IDENTIFY BEFORE YOU ORDER
Only 4WD Explorers have a rear drive unit. Identify your drivetrain and engine before you request a quote.
| Drivetrain and engine | Rear differential | Before you request a replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Front-wheel drive (2.3L or 3.5L V6) | No rear differential | FWD Explorers have no rear drive unit, so this part does not apply. Check your VIN or badge. |
| Intelligent 4WD, 2.3L EcoBoost | Rear drive unit (differential) | Match the axle code on the door-jamb label and the part number on the unit. |
| Intelligent 4WD, 3.5L V6 | Rear drive unit (differential) | Ratios can differ by engine. Match the axle code, not just the model year. |
| 3.5L EcoBoost (Sport) | Rear drive unit (4WD only) | Sport models were 4WD only. Match the EcoBoost application before ordering. |
Axle ratios vary by engine and package. The door-jamb label and the tag on the unit confirm yours. Sources: Automotive Fleet: 2016 Ford Explorer 4WD; Ford Explorer (Wikipedia); CDOT research: Magnesium chloride and vehicle corrosion.
Colorado uses magnesium chloride deicer, and CDOT’s own research found it can be more corrosive than road salt in humid conditions. Ask for photos of the housing, cover, mounts and electrical connector before you commit.

ADS Auto Part helps Denver, Colorado customers source used 2016 Ford Explorer rear differentials from owned inventory and suppliers. Match the engine and axle code on a 4WD model, check the unit for corrosion, and confirm availability, the delivered quote and freight to your Denver ZIP code before ordering.
Before you buy a used Ford Explorer differential, have your technician rule out the PTU, half-shafts and wheel bearings. Noise from the back is not always the rear unit.
PLAN DELIVERY BEFORE THE REPAIR
Snow can slow freight on the Front Range. If you need the Explorer back before a trip or a storm, tell us your deadline so we can confirm whether the timing is realistic.
Ask for shipping eligibility, any delivery services or charges, and dispatch and transit estimates in writing. Book the install once arrival is confirmed.
Review the applicable return terms and the written warranty before purchase.
