It is a true pleasure to drive and very simple to maintain. This weekend alone I just did a 750 mile round trip to the coast of Delaware out of Pittsburgh. I have taken in on many trips throughout Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. I really wanted it because it was a first generation, had a lot of new parts, and wasa 5-speed. Four-wheel-drive front axles were the TTB ('Twin Traction Beam') Dana 35 withsome Dana 44components.īackground InformationI purchased this 1991 Ford Explorer from a mechanic in Virginia. All Explorers were equipped withthe Ford 8.8 axlein either a limited slip differential, or open version with a variety of available gear ratios. Both were 'shift-on-the-fly' designs that allowed the SUVs to be shiftedfrom two-wheel driveto 'four-high' at any speed and into 'four-low' when the vehicle was stopped. The 13–54 was available with either 'Touch Drive' electronic push-button shifting or manual lever-operated shifting. The four-wheel drive versions were equipped witha Borg Warner13–54 part-time four-wheel drive transfer case. Like the Bronco II it replaced, it was an SUV derivative ofthe Rangerpickup, thus Explorers came equipped with many of the Ranger's optional features. First generation Explorers were equipped with the then new 155HP (116kW) 4.0L Cologne V6, manufactured in Cologne, German.Vehicles came with either Ford's own 4-speed A4LD automatic transmission, built in France, or Mazda's 5-speed M5OD manual transmission.
