i've just had my faithful old suburban written off and i'm thinking of buying a 2002 explorer xlt with 100,000km on it (about 65,000 miles). it's very clean and when i test drove it it felt quite good but it seemed that getting it into 4x4 seemed a little complicated, especially 4x4 low. it wouldn't go in unless i was in neutral and at a complete stop, which is fairly common, but it wouldn't come out very easily. could someone tell me if there are conditions on when you can shift into 4x4 high and low and then back into 4x2?

Welcome to FTE. As Morris said be sure to come and join in some of the chat in the BC Chapter. Where abouts in BC are you from?

 

thanks zip. i'm in port moody. am enjoying the explorer so far but have had a few electrical problems that are a bit of a pain. too many gadgets on this little beauty.

 

We have quite a few members from the lower mainland.

 

where are you at zip?

 

The big bustling city of Princeton.

 

one of my favourite places in the world. have camped and trekked all over that area, most recently on the ashnola. i make a point of visiting at least once every summer and usually try to stay in the evergreen motel for old times' sake.

 

It's not too bad. It's close to some of the bigger centers which is nice.
