Ford in the US will make tyre pressure monitors standard in all its sport utility vehicles (SUVs) by 2005 after being stung by the furor over Firestone tyres linked to fatal accidents in its
Explorers.

Was written 24/1/01 so would say yes.
I guess this is for the US only as my uncle has a 03 top of the line Explorer and it doesn’t have those pressure sensor thingos.
Himm… I guess people don’t know how to use a tyre pressure gauge anymore
“Ford had recommended that the Firestone Wilderness AT tyres on the Explorer be inflated to 26 pounds per square inch n part to improve the stability of the vehicle. ”> Hell I run
mine Coopers at 42-44 most of the time on the Explorer I wouldn’t even contemplate driving at HWY speed at 26 PSI, nothing wrong with the handling at 42 either.
