30k...? 17k-25k...? hell, we traded our jeep straight up for ours, and we paid 5k for the jeep. You should be able to snag an 01-04 for less than 10k!

meh, we got it with 160k. It has 172k now. The only thing I have had to do was coil packs, which are not cheap and the rear 2 were a pita! I would trust the 5.4 to hit 300k or so. I really like it, we went from a reg cab ranger to the jeep, which we thought was HUGE since she came outta the reg cab, shortly realized the jeep was way to small. Its a been a good truck and it looks good to

I think there all pretty good. some of the 5.4's have a manifold problem. The most I have seen were 98- and some of those were the 4.6. The 3 valve I think came out in 03 and I guess thats a gas guzzling pig. we average about 15-16 with mixed city/hwy. We got 19 driving 65 to chicago. I was able to do the brown wire mod on mine (99) dont know what years that stops tho. The only thing I dont like with mine is that it has 3.55 gearing. 3.73 would have been better. heres a pic

That looks clean bro. Most of the Expo's that aren't newish look like junk down here so i am trying to be careful.

You can get a 05-08 explorer in your price range with low miles. You can also get them with a v8/awd.

Congrats!!

If you don't have to get rid of the Ranger don't, but if you do, what about an Escape? My step grandma has had two and really liked them, they seem to be a decent vehicle and she got almost 30mpg out of her 4cyl when she went up north (expressway)
