The first-generation Ford Explorer was sold by Mazda from 1991 until 1994 as the '''Mazda Navajo'''. Offered solely in a three-door configuration, only minor design details differed the Navajo from its Ford counterpart.

In the early 1990s, SUVs transitioned into alternatives to station wagons, leading to a decline in demand for two-door SUVs. After the 1994 model year, Mazda withdrew the Navajo, returning in 2000 with the four-door [[Mazda Tribute|Tribute]] (a counterpart of the [[Ford Escape]]).
