Hi,Matt from Mn.2006 xlt 4x4 v8.Have owned Explorers and Rangers my whole life from 91' to now a 06'.My 99'Explorer died after 412,876 miles(tranny went,engine was leaking coolant badly,and too rusty to sink any $ into it).Picked up a clean 06' from Arkansas at the start of the pandemic,shipped to Mn sight unseen.So far its been a work in progress catching up on some maintainence items that were neglected and fixing new issues as they arise.Hope to keep this one going to 400,000+ miles also,time will tell!

That Explorer had 165,000 miles when I purchsed it from its previous owner.While not the most powerfull all of the 4.0ohv I have owned have been great motors.
