On vans with two-tone paint, bumpers were now painted completely body-color; gray bumpers were still fitted to single-color Aerostars. Other changes were made as Ford introduced new safety features to the Aerostar.
The interior received a major redesign as Ford added a driver airbag as standard equipment; 3-point seatbelts on all outboard seats were also added.
With the addition of the airbag, Ford took the opportunity to make major changes to the dashboard. The design and layout of the controls was changed to improve ergonomics, while the gauge panel, climate controls, and other minor controls wipers, headlights were replaced with parts common to other Ford vehicles. The gear selector for the automatic transmission moved from the floor to the steering column; a floor console with cup holders and a coin holder took its place.
In Aerostars with analog instruments, a digital odometer was added. The placement of the radio controls stayed the same, but the faceplate was updated from the mids design. As with the model, the Aerostar was offered in a cargo van and three different trim levels for the 7-passenger minivan.
An exception is , the final year; all versions except the XLT and the cargo van were discontinued. The standard engine for second-generation Aerostars is the 3. All-wheel drive was continued as an option through the end of production. Only two versions were sold: the cargo van and the XLT-trim wagon. Ford called the passenger version of the Aerostar the Wagon and the cargo version the Van; the wagon came in 3 trim levels and both Wagons and Vans were available in two lengths. Aside from the lack of windows and trimmed interior, Aerostar cargo vans differed little from Aerostar wagons.
One externally visible difference was the use of rear double doors instead of a hatch. On these, the license-plate opening was American-sized instead of the wagon's European-sized one the cargo van was not exported. The Aerostar Van did not catch on as a base for conversion vans either. The Van was sold with any available engine and came in both standard and extended lengths.
The XL was the standard trim for the Wagon. It also was the most popular model early on in the Aerostar's life. The XL was available in both body lengths; any engine was available, but only in rear-wheel drive.
The XLT was available in either body length and could be ordered with any engine although few were specified with the smallest engine available. The XLT was available in both rear and all-wheel drive the latter, from — The Aerostar was one of the first Fords as of , the only van to be branded in Eddie Bauer trim.
Eddie Bauer trim combined the features of the XLT with two-tone exterior paint tan as the accent color on the rocker panels and wheel trim and a tan outdoors-themed interior.
As on the XLT, cloth seating surfaces were standard, but after , leather seats became an option. One usually overlooked feature of the option package is that the middle and rear bench seats would fold out flat converting the two bench seats into a bed, though quad seats "captain's chairs" were often ordered as an option. The Eddie Bauer was available in either body length; the extended-length version was far more popular.
It was offered only with the largest engine, so only the versions came with a 3. Like the XLT, there was choice of rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, with the latter proving very popular. In , to counter Chrysler's "Grand" extended-length minivans, Ford added roughly 14" behind the 3rd seat to create an extended-length model. The Aerostar's " wheelbase was unchanged, as it was already longer than any car that Ford sold at the time. With the additional cargo space, this version quickly overtook the standard length version in sales.
From to However, this was an cosmetic upgrade only; the hp Vulcan V6 was still under the hood of XL versions with this option.
