  • Sport Tracking along (and why we are not Frontier-ing or Tacoma-ing): 2 year update

    Mar 19 '01
    Pros: roomy backseat, easy-clean rubber floor, composite truck bed, great interior and exterior
    Cons: not as maneuverable as some of the competition, more expensive

    Summary: Time for something new My old car just had to go. Since it needed so many repairs, that was all the rationalization we needed to get a new vehicle, especially since we were already longing for something new:) What to get? ... read more

  • 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4x4

    Jan 29 '07
    Pros: A truck built like a car. Very roomy. Easy to shift 4x4. Automatic,
    Cons: terrible gas mileage, higher than a car makes it inconvenient for women and skirts.

    Summary: This car/truck is the best thing on wheels. I have been able to transport large items that would have required a van rental otherwise. The 2001 that I have, I purchased at a reasonable price with about 95k miles on it. It has a rear bed about 4ft long ... read more

    Cons: like suv's it can turn over when turning at a certain speed

    Summary: I bought my Ford Explorer Sport Trac back in late November. I had been used to driving sports cars and trucks. And since having kids I went from a mustang to a dodge intrepid. My husband started driving the intrepid. So I went to a dealership and spotted ... read more

  • 2001 Sport Trac

    Nov 14 '03
    Pros: Size, comfort, looks, interior dimensions
    Cons: turning radius, must have 4 wheel drive for hills/mud/ice/snow

    Summary: I bought my sport trac in 2001 and have used it hard for two full years and this is what I think so far: The best thing is that I'm 6'-2" tall and I fit in it comfortably. If that wasn't good enough, my brother is 6'-5" and he has sat behind the drive ... read more

  • A wonderful SUT!

    Aug 01 '03
    Pros: Handling, looks, comfort, transmission
    Cons: Heavy - makes acceleration slow. A little pricey fully loaded

    Summary: With family working for Ford, my husband and I trade vehicles all the time. I have owned just about ... read more

  • 2001 Sport Trac

    May 21 '03
    Pros: Nice look, cargo cage
    Cons: Eats gas like nothing I have ever driven before

    Summary: 61000 miles all me. 3 times had to take to dealer for "Check Engine" light on. Finally found small hole in hose for evac system but only after they replaced gas cap and entire gas tank. Luckily still under warranty. A lot of cab noise if all windows ... read more

  • Explorer Sport Trac

    Feb 15 '03
    Pros: Cargo room and a 5 passenger vehicle. Great standard features.
    Cons: Maybe a little rough, but what I expect from and SUV.

    Summary: My husband and I purchased the Sport Trac as a compromise. He wanted a truck and I wanted an SUV. We have been extremely happy with it. The only problem is that we fight over who gets to drive it. I will mention some of my favorite features: ... read more

  • A Versatile Alternative to an SUV or Full-size Sedan

    Feb 10 '03
    Pros: More storage room than a full-size sedan, able to haul taller items than an SUV!
    Cons: GAS!!, rear seats are rather uncomfortable on long trips for adults (I'm 5'10").

    Summary: The 2001 Explorer Sport Trac has been a very convenient vehicle for my family of four. I've debated long and hard in trying to buy a large sedan or SUV, but when Ford came out with the Sport Trac, there was no question about how utilitarian this design ... read more

  • Love mine - A

    Jan 26 '03
    Pros: Versatile, eye-catching beauty
    Cons: Of course, gas mileage

    Summary: I was lucky enough to get one of these used last year and I've never been sorry. This is a truck you can dress up or dress down. The floor mats can be removed to reveal a cool plastic like floor that could be easily wiped down or hosed out (if you're ... read more

  • Explorer Sport Trac or truck?

    Dec 14 '02
    Pros: Great looking truck and fun to drive
    Cons: poor gas mileage and few problems

    Summary: Have you ever heard of a Ford Explorer Sport Trac? Maybe not, this is a fairly new truck to hit the market. I had purchased a 2001 Sport trac and I really enjoy driving it. This "truck"(some call SUV) is compact enough for every day driving, yet has ... read more

  • Ford 2001 Sport-Trac.

    Oct 16 '02
    Pros: Good 4wd. Competent cornering. Comfortable Seats. Alot of room in rear seats.
    Cons: Poor Gas mileage for V-6. Costly. Has not held resale value as expected.

    Summary: Overall this is a great vehicle. We live in a very snowy corner of the country. 120"/season on average. The Sport Trac does all that we ask of it and more. On and off road we have had reliable service and pleasant driving in our Ford. ... read more

  • Annoying quirks

    Aug 17 '02
    Pros: Comfortable, Ergonomic, versatile
    Cons: Engineering flaws, gas mileage

    Summary: I've owned my 2001 Sport Trac for 5 months and I'm about ready to trade it in. It's not a bad vehicle. Actually I like most aspects of it, but there are a couple of quirks that I'm getting really annoyed with. First is its performance going up hills ... read more

  • Is it a Truck or a SUV?

    Dec 27 '01
    Pros: Unique body style, versatility, seating capacity, spaciousness.
    Cons: Low gas mileage, small manufacturing flaws.

    Summary: Luckily there's not too many of these on the road yet because it may cause many to develop a stiff neck after starring at every one that passes by! It's one of those vehicles you just have to look closely at in awe whenever you see one on the road. ... read more

  • I Love My Sport Trac!

    Oct 30 '01
    Pros: Versitle, decent ride, good handling, gets attention
    Cons: I would like better gas mileage and a lower price.

    Summary: The first time I saw a Ford Explorer Sport Trac, I knew I had to have one. Then I found out what they cost. But I waited a while and finally got one that was reasonably affordable and well equipped. Let me state right off that this is not a technical ... read more

  • Who Likes Trucks? (not me)

    Oct 13 '01
    Pros: Rear Seat Room, Powerful V6, Lots of Options
    Cons: Rough Ride, Odd Styling

    Summary: I am not a big truck fan, never have been. It could be because trucks were merely work vehicles when I was growing up, and even as I approached driving age. When I was a kid, trucks were always stripped down and offered little in the way of comfort. ... read more

  • Does It All!

    Jul 30 '01
    Pros: Versatile, roomy, easy to drive and innovative.
    Cons: Originally I thought the pick-up was slow. I just didn't step it down.

    Summary: I traded my 1988 Toyota 4 X 4 in when I purchased my Sport Trac. I was used to the small truck bed and found that I was not handicapped in hauling the things I need. With the cargo extender my cargo is secure and for longer loads I can move out to the ... read more
