[Ben Rauls]

Anyone have any experance with them? Wife wrecked here Jeep Grand cherokee last week and need a replacement. One i;m looking at is 6cyl and just the basic power options and steel wheels. Just kinda looking for feedback.

Had three explorers and they all have been good vehicles. Highway mileage runs 20 to 22 MPG.

We got a 02 explorer, has been ok , but there are lots of things that could and probably will cause big repair bills down the road, so far i have been able to do the repairs, but the parts were costly. All in all it has been ok but if i had to do it over again knowing what i know about them now i think i would pass.Ours is a 6 too highway mileage is ok but around town isn,t great.

Drive it first to see if the rear axle has a whine. Some had it most didn't.
