Fairly new member here. I've owned three previous Explorers, all leases, and loved them. I'm now in need of a daily vehicle and am considering another Explorer, albeit a used one.
After reading about all the transmission specific problems they had in the time frame years I'm looking at, am I crazy to be considering one???
I'm looking for a 2006-09 model year one, but can't find much with less than 125k on the clock. I did however find an 04' with 67k on it that I might look at.
Should I even bother? Are these vehicles as bad as some sites say they are??
I've also owned Expeditions and have also had good luck with them. I was hoping to downsize to an Explorer though, but now I don't know....
Any comments?
