I own the 95 4x4 300 but I would imagine the explorer is more geared
towards utility/comfort where the scramblers are great. I own 2 of
those. Clutch kit, K&N, and a pipe with spider trax on the rear and
she hauls for her size and weight. 
  BUT!! The explorer will probably be better in the mud. But the
scramblers are good to.  
  Kind of an option thing goin here.  Racks/no racks, race or ride
     
  I couldnt decide so I bought both,lol
