yeah, the 4x4 works great, with the 4.10s and 33's and the granny low in the ZF, low range really crawls. Had to use it a couple times actually.
I am super pleased with the milage. This is truck is actually cheaper to drive than my explorer was, even with the higher cost of diesel. If I have both tanks full, I have a 7-800 mile range. Plus I have the advantage of an 8ft truck bed and being able to tow almost anything I want. The extended cab is nice too, anything I want to keep dry I can throw back there, and its within easy reach.
I plan on adding a toolbox after my next paycheck.
This actually will be very useful in the next few months as I am in the process of moving to the Anniston, AL area for my new job.
I probably should start another thread on this, but this way all my stuff is in one place.

so update. My new home in Anniston is within 2 hours of 3 very nice off road parks. So in short, this means the explorer is going to become a buggy very soon. Still haven't settled with the insurance (They offered me 1200 for it, not happening, worth way more than that) but once that is taken care of life will be good. Going to do it the easy way, find a bigger set of tires and cut anything they touch. Not worried about streetable, since I now have a nice tow rig.

finally got the insurance straightened out, and now I can do whatever with the explorer.
Btw here is what I hit, after the fact.
Here is the truck with the new wheels and tires
