I have an '02 Mountaineer with the V8 and AWD. Not sure why some think this truck is sluggish. Mine accelerates very well. I have not received any recall notices except for new mounts on the rear glass hatch.
Still drives like a heavy SUV and stops like one also. The midsize stuff like the Cayenne and FX45 have considerably less cargo room so you pay a hauling stuff around penalty for sake of a car-like ride.
The Mountaineer (Explorer) pulls medium weight trailers very well with the V8 - If you pull a car hauler then go for the Suburban.
I have had to replace all 4 wheel hubs due to bad bearings and now the front drive is starting to make noise.
