Needed something with a V8 to pull some things around...and this is the deal I found. It feels good to own a piece of LAP's history...and it's a nice unit. Not to mention it even has FIRESTONES on it. Having the fuel economy of my 2011 Fusion and this to wheel around the farm and pull things is much better than the daily driver V10 I got rid of at Christmas. Long live the Explorer!!!

Don't Knock the Jeep!! American Union Made. I've got a 91 that has well over 300,000 miles on it that I've been driving since 95

Not mine...but as Jr. pointed out, I have to give credit where credit is due...that thing is a beast. It has 216000 on it just keeps going and going and going...that inline 4.0 may be 2nd to my fav...the 5.0.

Love the sound of the turbo when you back off of the throttle.

I loved our explorer and that is a good looking one you bought scott. Get those step sides off though, it looks better and if you are using it on the farm you never know when you may need the ground clearance. Those steps are for grocery getters.
