Here is the stats:

Trailblazer: 2004, Inline 4.2 liter six-cylinder, black, LS model, 4x4, 135k miles, cloth interior, average tires, nice interior, asking price: 6995

Explorer: 2002, 4.0 liter v-6, white, XLS model, 4x4, 120k miles, cloth interior. asking price: 5900

Looking at getting of these two vehicles. I think they are both pretty good for the money. I am in the midwest where SUVs are very popular. I really want a Chevy but could settle for the ford if it's that great of a deal. Just wanted the opinion of some car people on reliability, performance, and overall value/quality. I know that no matter the vehicle there is a chance for a so called lemon or bad apple. and buying any used car is a huge game of chance. For example my current Grand Prix has lasted me 6 years and 50k miles for under 3000 bucks. Thanks for your input ahead of time. Sorry for the sloppy typing.
