I had a '96 V6 Explorer. There would be absolutely no comparison between it's power output and the Runner's 6.
My wife and I constantly comment on how anemic the Ford was and how did we ever put up with it for so long.
That is exactly what has me on the fence. I wish they handled the 3rd row a little better too.
Wouldn't have thought it possible but, Honda managed to out-ugly the Avalanche.
