Hey guys, back from the dead and wanted to explore the site again since I am going to be getting a newer explorer soon. Since I left, I had a 1988 Ford ranger (Black with ****o red interior (immaculate) that I drove for a while until it had its issues. Sold it and put that money onto my 1999 Ford ranger which I drive now.

Its come to a point that I cannot afford to make payments on a truck that isn't even worth half of what I am paying and I decided to give it back and get a CHEAPER 95-00 Explorer or Mountaineer.

I know I want...

-4 doors
-5.0 V8
-AWD / 4WD
-Black or White (prefer Black, As Henry Ford said, "You can have it in any color as long as its black")

But some questions came up...

How hard is it to find a Manual behind the 5.0 V8?
Is AWD or 4WD preferred in the street truck crowd? (I'd imagine AWD)
Is there a way to tell by the exterior if it is 5.0, Do they all have the badge on the front fender?

you chances on hitting the lottery are better:D

this all depends on the main purpose of this Truck. if not gonna wheel it then you might wanna keep the AWD but also could convert to 4wd to be able to run it in 2hi and get alittle better power and mileage outta it too.

welcome to the site
 






Thanks guys... I found a few but now I'm not sure on color... White or black?
 






G'day. Black, I reckon mate:thumbsup:
 












..:scratch:..What happened to the first gen Explorer you had that you were putting all the mods on?
 






the first gen got traded off as I the engine was headed south and I couldnt afford the mileage it gave me.
 






welcome back
 






..Sorry to hear that..Good luck on your search..:D
