Starting to look for an Explorer more seriously. Just read that the water pump is buried within certain engines, and prone to failure. Which V6 models/engines lack the internal water pump?
 






All of this era (5th gen) with a V6 have a transverse mounted (FWD biased) engine with an internal water pump.

If you want to avoid that, your only option '11-'19 is the 4 cylinder Ecoboost, or get something pre-'11 or post-'19.
