I'm looking for a 2-door '97-'99 RWD Explorer with a 5.0L v8 and an auto tranny. Does such a thing exist? 5.0 Explorers seem to be rare and 2-door Explorers seem to be rare. I have yet to see one that is both.
the only 5.0 i have ever seen are 4 door. My 96 is AWD i'm not sure about the newer ones with V8 as for rear drive or AWD but i bet there are no 2 door versions
They never offered the V8 in the Sport model.
In '96 you could get it only on 2wd XLT's, then in '97 you could get them on any 4 door model and be fitted with a full time AWD.
I've never herd of it or seen it but the explorers that have v8s are the 5.0L from 96 to 2001, and all of those you can get in rear wheel drive, but in four door
i love to learn new things too. if you could show me where i could find info on the rear wheel drive V8. i would like to see it. a friend of mine is very interested.
If you really got your heart set on the sport model with a 5.0, you can always get a used one out of a 4 door explorer and put that it, i dont know if the tranny with the 6 is the same as the 8 and if it can handle the six, but doing this your talking about big bucks, but if some how you can find one with a blown engine or tranny, you can get a great deal
