I currently own a 98 AWD explorer, and am looking to upgrade. I saw a very nice 2003 V8 AWD XLT explorer for 11k with only 45k on the dash at a local dealer. I am very familiar with all the problems with my generation explorer, but not so much the newer ones. Is 2003 the last year they offered AWD as an option? How reliable is the 4.6 V8 vs the 5.0 i have now? Does the 2003 model have the same AWD transmission as my 98, and are there any known problems with it? I love how rock solid my engine and transmission are. Shes a tank but time for a new explorer! Any opinions and comments would be much appreciated.
Thanks
