We traded the Explorer for an 09 Expedition and it has been great, If I am careful with the right foot it averages 20-21 MPG not towing (I have gotten as good as 25 MPG) and 13-14 when towing. It doesn't get moved by the wind.

I was going to check out the Explorer but with your information I would stick with the Expedition. I have a 27 foot snowmobile trailer and the wind does move it.
