I have a 2007 Explorer Sport Trac (the Explorer with the 4 foot pickup bed out back) with the 4.6 V8. It is my daily driver / tow vehicle. Had it since new, and it now has 130k miles on it without any major issues. Biggest issue I had was a warped exhaust manifold. Some other smaller issues, but at 130k miles on the clock, I expect my maintenance costs to start rising...
Gas mileage is dismal @ 17mpg highway. But it hauled my 944 to the track many times. I like the pickup bed for utility.
My truck did have the IRS - which makes the highway ride less choppy and more car-like. The newer Explorers are unibody (vs. my body-on-frame) so the ride quality should be even better.
Of the US Trucks, I'd say the Ford SUV's and pickups are tops.
My $0.42,
-Z-man.
