On another note, I have a buddy who has one with over 320K miles and he has never been into the engine. Almost a miracle to own that engine and not have had to do the head gaskets.....

my brother got low twenties in his 6 cyl, I got 16 in a V8 with AWD. rollover is more of an issue in ANY SUV, not just the explorer. the explorer issue was traced to tire issues. I just mentioned it because there are a lot more choices out there and a lot of them are american built, not to get into a discussion about pro and cons of any one model or make
