I'd trade it off on an Explorer. Mine has 212,000 miles, and is starting to show it's age, but still runs reasonably well.

Yeah I would have kept my 95 Explorer...But a Month after I bought it..a guy and his wife up the road..offered me $1000 more than I paid..So there it went!!

Same with my Vette...I paid 10,500 for it and sold it a month later for $14,000.00

Of course, mine will run REALLY well after it gets Ethanol fueled FE power.

Yeah I'd look for an explorer or even a ranger form the early 90s, but get the ranger with 4.0 ofcourse. I have a 92 Ranger 4.0, 4x4 with 341000 KMs I'm not sure how much that is in Miles but I'm sure it's in the mid 200s or more. The thing still runs strong and I'm very hard and demanding on it. I mainly use it now for offroading... and beat the hell out of it there, and on the street lets just say it's seen it's share of smokey rubber.... I absolutely love that truck. It's in my gallery (in the ditch) I'll post some pics with it and the 32s. It's really a trail beast now.
