I'm looking to buy a second gen explorer and need some advice.
Will be used as my dd and to pull a small pop up tent trailer every now and then.
Must be 4x4 and would prefer 4 door. I need opinions of which motor to go with though.
I think I'd prefer the sohc for power and fuel economy over the v8 but having a hard time finding one in the combo i'm looking at. I have seen some in that combo with the v8 but i'm worried about gas. I can find the ohv all day long but im worried it will be underpowered.
So anyways here's my questions:
What kind of fuel economy can I expect from the 3 motors?
What transmissions were used behind the 3? And which is the least troublesome?
Which motor is more reliable?
Thanks.
