Looking at getting Ex. Advise please

Thinking about selling the 7.3 Excursion and getting the woman an Explorer. Which years are better and which years do I stay away from? V8 or V6 does it matter? Stuff like that. Thanks in advance.

IMO buy the newest one you can find, with the V8. This is one of the most commonly asked questions, right after "How do I get better MPG out of my FE?" and "How do I make my 351m into a firebreather for cheap?" Read on:

OK,thanks. I definately wanted the V8. I like the 99-02 models or body style,but seems like the newer body style is bigger on the inside.
