Today I drove a 180 mile trip in my Gen 2 Explorer. They last stretch was somewhat curve up hill roads. Constant 2500 rpm uphill, pretty much. When we got to our cabin there was a burning smell and some slight smoking according to my family members. I could smell it but didn't see any smoke. One said it was oil another said power steering. I assumed it was transmission fluid because of the bad past of explorer transmissions and the constant up hill load (being similar to towing). Could it be my transmission overheating? Any other ideas guys? Thanks in advance guys. Just worried about my lady. It's the 5 speed auto by the way. 4wd. 4.0 ohv.
