Hi all,
I have a 1995 Ford Explorer 2WD V6. I'm almost positive it has a leaking headgasket or lower intake manifold gasket on it. The engine has 245,000 miles on it and has been completely reliable. The body is starting to rust out pretty bad now so I think I'm in the market for a newer model Expy.
I'm posting to get suggestions from you all as to what year model I should get and any other helpful suggestions. In particular I want the V8 302, and 4WD. I like the shorter wheel base 2dr sport models...but I'm not dead set on having one that's 2 door.
My plans are to put a slight body lift on it, dual exhaust, and an off-road wheel and tire package. It will be used for frequent off roading, mud, country dirt road usage, frequent winter/snow/ice driving, and occasional towing of a flat bed trailer.
