Actually, not all of the 5.0L Exploders were AWD. And, the Exploders that had 4.0L's were PIG's too heavy for the engine. A Ranger with a 4.0L on the other hand will move. I would not trade my XJ for one, but if I were to get a stock ranger, it would be a 4.0L/5spd 2WD. At least with the 2WD's and the twin I beam, there are parts to correct the god-aweful alignment and tire wear issues.

Wicked, pick up an old ranger so you have a pickup truck. They are handy to have but, don't give up the XJ, Bro......especially for an Exploder.

I had an 89 ranger before my XJ. I loved that truck and some times I wish I still had it. I couldn't find another good deal on a ranger so I went with a Cherokee. Next vehicle on my list is an early bronco.

If you gotta have a Ford and you can't find a 70 Boss 429, an EB is the way to go. Very nice classic looking rigs and very capable 4x4s.

I love my wifes ranger. Its a bare bones2000 2wd 5spd. 2.5L it gets sweeeet gas mileage and tows good too, if your towing a light trailer with a couple quads and thats it. Good reliable truck though. Not a big fan of the explorer but to each there own.
