ya id say a 5.0 explorer like a 98 or so. they actually have the same motors as the 93 mustang cobra.

I think you know what I'll say :)

what year 4Runner were you looking at?
125k isn't bad for a Toyota at all.

I'm actually surprised to hear about all the Ford reccomendations, I've always heard that Ford's are typically unreliable cars and cheaply built.

Then again, I guess that's like saying an unheard-of Car Audio brand is crap.

v8 explorer......the 5.0 is damn near indestructable.....

I would look at Toyota 4 runners too, or if you can find some little jeeps with the hardtops, those I would look at. Ford's full size bronco had 351 windsors in them and ran like banshees. I put over 300K miles on mine and didn't replace the motor once. I was the original owner.

No Blazer No Jimmy No Bravada!!! Theres A Reason They Are Dead First Of All There Nothing But Problems Ive Had My 99 Blazer Since July Of Last Year Its Been In The Shop 20 Times. U Name It It Broke. Major Things Like The Whole Rear Axle Had To Be Replaced Transfer Case Had To Be Replaced. Many Little Things. Thank God For The Warranty. Not Only That But There The Most Deadly Vehicles On The Road. Compared To A Rav 4 With 9 Deaths A Year A Blazer Has 256 A Year. (2 Door).

120,000 isnt a lot for a toyota if compared to a blazer.

I know one of my buddie's has i think a 94 or 95 Toyota truck w/ the 3.0? liter motor. Just hit 100,000 and its running awesome.

If possible, try to find something with under 100k. Remember, just like car audio, its always better to save and buy something better, than to buy something right away w/o thinking it thru.

AVOID GM'S!!! I would not get an S-10 Blazer or Jimmy. They are not very well built.
Good call, he was actually looking at some 4runner's but they had around 120,000 miles, I dunno if thats a lot for a 4runner?

I hear ya on the GM's, my brother has a blazer and there are so many problems...
