. Mercurys upscale Mountaineer is similarly revamped, but with more-differentiated styling. Explorer offers V6 and V8 engines; the V6 teams with manual or automatic transmission, the V8 with automatic only. With either, the automatic is a 5 speed. Available is rear-wheel drive or Fords Control Trac 4WD that can be left engaged on dry pavement and includes low-range gearing. Antilock 4-wheel disc brakes are standard. Torso side airbags are unavailable, but curtain side airbags are optional and at midyear, added sensors designed to deploy them in a rollover accident. Also made available midyear on V8-equipped XLT, Eddie Bauer, and Limited models was an optional antiskid system. Rear-obstacle detection is also optional. Standard on Eddie Bauer and Limited are driver-seat memory, tilt/telescopic steering wheel, and power-adjustable pedals. Sold alongside this redesigned 4-dr wagon are the Explorer Sport Trac crew cab and Explorer Sport 2-dr wagon, both using Explorers 1995-vintage design (see separate entry).

The Bottom Line:
This is my first Ford - and will not be my last!
Oh my goodness do I love my Explorer??? Yes I certainly do!! I made the switch from the horribly made 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada to this piece of artwork. Had always heard 'fix or repair daily' and was scared to buy a Ford. I own the Limited version and it is everything I could have asked for. Enough leg room front and back, enough head room for the tall men in my family, enough elbow room, superior sound system, convenient audio controls on steering wheel. The only thing i wished this model came standard is a CD/cassette player. It comes standard with a 6-CD player. But sometimes you need your cassette player! It also needs a storage area overhead if you have a sunroof. Parking is easy and if you get the Pearl White you look pretty darn good driving it! Fully loaded with features.
