explorer vs 4runner

My sister is looking at buying either a 97 Explorer 4.0 or a 97 Toyota 4runner 3.4. It is more for daily driving, but she does live in Denver and ski and play in the mountains. Just not a hardcore 4wheeler. Does any one have any fact-based opinions on either? I don't want bashing, just some solid info. Thanks
