The Ford Explorer Sport, produced from 1995 to 2001, was a performance-oriented trim level of the popular Ford Explorer SUV. Building on the established ruggedness and practicality of the standard Explorer, the Sport model aimed to deliver a more engaging driving experience by incorporating a range of enhancements. These included a more powerful engine, a sport-tuned suspension, and unique styling elements that set it apart from its standard counterpart. The Explorer Sport was powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine, generating 210 horsepower and 285 lb-ft of torque, providing it with a significant performance advantage over the standard Explorer. Its sport-tuned suspension, featuring stiffer springs and shocks, delivered a more responsive and engaging driving feel, while maintaining the SUV's capability on rough terrain. The Sport model also featured unique design cues, such as a distinctive grille, fog lamps, and body-color bumpers, that further emphasized its athletic character. The Explorer Sport's appeal lay in its ability to combine the practicality of an SUV with the performance of a sports car. It offered spacious seating for five passengers, ample cargo space, and the capability to tackle off-road terrain, while also delivering a thrilling and engaging driving experience on paved roads. The Sport trim level proved to be a popular choice for those seeking a more dynamic SUV, and its legacy continues to be appreciated by enthusiasts who value its unique blend of performance and practicality. However, like many vehicles from its era, the Explorer Sport was subject to certain reliability concerns, particularly related to its 5.0-liter V8 engine and its transmission. These issues are often addressed in detail within its workshop service repair manual, which serves as an essential resource for owners and mechanics alike, offering detailed instructions and technical specifications for maintaining and repairing the vehicle.
