Hello everyone.
I am new to the board and new to Explorers.
I had a f-150 crew cab but was recently in an accident were I was rear ended and my truck was totalled.
With a new addition to the family on the way figured it was time to get something a little more family friendly.
Its going to be a second vehicle for making Home Depot runs and 1000+ mile round trip to see family a couple of times a year. So mpg is something to think about.
After reading consumer reports and the board I want to get and 06+. I have found two 06 Eddie Bauer locally.
Option One:
06 v6 4.0 Eddie Bauer, Mineral Gray, 27,842, leather, 3rd row, class II, $14.5K
Option Two:
06 v8 4.6 Eddie Bauer, Mineral Gray, 29,778, leather, 3rd row, sunroof, class III $15K
Both look like great deal to me. I am leaning towards the V8. After reading the board it looks like mpg for a v6 and v8 are about the same. Are there any major drive train differences or issues with either. Anything I should specifically check out when I go to test drive?
Thanks again and sorry for the long first post.
