Explorer sport

What is worth getting out of an explorer sport to put in my ranger. Its got pioneer 6 disc stereo (I kinda like my MP3 unit though and I don't think this one is) leather seats and full console 4wd.

The only thing I can think of wanting is the seats, but I live in AZ and leather gets real hot and uncomfortable.

Depending on the year, the leather seats are designed to breathe and will not get hot. I had an 03 Sport Trac, living in SC we see 100 degree days during the summer often and the seats never got hot. If it wasn't for the gas mileage, I would still have it.

What year explorer sport? The non-sport trac like ones are nothing special...just like a plain jane explorer. Black face gauges. But, if it's a sport trac front end, it'sgot the neato white face gauges and silver interior things here and there, quite frankly, it's a really good looking interior.
