Hey guys I am wonderding does anyone know how well 98-2002 rangers and exploders hold up and how well they do in the snow? like v6's. I have been looking for my new vehicle and I think I am going to end up getting a 98-2002 ranger or explorer, possibly a 97 ish f150 or a another vehicle. But I am just wondering how well the rangers and exploders handle snow and how well they hold up? I knoe exploders are a little more maitnance not sure on rangers, my brother and sister have 02s (but they live in cali) and all they complain is that their tranny's seem to be slipping around 120k. any insight would be awesome.

thanks
