1997 Ford Explorer review
I've owned this car for a bout a year now. This has been the best starter car for me. I have the V6 version so towing isn't all there but I could still tow. Pros- drives like a truck, ride height is amazing, very easy shifting no problems, shifter is a little hard getting used to, amazing stereo, great 4x4 feel with that control trac 4WD, Leather seats on driver and passenger, AC controls in the middle, great trunk size. Cons- sometimes can't see that well because the windows are big, rear view mirror a little bit small, little slow.

1997 Ford Explorer review
The tranny is a Mazda. You can sleep across the back seat or put the back seats down and there's enough room for 2 to sleep. I've towed a Taurus and a TJ Wrangler with this. I've moved large, heavy dressers, refrigerators and stoves with this. It is my second car and the gas mileage isn't great but it is a tank. One thing they are prone to rolling over so spacing your tires out wider is a good idea. Some people cannibalize the axles and put them on TJ Wranglers. The gears are perfect and the axles will handle the larger tires. This is called the poor man's swap.
