No, Explorer is just a Trim Package introduced in '68-'86 for F-Series trucks.
..........
The Explorer Package was a seasonal package, and is super goober awesome, and was available in the Spring. It was different every year. The Explorer package Either had the Ranger Package or the Custom Package added onto it. It should say Explorer on the Bedside, And Ranger on the GloveBox.
----------------------------------
The Ranger-XLT Package was the top of the line from 1970-1977.
And if you got it with a '73-'76 you got a really cool Red XLT Grille Badge.
------------------------------------
There was also a Ranger, a Custom, and in '78 the Ranger Lariat replaced the Ranger-XLT as the Top of the Line.
Now, For some Brochures....
What color is your Explorer....?
They Were available in a couple color, such as "Jade Green"
& "Grabber Blue" Which was first introduced in '71 or '72 on Passenger Cars...(If I remember correctly)
as well as "Burnt Orange"
As well as "Bright Lime"
The Explorer Package had A,B,C,D packages...Package D was just a Topper.
Here is a '79 Brochure advertisin' some of the Trim Packages I talked about.

Sure, I can post the '76 Brochure, but it doesn't have Explorer's in it.
As the Explorer varied from year to year.
Want more Explorer Picture's, I've got TON's.
