Is a Toyota 4Runner better than a Ford Explorer for a first car?

I'm looking at first cars and I'm looking at:

2003 Toyota 4Runner Limited V6 with Nav, Leather, Sunroof with 86,000 miles for $13,900

or a

2003 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V6 with Leather,Sunroof with 76,000 miles for $11,980

Neither have a third row seat but I really like the Explorer but wouldn't mind a 4Runner because they are nice. Any opinions?Is a Toyota 4Runner better than a Ford Explorer for a first car?Toyota. I had a Rav4 and it was the best car I've ever owned.



There is a reason Explorer's are also known as Exploder's. lol. We actually used to have one...Eddie Bauer editions as well. It was on the fritz constantly.
