Wilderness Explorer 1991 Tank Top

The '91 Explorer was launched with great fanfare as the blue oval's first entry into the then-new sport utility vehicle market, and while the four-door model has long proved itself most popular, the two-door version has always had a steady following. Available with either a rear-wheel or four-wheel drivetrain, the Explorer Sport’s sole power plant was a 4.0-liter single overhead cam V-6 engine. Producing 203 horsepower and 237 pound-feet of torque, the Explorer Sport provided buyers a choice between a five-speed manual transmission and a five-speed automatic. The rear leaf spring rear suspension on the Sport proved popular with off-road minded drivers, and was a feature that was retained on Sports even after four door models had moved on.
