because the motor is off center, plus to clear the fuel tank with the driveshaft, but probably mostly due to the need for clearance for the 4WD system

even a mustangs motor is off set, if your axels are the same width, that means the pinion is not in the centerline of the car, so the motor has to be offset. In my car the motor is about 1" to the passenger side.

Offset mainly for gas tank clearance. Its a byproduct of the old rangers that started the trend.
