Hello, I am looking to do some traveling this summer and want to buy a rig I can sleep in and the explorer is one of the options I am looking into.
From the reading I have already did on here I learned that the 5.0 Explorers are the most dependable of engine options. It was stated in a thread that the years 98 or 99 to 01 5.0 2WD were the most dependable and I am curious what was the difference between them and the 5.0 in a 96' or 97' 2WD is. Why are they more dependable?
Also what kind of mileage could I expect out of a 5.0 2WD highway driving at 60 mph?
And just cause I am curious are there any 4WD Explorers that had the 5.0 and a selectable transfer case where one could remain in 2WD and unlock the hubs to get better mileage on the highway.
One more question, with all but the front seats removed or folded down how much room is there to lay down and sleep?
