Lower Mileage or Newer Model year?

[nejohnson]

I'm in the market for an Explorer and would like some advice from all you Explorer experts!

In your experience with these trucks, should I be looking for lower mileage or newer model year.

For example: a 91 with 75k miles OR a 94 with 130k miles...for the same price, which would be a better buy?

Thanks! Nick

I recommend lower mileage. Rust isn't really a big factor unless you live up north, so it's mostly dependent on mileage.
