I purchased the Sport Trac in July 2002 and have driven it 154,000 trouble free miles. I high recommend buying one. Mileage has been very good with an average highway MPG of 23.8 with a full load and freeway speeds. I am looking to buy a new one I hope they are as good as the 2002 has been.
Great little truck

Bought new with less than 100 miles after my 94 ranger was totalled by a kid running a light. This truck is a beast in the snow. Winter 06' brought 2 major blizzards here with over 2ft of snow each time within 2 weeks. Had to blast through drifts over 4 ft to get to work. No problem at all. That is even with the crap stock goodyear RT/S tires. Tires started "thumping at 10k. Had to replace pads and rotors at 30k. Repair shop said a caliper was frozen on the right front and chewed throught the rotor. Replaced rotors, pads and calipers over $700. Now the breaks constantly squeak. Besides that have not had any mechanical issues what so ever "knock on wood"

It's cute, but . . .

Our SportTrac is cute, but it doesn't handle well at all, and it's loud and rough-running. It creaks when you turn the wheel "too far" in either direction (like when I'm going through a drive- through restaurant!), the engine light constantly comes on (thankfully we got the extended warranty), and the driver's seat won't go close enough in for my comfort.
Like the Truck, Hate the Service Support

I bought the truck for the functionality - to transport my family and cargo at the same time. I chose it over the Dakota because it drove like a car - which it is. This vehicle is not as durable as a truck and should not be treated as such. But for a suburbanite, I like it a lot. It has things break on it a lot and I am thankful for the warranty. Too bad the dealership is so unsupportive. I see it as a great alternative to a wagon but not to a pick up truck. Treat it gently and it will perform well. Great speed but poor mileage (18 - 20 mpg).

The ride comfort of the 2002 Explorer Sport Trac is exceptional. It has adequate power at all speeds thanks in part to it's 5 speed automatic transmission. The 4.0L has good pwer, but fuel economy is poor.
