I love the truck in spite of it's flaws

I owned a Ford Ranger for 13 years and it was a great truck. When I saw the review of the sport trac in 'Car and Driver' magazine, I knew this was the truck for me. I bought my sport trac the first year they were manufactured. It's been recalled a few times for small issues - nothing that I feel compromises the safety of the vehicle. The ride isn't as quiet as I expected in the cab, but that's about the only thing I really don't like about it. I love to drive my sport trac and it meets my needs.

I have owned Ford Trucks , Gmc Trucks, and Toyota Trucks and have found out that Ford builds the best. The Sport Trac (almost a truck) has the best ride and is a fun truck to drive. The leg room is great and there is plenty of room in the back seat for passenger comfort. Although the truck bed is not full size with a bed extender I can haul what I need and still have the comfort of an SUV.

Our 2004 Sport Trac is the second we have owned and we love it as much as the first (2001). Big enough for 5 people yet small enough to get into tight places, this truck/suv combo has it all. Available with the luxury of (heated) leather seats, Pioneer sound system, in dash 6 cd changer and sun roof (all of which ours has) and so much more! I originally traded my first ST in for an Expedition. That only lasted about 9 months. Had to have another Sport Trac! Cute, sassy, economical and just plain fun!

I had an extended cab Mazda B3000 but the back seat didn't accomodate two kids very well. The Sport Trac is perfect for me. I didn't want to give up my truck but I needed more seating capacity. Now I have both. Unlike some of the competitors, this truck has a REAL back seat. It's actually very comfortable for kids and adults. I regret not getting the fixed center console. The removable nylon bag doesn't do anything for me.
