When did they start driver side airbags?

[SilverPony2001]

Looking to buy a older used 4x4 explorer for my winter car, and was wondering what year did they start with the driverside airbags?

Thanks!

pretty sure it was with the new steering wheels introduced with the 95 redesign

I believe that is correct. '95.

Yep! '95 was the first year Ford made the Explorers with not only a driver's side, but passenger's side airbags.
