Hello....
I currently have a 2000 5.0 EB and really like it. I bought the 5.0 package based on all the feedback on this board, saying they they were the most resistance to issues and the tranny / engine combo were "bulletproof." They also didnt have the "death rattle" that some of the V6s had lol.
Im thinking of getting a newer explorer, something in the 2005 - 2010 range... which leads me to my question. Is there an engine / tranny combo that is considered better or more reliable in recent years? Any combinations that have given trouble? Any particular years / models that are preferred?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
