Prototype Info: 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 its 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.
