I don't know if it's a part of the Explorer package or not. I am going to do a little digging.

Red I found this and covers all ford trucks. I copied what it has for our trucks.

For 1982–1986 the trim packages were:
  • Base - basically the same as the Custom of the previous years.
  • XL - replaced the intermediate Ranger trim for 1982 as the Ranger name would be used for Ford's new compact truck.
  • XLS- a new trim level that featured a blacked-out grille, bumpers, headlight bezels, and windshield trim. It also featured a stripe graphics package and black and silver dash trim. Available exterior colors were red, silver, and black.
  • XLT Lariat- featured floor carpeting, color-keyed headliner, a standard chrome grille, and optional power windows/door locks. In 1985 the tailgate trim was changed to a "flat" full width aluminum with a red "reflector" towards the bottom with chrome FORD letters.
  • Explorer - Was basically a step up from the XL line. The "Explorer" trim line received a higher geared rear end, an AM/FM radio, Chrome bumpers, Chrome fender well trim, and a chrome grill. The Explorer Line would later be dropped to introduce the Ford Explorer SUV in 1991.
