Can anyone tell me how to determine what my rear axle ratio might be. 3.27?
3.55? or 3.73? I have a 97 explorer sport 2 door 4x4 and want to know towing
capability. Can it be found out with the Vin?

What does it say under "Axle" on the driver's door sticker?

D1 - 3.27 limited slip
D2 - 4.10 limited slip
D4 - 3.73 limited slip

41 - 3.27 conventional
42 - 4.10 conventional
45 - 3.55 conventional
46 - 3.73 conventional

Thanks for the info Fred,

I have D2 on my door sticker which you say is 4:10 limited slip. According to
my owner's manual, that gear is only offered on 4 door models. I guess that
explains my bad gas milage.

Thanks again,
Jim
