On a 1996 Ford Explorer :

Overdrive is the normally allowed position

It won't shift into overdrive until the speed is greater anyway ( such as on the

highway or freeway , my 1995 Explorer XLT doesn't shift into overdrive until I'm

going 50 MPH / 80 KPH )

If you are towing something , or if you are driving in hilly country where the

transmission is constantly shifting back and forth from overdrive to drive , then

you want to shut the overdrive off using the transmission control switch on

the end of your gear selector leaver ( P R N etcetera ) and the O/D OFF

light will light up in your dash
