going to buy soon, is one style better than others

[timmy96815]

Hello again everybody. I posted like a year ago and was gonna buy but bills came up and I had to use my explorer money up. Now I'm back and I have some saved up again. One more question is which style is best. I don't need luxury but if there is something that I should have maybe you guys could let me know. Looks like I will be going with a late in the year build 2003 up to 2005 (money is an issue) so hopefully find a good 2003. Gonna go with a v8 engine (upon your recommendations). I will be mostly driving to the fishing spot and sometimes 4x4'ing to hunting spots, driving on the freeway to get there.

Thanks again everybody. I will post my progress on my search.

Jeff

For what you want I would just go with an Xlt V8. If you dont need it, you can save some money by getting one w/o the third row. A mountaineer might also work for you too.

I thought all 3rd gens had the 3rd row as standard. Is it optional in some sytles? I need the 3rd row which is why I am going with 3rd gen.
