Welcome to the forum!
The first thing you're going to need to do for us to really help you is determine what you don't have when it won't start. Are you missing fuel or spark? If you have a spark tester, that's an easy on to check for. If you don't have a spark tester, you can pick one up inexpensively at a local Harbor Freight Tools store or slightly less expensively at a local auto parts store.
If you don't have a fuel pressure tester and want to see if lack of fuel is the issue, then you can use a can of throttle body cleaner and modulate it in to the intake while another person tries to start the truck. If it starts while modulating the spray, then lack of fuel is the likely culprit.
Since you say your Explorer dies (plural) that would suggest that you have been able to get it restarted. What did it take to get it restarted, sitting to cool, adding fuel, changing the battery? Does it seem to act up more when the fuel tank is low?
Providing as many details as you can will help us help you.
