Best Dealership

We were very happy with our purchase from Bob`s Auto Sales. The Sport Trac has everything plus more. We have been given so many compliments & we are spreading the good deal to others. Couldn`t be happier with the price, friendly staff, Mike was the best salesman & explained every detail. God bless your business.

Great versatile SUV /truck.

It’s like a truck and SUV crossover. Unless you need a huge truck bed this is a great truck. Very comfortable inside. Great performance. Smooth ride.

Fantastic Little Truck

Handles the Canadian Rockies like a champ, currently sits at 240,000kms and going strong with absolutely 0 mechanical issues at all. Albeit the fuel economy isn’t great, but can improved with efficient tires, 2WD, etc. Where it falls in fuel economy it makes up for in performance and reliability. No signs of any timing chain issues, transmission fluid only changed once in its lifetime of the vehicle. Stock everything and oil changed regularly. Only small complaint is the interior design and the transmission is a sloppy shifter but as expected and can be tuned to shift firmer is wanted. It was most noticeable while climbing up the Rockies, however it downshifted at the right moments and kept pace with traffic easily, the 4.0L V6 boasts enough power to keep up, it’s no speed demon but it gets the job done without killing itself. Primary use is commuting, but handles family long distance trips with ease and makes it quite enjoyable as it’s one comfortable unit, and produces an exuberant amount of heat on cold winter days.

Great condition for its age

I needed a vehicle in a hurry, I had my previous vehicle over 10 years and it finally quit on me, so I came here to purchase this Ford Sport Trac and I'm pretty impressed with it.

The perfect Truck it fits. It is the right size.

I love this truck, I own a 2002 and I never want to own a car again. This is my second one. I am waiting for FORD new design of this truck, so I can purchase my new one. FORD I am waiting on you please do not let me down. So many people offer to buy my truck. So many women love this truck the size & comfort, a little house on wheels, the rear window just amazing. FORD design, design, design. I have been looking at the 2005 the last units made, but I just believe FORD will come through with the new EXPLORER SPORTS TRAC. I am sitting on ready to go to my FORD dealer and buy my next new truck. Thank you

Most versatile, reliable vehicle I have owned.

I drove this truck everywhere in all kinds of weather with confidence. I like the convenience of the keypad to access vehicle without the key. you will not find a better used vehicle.

Rides so comfortable and have so much room

This is the perfect truck for me. I love the room, not only in the front, but the back seat is HUGE. I could not be any happier.
