Hi guys, I'm considering buying a newer explorer. Although I really like mine and its nice to not have a payment, it needs balljoints, the slave cylinder needs replaced, i am losing the battle against rust and i am getting sick of the underpowered 4.0 ohv. I'll looking at the 99 to 2001 explorers and i'm wondering if there is anything i should look for and watch out for. there is a good car dealer here that always has several around those years with low mileage and varying levels of trim. Any known issues with those years, such as weak auto tranny or underpowered motor, I'm also not sure if it has the ohv or sohc motor. Does the v8 awd have also have an option for true 4x4 and 4x4 low. I like the fact that it has a v8 but i'm hestiant to get somethign without true 4x4. I like lots of power so should i go with a 2 door sohc or the 4 door awd v8. I know theres a lot of questions in there but any advice would be apprecaited.
