This is a really nice 2000 Eddie Bauer Edition AWD Explorer. It is equipped with the 5.0 L V8. The 5.0 has a well deserved reputation of being very reliable and reasonably economical. I routinely get 16.5 MPG and have seen close to 19 MPG on the highway. The tires are Goodyear and have better than half tread remaining. I had the alignment checked and it is within specifications. I believe I am the second owner and have seen no evidence of body repairs or paint work. The leather interior is much better than I would expect for a vehicle with 91,000 miles. It is equipped with the premium stereo with a 6 disc changer in the console. The AC works very well and kept me cool this past hot summer. All options work. I live on a state highway approximately 30 minutes NE of Bentonville, Arkansas, 60 minutes SE of Joplin, Missouri and 1.5 hours SW of Springfield, Missouri. Please feel free to ask any question through the contact feature of Ebay or you may call direct at 417-435-2201. I am retired so I am generally close to the phone. Leave a message and I will return your call. I purchased the factory trailer light wiring and installed a trailer ball. I used it twice: once to pull a small load of lumber and once to haul some ladders to Kansas City. I wasted my money, but the new owner may find it useful. I am selling to "thin the herd". I have let myself get a little carried away and now have 7 cars. A couple need to go. This is one I can do without. I neglected to note that there are some scratches on the black trim at the back of the driver's door. It appears that at some point someone may have attempted to break into the vehicle. I tend to not notice them because in my opinion, they are not bad. However, I need to point them out. If you are seriously interested in the truck, I will send you a close up picture. Just forward your email address or call and give me your email address. I understand that ebay is not allowing members to exchange email addresses. Poops. Anyway, based upon some of the questions I am getting about the Explorer, I need to remind potential bidders that this is a low mileage Explorer but it is still 12 years old. One can expect some minor blemishes and wear due to its age. I have not detailed the truck to the max like a dealer would, but then again, I am selling the truck for $6000, not $8995!
