- 1997 4.0 V6
I have been an Explorer owner for 61/2 hours having just bought a 1997 4.0 liter V6 today. The car is superb and runs like a dream. It has 53000 recorded miles on and cost approx $10,000. (Which is a bargain over here - England). I have just read through the owners handbook and found with suprise that the maximum payload is just 455 kilograms - approx 1000 lbs -surely this is a little on the low side. Five big guys could weigh more than this without their camping/fishing/shooting gear. I'd appreciate any comments on this.
