Personally I would stay away from Explorers. They are nice while they run but pop a head gasket and you are replacing the heads. The 4wd unit on them is ok not outstanding either. Transmissions are fair, do not tow with them unless you have the v8 model, the v6 tranny will blow up on you and they suck to replace. The electronics in them is fair with the usual culprit starting with the power windows, then it just grows slowly.
