We've had experience with 5 or 6 explorers in the last 10 years or so. 2001 - 2003. The 01 was a 4.0 v6. It started having timing chain issues around 160k. All the rest have been 4.6 V8s. Mileage really isn't a whole lot worse, but the v8 sure is a smooth engine.
Somewhere around 06 they went to a 6 speed trans. I have no experience with those. Prior was a 5 speed that wasn't one of fords better transmissions. We replaced one and bought one with a newly rebuilt trans, both around 150k. I see them all the time on craigslist with bad transmissions.
The explorers are a nice suv. The mrs loves them, and I even had one for a while as a go to work vehicle til I got a good deal on a gmc pickemup.
If he is going to do much towing, I would probably suggest a Yukon or Tahoe with a 5.3.
