Do I have a limited slip or an open on my 05 explorer? It's a 4x4 eddie bauer 4.6. Has advtrc obviously as it is a standard feature now...i heard the open is put on it, but the brakes make it act like a limited slip on front and rear....Is it good off-road...as good as a l/s? Is advancetrac really a good stability and traction feature? thansk

Limited slip was discontinued for '05 when AdvanceTrac was made standard.

does the Advancetrac do a decent job at making the front and rear limited slip?

This is from Ford's website:

"AdvanceTrac™ Interactive Vehicle Dynamics is an interactive yaw control system that helps improve the stability of the vehicle in extreme driving situations. It does this by comparing the driver’s intent with the reality of the driving experience."

Not sure if that means it can control wheel spin, like on a slippery boat ramp.
