Any quicker than the recommended repair manual way? Pull the hood, disconnect all the hoses and wire looms, remove transmission, remove starter, disconnect engine mounts, then hook up the spreader bar and lifting brackets to a engine hoist/cherry picker and pull engine. Best to follow the guide; here is a PDF file for a 2006 Explorer w/4.0: (cut and paste) https://drive.google.com/open?id=1mBgIO_6D3ruX8S8teyqQs9qk4uLOe1V1

Well there's always the scrap metal yard's method, which involves a front end loader, large chain, and cutting torch.
