Thanks for your advice.
I really haven't been disappointed with the Explorer. I bought it in '05 with 83k miles for $5500. It has 145k on it now. I've replaced the a/c compressor and fiddled with door latches, but haven't had an major problems except that the blend door in the ac/heat box...
Thanks for the input.
I like the style and utility of an SUV. (I once moved a washer and dryer in my X with the hatch closed.) I know SUVs not quick or thrifty, I just don't want to get a gas guzzler or a slug that can't get out of it's own way. 18-20 mpg is okay. I only drive 12k a year...
That should get our attention.
I'm lurking over here from the Explorer forum and would like to know how 4Rs compare to Explorers. I have owned 2 Xs and am considering a replacement for the one I wrecked.
My overall impression is that the 4R is a more reliable more solidly built truck that is...
"Hell! We don't need no stinkin' badges."
What's wrong with you guys? This post has been out for months and no one has a smart-ass come back.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
