dead explorer.

[kdburtch]

Well my explorer died today, Im looking to get something reasonably cheap that can still tow about 1000-2000lbs, and get good gas mileage. any suggestions?

I used to have a ford exploder, guess what happened to mine? It exploded.

(sorry I can't help you with a suggestion)

how much money you got? get yourself a jeep grand cherokee, they're pretty decent through the elements, decent gas mileage, and hitch-able

or a hummer?:rockon: I doubt that'd be anywhere near gas efficient though

What avout a good ol Landrover defender n run it on veg oil ... best of both worlds

Any Chevrolet, no fords....lol

If your not to worried about extra seats you can find s10s and other trucks like that all day for dirt cheep

The Chevy Silverado's are very dependable... a good half ton should do the job very nicely! :BLAA:

Don't go for a Canyon or Colorado, older model that is. Stupid bad head issues! I'm screwed on my Canyon . Don't forget to look into Toyotas.

A Four Runner or a Pathfinder will both tow 5000 lbs and run forever. The 'Finder can generally be found for a bit less $ than the Four Runner.

Of course if 2000# trailers are your max and you don't need 4WD and good interior space, then a small pickup is probably the way to go.... Tacoma, Ranger, S10, etc..

Or get a BMW 1200GS.

Most of the small "cross-over" type SUV's are good for about 1500#. Same with Subaru Outbacks and the like.
