2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac - 4.0 liter, V6. Not the best milage - but between 18 and 21 mpg.
I ordered this little truck as my mandantory company vehicle upgrade in 2000. We were allowed to keep a company vehicle for not more than 75,000 miles and/or 4 years, I had put 90,000 miles on this little truck in 2 years. My territory of responsibility ranged from central Oregon to 800 miles into B.C. Canada. I traveled a LOT! I was told to upgrade. Nope, I loved the little truck! Finally, the heat was on. I had to order another vehicle because little truck had 160,000 miles - without ANY service short of regular oil changes and one brake pad replacement. I bought the vehicle from the company in 2006 (good price -nearly SCRAP) ! I retired in 2009. I took little truck to Huddle Automotive and asked Gary to replace the rubber parts - belts, hoses, etc. (Hell - it was all 10 years old and lots of milage!) - and tell me what else might be wrong....NOTHING! Now, we're looking backward at 250,000 miles. I just put a on new set of 70,000 mile tires. I really expect little truck to wear them out. I believe this little truck will go 400,000 miles and more. A great vehicle!
