What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2019 Ford Explorer

Your Explorer drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Ford, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2019 Ford Explorer, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Ford's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2019 Ford Explorer drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Ford Explorer may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.
