Ford uses their own FWD-based AWD but it works similar to Haldex. On my wife's Explorer Sport is stays in AWD under 30mph, then switches to slip&grip FWD above that. Supposedly it can send 100% of torque to the rear wheels if needed but might just be Ford marketing BS.
The previous Explorer? The current one is rwd.

But yeah, frequent Haldex marketing fluff says 100% to the rear, but they really just mean 100% of the available 50%.

The Bronco Sport apparently has the old Focus RS setup which does have the ability overdrive the differential for short periods and can send about 60% to the back.
