Do all 2001 Ford Explorer Sport models have 4-wheel drive--Is this what the overdrive feature is?

Not all 2001 Ford Explorer Sport models have 4-wheel drive. Some models were produced with rear-wheel drive only. The overdrive feature is not the same as 4-wheel drive.

Overdrive is a transmission setting that allows the engine to run at a lower RPM while the vehicle is in motion. This can save gas and reduce engine wear. 4-wheel drive, on the other hand, is a drivetrain system that allows power to be sent to all four wheels of the vehicle. This can provide better traction and control in slippery or off-road conditions.
