Powerstroke into an Explorer?

I think it would definitely be do-able. You would need a lot more than Just the engine though.

I think the 8.8", 31spline rear-end should hold up too....it would be marginal though..

Wife friendly tow vehicle

This is very interesting. I tow a 7000# trailer with an '07 Sport Trac and, although I love the platform, am very displeased with the wheezing anemic little 4.6 3V getting 6 MPG.

For the short term I'll probably just shore things up a little with the after-market, but this could be something to start setting parts aside to do later.

i had a psd f-350, sold it, and used the money as a down payment on the 'sploder so my wife would have something to drive. life's compromises are tough...

Because then there is no "love" and "effort" put into the vehicle, just plenty of $$
