Our 1995 Explorer had an easy-to-read instrument panel with fully illuminated controls and switches, along with new seat trims, upholstery styles and door panels (leather on the Limited). The steering wheel had lighted speed-control switches, enabling us to easily use cruise control in low-light conditions without putting ourselves in danger.Also new this year are large-bezel radio controls with much larger rotating knobs and push-button selectors. They?re a great deal easier to use than the previous small-chassis radio controls.
The Explorer?s floor pan mounts a revised slide bar for the seat tracks. And there is an additional 12-volt power point for electronic accessories.
An optional console between the front bucket seats contains cupholders, a message center, a small storage compartment, a tissue dispenser, and ashtray, a set of rear radio controls, a designated space for the optional 6-CD changer, and space for an optional Ford Electronics flip-out, voice-actuated cellular phone.
One version of the optional center console even has a hot-and-cold air blower with upper and lower registers. All of the plastic interior trim panels have been redone and have a richer, more integrated look.
