The 1995-2001 AWD models have the 302 cid V-8 in them---good engine.

The "AWD" is really full-time 4wd. It's permanently engaged and doesn't rely on wheel slip to transfer power. It's split full-time 40% to the front wheels and 60% to the rear (uh, I think???)--they run fine on the beach.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
