Powertrain Options and Availability
In 1990, Aerostar's 3.0-liter V6 developed 145 horsepower and was available with either 5-speed manual shift or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The new 4.0-liter V6, rated 152 horsepower, came only with a heavy-duty 4-speed automatic transmission and was standard in 4WD models. The 4-wheel-drive system introduced in 1990 was permanently engaged. Under normal conditions, one-third of the engine's torque is sent to front wheels and two-thirds to the rear. A center differential locks in a 50-50 split if wheelspin is detected. Manual shift disappeared after '94.
