- '96 XLT 5.0 AWD
I recently found this forum because I was looking for information about the front suspension on my green '96 XLT 4.0 4x4. I started looking for a new truck because I'm moving and don't have the time or tools or garage space necessary to do the exstensive front end work. It's going to a wholesaler for $600 because even at $750 I couldn't find anyone serious about buying it. So then......
I found this gem in less than 2 days! A white '96 XLT 5.0 AWD with 151k for $2,500. It's been garaged, very well cared for and maintained. A brand new trans was installed by a Ford dealership just over 40k ago. It's in fantastic condition inside and out, has a sunroof and the A/C blows freezing cold. The difference between the v6 and v8 is tremendous, and the truck feels smooth and solid with new shocks/leaf springs in the rear and good front suspension. I'm so glad to remain an Explorer owner. If there's anything special I should know about the AWD version of the truck please let me know.
