Engines
4.0L SOHC 12V V-6 (Explorer 4-Door, Sport and Sport Trac)
The 4.0L SOHC 12V V-6 is standard on Explorer 4-Door, Sport and Sport Trac
models with manual transmission.
Major features and benefits:
- The SOHC V-6 features one camshaft in each cylinder head (at the top of
each cylinder bank), eliminating the need for pushrods
- The SOHC design provides a significant level of valve control
- Sequential multi-port electronic fuel injection precisely monitors the
fuel delivered to each intake port for efficient operation
- A tuned variable-induction system, in which a vacuum-actuated valve varies
the effective length of the air-intake tracts by separating or combining the
two halves of a split-intake manifold plenum. At lower rpm, the closed valve
separates the intake pulses from each bank of the engine up to the throttle
body, providing a longer effective tract length for better low-speed torque.
At higher rpm, the valve opens, allowing the intake pulses from all
cylinders to combine in the plenum and optimizing high-speed power

Transmissions
5-speed manual overdrive transmission (R1HD)
This 5-speed manual overdrive transmission is standard on Explorer Sport,
Explorer Sport Trac, and Explorer 4-Door.
- A synchronizer in each gear acts as a clutch, speeding up or slowing down
the selected gear to match the speed of the previous gear for smooth
shifting
- First four gears provide optimum performance
- An overdrive fifth gear reduces engine rpm at highway speeds for improved
fuel economy and quiet highway performance
Electronically controlled 5-speed automatic overdrive transmission (5R55E)(1)
This electronically controlled 5-speed automatic overdrive transmission
(5R55E), which contributes to excellent performance, excellent fuel economy and
quiet operation, is available on Explorer, Explorer Sport and Sport Trac.
Features and benefits:
- Uses "swap-shift" technology
- The second gear's precise gear ratios improve the vehicle's ability to
accelerate, climb hills, tow and operate off-road
- When combined with the 4.0L SOHC V-6, this 5-speed automatic transmission
gives the Explorer a 10,000-lb. GCWR
- (1) Driving with a 5-speed automatic transmission (if equipped) - your
automatic transmission electronically controls the shift feel by using an
adaptive learning strategy. This feature is designed to increase durability,
and provide consistent shift feel over the life of the vehicle. It is normal
for a new transmission to shift firmly. This operation is considered normal
and will not affect function durability of the transmission. Once the
vehicle is at operating temperature it may take several shifts at the same
operating condition for the transmission to properly adapt. Over time the
adaptive learning process will fully update transmission operation. The more
varied the driving habits, speed and torque, the longer it may take to adapt
but the more complete the process will be.
- When the battery is disconnected or a new battery installed, the
transmission must learn its adaptive strategy. As a result of this, the
transmission may shift firmly. This operation is considered normal and will
fully update transmission operation to its optimum shift feel.
