I bought my Sprt Trac 3 years ago from a small

I bought my Sprt Trac 3 years ago from a small dealership. Just over 200,000 miles on it. I love it!! I had a few things that had to be replaced bc it had sat in storage for a couple years. By far the best vehicle I've owned! I'll never get rid of it ❤️

So dependable and cheap to own

I bought my SportTrac used in 2018 with 152k miles for $2,000. I've put 75k miles on it in 5 years, and it's by far the cheapest vehicle to own and maintain that I've ever had. And my tires have almost 70k miles on them - I've never had a car so easy on tires. I'm going to have to keep it until it dies just on principle.

Best xxxx vehicle I've owned yet....

208,000 miles 22years old... Only thing replaced yet is an alternator, and shocks.. Runs like a million bucks... Very little rust steel looks great. Probably one of the most reliable trucks or cars I've ever owned. Love it would recommend it new or used... 💯 Got my money's worth.

Most reliable truck I’ve owned.

I bought this truck new in 2001. I have never had a major problem since I bought it and it has 250,000 miles already and it’s still going strong. I would strongly recommend this truck to all the truck lovers out there. It’s small but it’s terrible!

Great family truck

Great truck for its age! Only 2 owners!! Well worth a look! 2 USB ports heat and a/c work. Moonroof and rear window are a plus and great for hauling as well!

Over 180,000 miles on it.

I loved this vehicle. I was the original owner and it was reliable, great to drive, perfect with kids, and everything still worked until it was totaled on the freeway when someone going over 80 mph slammed into the back of it. They hit the truck so hard that it jettisoned forward out of control from the slow lane spun across the lanes to the left of me, flipped onto the drivers side, spun and I ended up in the fast lane and stopped on its side, facing the stopped vehicles facing me. I was incredibly lucky that I didn't die and was pulled out of the passenger window. Yes the power window button side on the freeway, worked. I believe in the Ford Tuff saying, it is remarkable I didn't get more injuries.

A real cool truck/car combination in one vehicle

Strong engine, great cargo space, good visibility from cab, sturdy interior components, has a good heavy duty feel about it, 5 sp. pulls good strong through the gears, temp control works very adequate in that cab size.
