OK car. Not the best.

Date of Review:  May 30, 2003
The Bottom Line: Nice car, but in my opinion, it is cheaply made. For this, I can not recommend it to a friend.
Review: I bought this car in late July. I first liked it because of the color, Yellow, with nice black leather. I bought the 2WD model, just because I don't use it to go off roading. Another main reason I bought it was because I needed a car fast and Ford...

Good family vehicle that is extremely roomy and great for the family with older children.

Date of Review:  Jun 13, 2004
Review: This is a great family vehicle if you're not too concerned about gas mileage or hauling large items. We were lied to by the dealership when buying this truck. We were told that it would get approximate the same mileage as our Ford Taurus we had...

Not too bad

Date of Review:  Jul 11, 2005
Review: All in all, this is not a bad vehicle. If you buy one, get at least the XLT model. The XLS and XLS Sport aren't equipped with that much. Also get the V8 instead of the V6. The V6 has bad acceleration and is horrible with passing. The back seat isn't...

Ford's Explorer Sport Trac (Or Should I say Ranger Sport Trac?): Average at Best

Date of Review:  Aug 6, 2003
The Bottom Line: Sport Trac attempts to be both passenger car and pickup truck but does neither well. Comparison with its competitors would be improved by updated suspension and cabin soundproofing.
Review: A regrettable side effect of the rising costs of buying and owning a vehicle is that it's no longer economically feasible to keep around a "beater" for special occasions. Where many of my neighbors once kept a rattletrap pickup on hand for their...

'03 Explorer V8 Eddie Bauer AWD.....Love it!

Date of Review:  Oct 5, 2004
Review: I was looking at buying the Explorer Eddie Bauer or the Honda Pilot EX-L. I have bought Honda's exclusively since high school and was nearly certain I would buy the Pilot. I drove the Pilot and loved it. Very refined with Accord like driveability...

03 Explorer- My most favorite vehicle ever

Date of Review:  Jun 4, 2007
Review: I typically get bored with vehicles after about a year or 2 and end up trading. I found this vehicle (bought it used) and it was the best decision I have ever made. I have 2 teenage kids, so I am the "soccer mom"- I can haul just about everything! I...

Great for Families

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2004
The Bottom Line: My final recommendation is that you should go down to your local Ford dealer and check it out for yourself!
Review: We bought our Sport Track XLT in April of 03. Now, this was not our first choice in vehicles, but it was in our price range and it helped that my husband works for Ford, so we got a generous discount on it. Our first choice would have been to go...

Rough ride!

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 2002
The Bottom Line: Even though the Ford Explorer Sport Trac is very versatile, its lack of heart and comfort brings it to its knees begging to be bought.
Review: Sport and Sport Trac carry on for 2003 with some safety and equipment revisions to their 1995-vintage Explorer design; the more-popular Explorer 4-dr wagon was redesigned last year (see separate entry). Sport is a 2-dr wagon. Sport Trac has a 4-dr...
