Ford Explorer Engine Specs: The Explorer Limited comes outfitted with a 4.0 liter, 6-cylinder motor that uses 12 valves. The engine, manufactured by Ford, is teamed up with a Ford 4-speed transmission. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Ford.

The Explorer uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. Steering is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The truck uses coil and leaf springs front and rear respectively.

Explorer Limited Statistics

The Explorer is 184.30 inches long, 70.20 inches wide, and 67.30 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 111.90 inches. It is able to seat 5 comfortably.

The standard warranty period for the Explorer is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the sport utility market.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $25,555 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-average price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Sport Utility.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 1994 Explorer is a traditional EFI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 19.30 gallons.

The Explorer Limited received a miles-per-gallon rating of 15 - 17 in-city driving and 20 - 21 when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green truck, this was subpar.

Conclusion

There are several reasons why the Ford Explorer Limited sold well in 1994. Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Ford, specifically a Explorer.
