Chuck and I towed home this little thing over the weekend.

This is for my oldest boy for the next couple years, and then the next and the next, hopefully.
1997 Ford Explorer
4.0L V6
4WD
Automatic transmission
No power windows or locks---which throws the kids a bit.

Needs a fuel pump to run. Only 99,250 miles or so on a 25 yr old car and for $1250, it's hard to go wrong. Should be a fun little project for the boys to learn working on. They've helped a bit with Chuck, but this gives some extra incentive for them to actually work on it.

Ironically, with this addition we have Chevy, Dodge and Ford SUVs in the driveway (wife drives a 2015 Durango).

Also, as mentioned in another thread, we're currently in a battle over naming this one. My son doesn't want to name it at all. I'm thinking we call her Dora... (if you don't figure it out, let me know.)
Dora the xplorer, i like it. For some reason "Shackleton" came to mind, or maybe since it is white, "Arctic".
