- 2003 Explorer
Hello to all. I have been a Jeep driver for years, but I am now going to buy an Explorer. I have narrowed it down to a 2002 4.0 or 2003 4.6. Both are 97k +/- cars and have the auto 4 wheel drive (not the AWD). I have not seen any regular 4 wheel drive Explorers, they all have the auto, 4 high and 4 low buttons. Both have been towed behind motor coaches for about 25K miles. Any comments as to which is a better motor and what to look out for? Both are adult owned. My use is basically driving around town and occasional use of the 4 wheel on construction job sites with no heavy towing. I like the power of the V8, these trucks drive nicer than Jeeps. The owners do not know if miles are registered on the odometer when towed. They both are older and have not cared about that.???? Should I being doing timing chain/belt replacement at this time? Thanks for any comments.
