Actually there are many cars that don't follow that logic. Some cars have 2 plugs per cylinder for increased power and also to pass emmissions tests. Things are different now then they used to be.

Replacing Spark plugs

Yeah. The new Dodge's Hemi uses 2 plugs a cylinder concept. So if you're changing plugs on a Dodge Ram, you need to replace all 16 of them, plus the wires. It's gonna cost a fortune.

Actually, there is a much easier way to R & R the spark plugs on an Explorer. If you lift and remove the flexible flap inside the wheelwell by popping off the plastic rivets(carefully) you will have all the room in the world to access the plugs over the top of the wheels. It may also work on the Ranger.
Good tip!!! but If it doesn´t work, buy one haynes manual in a autozone or pepboys store! this book sure tell you how to do it!!
