i want to buy a 97 explorer and i was wondering. it is a new buy. the truck is used, and i dont know the real condition of the vh but i was wondering are you with the experiences had you have with ur exp. will it b ok to get,,,

 

I have a 98' xlt explorer. its a 4.0 v6 with all wheel drive and 4 wheel dr. . Very reliable, lots of room. If I could buy another one I would not get 4 wheel

drive or all wheel drive because I dont go off road much and its a gas hog. Even though its a v6 it only gets between 13 and 16 miles per gallon. I think you

will save a lot of money if you get 2 wheel drive.

They advertise 15 to 21 miles per gallon but if you get 4 wheel drive you will never see that kind of mileage.

Other than that, great car!
