All-disc brakes now were available, with a trailer towing package or new all-speed traction control. Seatbelts got new automatic locking retractors. In midyear, a tip-slide feature for the driver's seat became available, to allow passengers to enter the middle row of seats from the driver's side.
1997 Ford Windstar:
A lower-priced base model (called Standard) joined the Windstar lineup, with limited option availability.
1998 Ford Windstar:
Changes for '98 included a wider driver's door that allowed easier access to the middle and rear seat and new front styling. A line-topping Limited model was also added. Windstar was redesigned for '99.
