- 2000 Explorer XLT
My 95xlt has finally had it so I'm looking for a replacement. I love the 2nd gen explorers. Thier off road capability, reliability and strenth. And also how you can get a 2" lift for under $50. He'll my 95 has been on fire and under water in one trip (long story) and still drove home. The problem is most 2nd gen explorers for sale have a billion miles on them and are between 19-13 years old. And I live in the northeast so all have rust. The one I'm looking at now is a 96 with 185k and some body rust.
What are your opinions of 3rd gen explorers? Thier rear suspensions and drive terrain concern me. Look more closely related to minivans then truck.
I want a truck not a damn school bus. Should I stick with the 2nd gen or would the 3rd gen (after 01) not disappoint?
