What Does "Limited" mean

[rcapi]

Hi All,

Newbie here. I just got a 1997 Explorer. It's a 2WD XLT model.
How can I tell if it's got the Limited package? What does it consist of?
Thanks all in advance.

Yours isn't a limited. The models go from xls, to xlt, then eddie bauer, and finally the top of the line limited.

Thanks!

Hello and thanks for the information!

Correction.. On the 1995-1997, they went XL, XLT, Eddie Bauer, Limited. XLS wasn't available until I believe 99 or was it 98? Dunno.

didnt XLS replace XLT?

I thought XLS was the sport and XLT was the four door? Either way...Welcome to Explorer Forum!

The XLS I have seen were a 4 door with sport type trim level. Nerf bars and flares-

I see. Thats really goofy, thank you ford!!

From '91 to '97 it was XL, XLT, Eddie Bauer and Limited. In '98 XLS replaced XL. Up until 2001 or 2002 all Sports I think were just Sports I think. Then in '02 or '03 they started designating the base Sports XLS Sports.

It should be called an Unlimited if it has everything possible...

Actually let me revise that slightly. I don't think they started making Limiteds until 1993?

Yea, limited didn't start till '93 and XLS replaced XL in '98. Other than that I think you got it right! there were a few other models such as the XLT Sport('99-'05ish), NBX.

Most of the other options besides the air-ride was (I believe- correct me if I'm wrong) available in the other trim levels in some form or fashion, especially as the trim levels increased- some of the options were not available at all in the lower trim levels that were options on the upper levels, and standard on the Limited. I have leather and a moonroof in my '95 XLT.

Basically Ford's way to get you to spend mucho cash for a "standard feature vehicle" instead of optioning up a lower trim level truck for most of the stuff.
