All Wheel Drive

The 2000 Ford Explorer AWD Eddie Bauer Edition with a 5.0-liter V8 engine produces approximately 305 horsepower. This engine is paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission and offers a blend of power and utility typical of SUVs from that era. The vehicle is known for its capability and comfort, making it a popular choice among midsize SUVs at the time.
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.
The 2014 Ford Explorer is available in both front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations. The base models typically come with FWD, while higher trims offer AWD as an option. The choice between FWD and AWD allows for better traction and handling in various driving conditions.
