| The Ford®
Explorer is a mid-size sport utility vehicle sold in North America
since 1990, essentially making the SUV, a special-interest vehicle
at the time, one of the most popular vehicle types in the market
today.
First generation
Ford® Explorers (1991-1994) were equipped with a 4.0 L 155
hp V6 engine and 4-speed A4LD automatic transmission or 5-speed
M5OD manual transmission. 15 hp was added for the 1993 edition
for a total of 170 hp. Much like it's predecessor, the Bronco
II, the Ford® Explorer was derivative of the Ford® Ranger
Pickup, but larger. It came in both 2-door and 4-door bodystyles
and was available with rear or four-wheel drive. Explorers came
in 4 trim levels: base XL, XLT, Sport (only available on the two-door
version), and the upscale Eddie Bauer Edition. The Limited edition,
added for 1993, was available only in the 4-door style and was
even more upscale than the Eddie Bauer version.
Coming in
a range of prototypical colors, these vehicles will look right
at home parked in front of our garage kits, out on the streets
of your layout, or, for layouts based in late 1992 and on.
