Its a classic and very happy with it.

I love the handling, it is 14-years old and its a classic only made 10 years and thrilled to own it! They are very hard to find but I was especially luck with this purchase. Thanks to L&B Motors in Augusta GA they were delightful through the entire process.

This is my second one

Do you need something to pull a trailer or a boat, yet have room inside to bring guests without buying a long 4 door pick-up, this is your pick. Has beautiful styling and solid performance for a V-6. You definitely feel like you are driving a car instead of a truck. This is my second one and if they had kept making them I probably would have bought a third.

Great cross of sedan & small pick-up truck

I have 4X4 model and it has never let me down rain, snow, & even ice. Road's or off road down to fishing hole.

Great truck for the past 13 years

This truck is the perfect size for me and I have driven it all over Texas. I love that the back middle window rolls all the way down so it feels like a convertable with all the windows down.

it's been my work truck for 13 years

Mini trucks are the perfect size for me. Great gas mileage and cargo room. Plus on the sport trac the back window rolls down, so it feels like a convertible with all the windows rolled down.

Awesome Value

Great value for this vehicle. Comfort of an SUV with the features of a truck. The look is sleek and the performance is strong.

Love this Truck - Please build more

I bought this truck new in 2004. I've taken great pride in maintaining. It's a 4x4 that I don't need often but the times I've needed it, wow. It performs well in snow and mud (farm). It's always been kept in climate controlled and cleaned top to bottom on a regular basis. It still looks like it came off the showroom floor. FORD please build this Mid-size family vehicle.

this truck serves its purpose

Im a retired tech. a drummer, i love cycling , fishing and camping . this is my first sport trac and love it so much . We took it for a camping trip, it did haul everything that you'll need for camping and on top of it i had my bike on the bed cover (design it myself) fishing rods inside a 6 inch pvc pipe with cover tied it down on the side of the bed and the rear power supply is good enough to power up a laptop for us to watch movies . Further more when i have a GIG for a band i can load everything in the rear bed and i can lock it to leave it overnight . I overhauled the motor when i got it (2004 XLT ) lots of work with all the gears and chains but its all worth it , i had a good offer BUT not now im having a lot of FUN with my TRAC. Planning a cross country Trip/camping next summer with few friends .
