I usually get 19-20ish with barely any highway driving. I don't try to get good gas mileage in it either since it isn't my DD

Going to look at an explorer tomorrow finally . 2003 V6, auto, 3rd row seating, cloth, 71k miles. Basically exactly what I was looking for. Anyone know of any common problems/things to look for on these cars?

Ounds sweet shaun. I don't really think they had any problems. I think there was recall on them a few years back, along with some of the trucks. Not sure what it was about or whatever. I want a ranger!

Shaun 70k is really great mileage on an '03.
That's what my mustang had when I got it in '08.

Yeah I want something under 100k preferably which is why I'm going to check this one out. Not my favorite color but everything else is what I wanted.

Shuan thats really great mileage. I'm getting about 15ish. My Cobra R's arent
the heaviest rims but they're heavier that stock so.
Was that with a less aggressive tune?
im getting a tad better than that if im easy on the gas. time to give that thing a tune up.

By tune up what do you mean?
I know for sure my oil and spark plugs need to be changed.
