Fords first front-drive minivan went on sale as an early 1995 model. Windstars came in one size, with a sliding right rear door and a one-piece liftgate. Dual airbags, antilock brakes, and seating for seven were standard. Windstars 120.7-inch wheelbase was the longest of any minivan. At 201 inches overall, it measured 8.2 inches longer than a Grand Caravan, and about 11 inches longer than a Mercury Villager. Cargo volume is 144 cubic feet. GL and upscale LX models held a 155-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 engine. All models used a 4-speed electronic automatic transmission. Standard towing capacity was 2000 pounds, but a 3500-pound towing package became optional later.
