Hello everyone! I've been deliberating for a while, and have decided that I want to buy an explorer as a weekend adventure vehicle for me and the family. I want to be able to tow a small trailer, get my partner, 1 year old and me around comfortably, and get up some decently difficult 4x4 routes for hiking and camping.
I'm still a noob with mechanics and 4x4ing, but I would like to start learning on an explorer. from what I've read on the forum, second gen explorers are easier to lift than their predecessor due to having a solid axle. It also helps that I love the look of the second gens.
My questions are:
should I be specific in what I'm looking for in a second gen for this purpose? Any red flags to look out for when buying? Does matter if it's manual or auto? I've found what looks like a promising deal that I would like to check out, how does it look to you guys?
