2000 Explorer AWD Limited 5.3L 8 CYL City MPG 14 Highway MPG 20. Information from my window sticker.
All Wheel Drive
The fuel filter on a 2000 Ford Explorer 5.0 XLT AWD is located on the driver side under the body a foot or so in front of the fuel tank and not on the frame as stated in some other answers.
I have a 1997 awd v8 ford explorer. It gets stuck in park and is very hard to get unjammed.
215hp @ 4200 rpm
All 4x4's Ford Expeditions are not AWD... I have a 1998 Ford Expedition XLT and it has (2H/AWD/4L/4H). But, my brother has a 2000 Ford Expediton EB (AWD/4L/4H).
I would assume the 1997 Ford Explorer is heavier than the 1998 Ford Crown Victoria ( especially if the Explorer is 4X4 or AWD or has the 5.0 liter V8 )
I would suggest the Ford web site.
