V8 explorers???

[exploder_bp]

I was just wondering if Ford made a V8 Explorer that was 2wd??? I'm asking because I want to put an Explorer V8 in my Sport.

Thanks

Yes, I believe there were 96-98 V8 Explorers available with 2wd.

yup, I KNOW 97 had a 2wd v8, cos I looked at getting one, but I got the clone instead mines 2wd

I could have had 2WD when I bought my '99 V8 AWD.

Heh...actually, Ford introduced the V8 in mid-'96 as a 2WD only. 4WD nor AWD were available. According to them, they couldn't find enough space to put the 4WD hardware in there. I guess they finally found space in '97 b/c that's when AWD was optional on the V8 models.

ummm, are you sure about that? im fairly certain that Expo5.0 has a 96 5.0 AWD..., not that im doubting you, i just seem to remember expo and i having a conversation and he told me he always assumed MINE was AWD, since his was... and im sure his is a 96...

i have a 96 5.0 with AWD...

Oh, my bad, I guess they found a way to put AWD in toward the end of '96 MY.
