusion was that the Explorer was no more prone to rollover
than other SUVs given their high center of gravity.[32] The subsequent
introduction and proliferation of electronic stability control systems have
essentially addressed and mitigated this shortcoming.

U-HAUL TRAILERS[]

On December 22, 2003, U-Haul, the largest North American equipment rental
company, announced that they would prohibit their outlets from renting trailers
to persons planning to tow behind Ford Explorers due to liability concerns.[33]
U-Haul did not alter their policies regarding the renting of trailers to persons
planning to tow behind the Mercury Mountaineer, Mazda Navajo or earlier versions
of the Lincoln Aviator, which are all mechanically identical to the Ford
Explorer. Currently, U-Haul still does not allow Ford Explorers to tow their
trailers. All other Ford Motor Company vehicles are allowed to tow U-Haul
trailers.[34]
