Thadious: Those side by side pics of the Explorer and S10 frames are great. I notice that the frame kickup at the rear of the explorer seems a little less pronounced than the S10, but those rear shock towers in the Explorer seem a tad high. I’m thinking of how the 2 frames compare in terms of the loss of bed depth, but it’s hard to tell from the pics as to which frame is better in that respect. Keep posting pics of this quality, and include LOTS of details!
