Chilton vs. Haynes??

Does anyone have an opinion as to which manual is better for Explorers.... Chilton or Haynes?? In the past I've always used Chiltons, but on this board I keep hearing about Haynes. I need to get a manual for a '95 XLT that I recently purchased and was wondering if I should go with Haynes instead of Chilton. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.....

I have the Haynes, and it seems pretty good. I have a Chiltons for one of my other vehicles. I don't think you can go wrong with either, but if you can get both, then you will get different explanations that may help shed light on any particular problem.

My vote is also since they are only $10-$15 each, get them both. They both have their advantages.

the hayne's manual is for someone who has general automotive knowledge , the chilton's is more for someone who doesnt know very much about there vehicle and need's a little more explination on particular thing's. but having both is nice, just in case.
