 T.I.B.: another Ford Explorer
click to enlarge
Time to donate the old 1995 Explorer. I wanted to buy a late model 4x4 pick-up truck but I couldn't get one in my price range. Pick-up's are relatively "high priced". What's funny/odd about that, is pound for pound, an Explorer is so much more vehicle than a pick-up truck.

So, I bought a Ford Explorer Sport. It has a 4 liter V6 engine, W/ 5 speed Trans, AC, AM/FM/Cassette/CD, four wheel drive, 90,660 miles, and a brand new set of tires. It seats 4 people comfortably. For $4,700.00+ tax, it will be good "better than basic" transportation.

As far as versatility, you have to drive with the windows open if you're gonna haul Manure!
