looking at a newer explorer, 2011+ or an older 2008-2010 explorer the reason, the need of a daily driver and hunting vehicle as well. I use to use an older 2004 escape which was an awesome vehicle due to its light weight and 4x4 drive train. So my question newer AWD systems 2011+, are these drive trains as efficient, capable, as the true hi/lo 4x4 drive trains ford offered in the past? Logging roads, back trails, primitive roads while hunting. Any advice is appreciated, need an enclosed vehicle.
