Explorer sport trac??

[XXXDCXXX]

Well my wife has decided to buy her first truck in the coming spring and thinking about an Exploreer Sport Trac. Does anybody on here have one or know much about them. sorry if this is in the wrong section but there is not to many people looking around in the other fords section. kinda just looking for info on these things

what year? the 95-01 explorers with the 4.0 v6 were great motors, the tranny not so much, my '95 explorer had 210K on it when we sold it, don't know much about sport tracs but they are based on the same platform

they dont get any better gas milage than a truck. There geared like a truck

Sport tracs are good trucks.....and you can do this with it
(UP TO 05 then they got away from solid rear axles)

My brother has an 07 and he's put 75k on it. The fuel milage is horrible. I get better milage with my 5.4 v8. The thermostat housing blew up for no reason at 60k. Ford is aware of the problem cuz the dealer was full of replacement parts. The counter man told me it was a common issue. Thats what he's been through with it.

Why not just get a Ranger and atleast have a somewhat usable bed instead of the 4.5' bed (or whatever size it is) these things have?

dont want a ranger cause they are a little smaller cab wise and she wants the four door fo the dog and our son. i have an f150 so the bed size is not an issue. the 4.0 litre is a great motor well at least it was in my bush ranger. as far as what year she wants we are not to sure yet as she has just started to look

my uncle has a 08 limited sport trac with a 4.6 3v,a 6sp automatic,and leather interior

the mid size trucks with v8s are fast!!!

and its way faster than the f150s!! i know!

ford needs to start offering more v8s in the mid size trucks

imagine the ecoboost in a ranger

my rich ass cousin in fl bought one back in 04 or so....he paid cash for it brand new and then turned around and sold it 2 weeks later because he hated it so much....but he is a rich putz and his opinion means nothing to me....my brothers friend has had one for a few years and loves it....ive never driven one tho but from my brothers friend says he really enjoys his...
