I am stuck between ordering a Eddie Bauer or the Premier Mountaineer. You seem to get more equipment with the Mercury for the same money. The only difference I see is the drive train one is 4wd and the merc is awd. For everyday use and boat trailering is the merc awd system adequate with having no intentions of going off road. Is it good in the snow and when it goes into awd do you know it is in awd. My 99 explorer has the v-8 and 2wd with limited slip and was great for towing but now we have a bigger boat and could use some more wheels turning to pull out of a wet ramp. Thanks in advance for your replies.
