I'm looking at purchasing another vehicle for the next 'stage' of my life. Those that recognize my name probably know it's been a long time since I've been a very active member on this site and I am turning back to it to get even more.
I have my 2001 Ford Ranger which I've slammed, thrown some Cobra wheels on and done up pretty well but I need something with more room that maybe in a few years can haul some kids around. This need has led me back into the Explorer world.
Here is what I'm looking at (in general, I have nothing specific picked out):
-Third Generation Explorer
-V8 Automatic RWD
I know the rear hatch crack is basically 100% going to happen if it hasn't. But what else should I look out for? What needs to be looked at? I don't plan on doing ANYTHING except the basics:
-Wheels
-Exhaust
-Intake
-Tune
This will all be done more to enhance the ride and looks, but the tune will be to liven up the engine, not so much to lay skid marks in parking lots.
So what else are these vehicles known for that the internet isn't telling me? Transmission? Rear end? Window motors? What?!
Thanks!
