The Explorer is a good choice, but I would recommend NOT getting the V-6. The only V-6 available in that year was the 4.0 SOHC. While it is a fairly durable engine with a decent service record, it is difficult and expensive to service in terms of head work, timing chains, etc. The 4.6 V-8 is a much better choice. Better up to the task, and its most common issue is blown out spark plug threads. The spark plug issue is fairly easily remedied, and once fixed it is pretty much fixed for good. As far as 4-wheel drive, I would recommend strongly that you DO get that option for a couple of reasons. First is that it add a great deal of stability in inclement weather. Second is that a vehicle in that class has little resale value without 4-wheel drive. This would come into play if there were an insurance issue to come up. Might make the difference between losing the vehicle and getting it repaired. With 2-wheel drive, even a wrinkled fender could be enough to total it. Vehicles in this class are expected to have 4-wheel drive.
Since I am not very experience with the GM offerings, the only issue that I know of is that their transmissions tend to be a bit on the weak side.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
