Sport Track review

This is the 2nd Sport Track we've owned. While we often have a need for a truck, we don't need a full size vehicle. This fits our needs perfectly and it easily seats 5. It's been a mechanically sound vehicle overall.

sport trac, too bad the ranger won.

Great little truck. Easy to park, 4 doors, I have no complaints about this vehicle. Too bad Ford stopped making this one in favor of their Ranger. 6 cyl has plenty of power. The gas mileage is lousy, and the ride is a little bumpy, but shocks and engine work would probably help a little.

2005 Sport Trac

I love my Adrelin Sport Trac!! I bought it brand new in 2005. It’s been a reliable and great truck. It has flex fuel option which is just an added benefit for a 15 year old vehicle. It runs great and with regular maintenance will continue to go on another 200,000 miles

Sport trac

Our Sport Trac is 12 years old and has never given us any trouble. Love it. Have always bought Fords. They have always had great vehicles. We had a Ranger we bought new, and we had over 300,000 miles on it when we traded it in for a Sport Trac. I believe Fords are the most dependable vehicles on the road. I dont think i would ever buy another brand vehicle.

A perfect fit for a second vehicle

My fiancé loves this truck. It's easy to drive and gets her up off the ground. She would rather drive this vehicle than my Azera any time. It had a few issues that the previous owner neglected to keep up but they were fixed at a reasonable cost.

I really like it. Too bad Ford stop making them. I probably would buy another one.

I really enjoy my Ford Sport Track. The only problems I have had is general maintenance and wear and tear from grocery store lots. It has over 100,000 miles on the odometer. I would buy another new one (maybe used) but Ford does not make them anymore.

Perfect for my needs.

Great size, great engine, put good tires on her and she will go anywhere a jeep can go. But also smooth on highway. Took her to Florida with 150,00 miles, she has 192,000 miles now, and going strong. Change fluids when required, fix small issues and most cars and trucks will go 200,000.

Dependable

I'm at 175k miles and have had almost no issues. In that time I've needed a thermostat housing and a fuel pressure sensor. Keep the service up to date and it just keeps going.

My Sport Trac is a trooper

Bought my 2005 sport trac used with 97,000 miles and now it has over 200,000 miles. It's been very reliable with only normal wear and tear repairs needed. The motor is still good and the body it looks cute as ever. When this truck finally dies I will look for another one and am amazed how they hold their value. Hard to believe my little truck is ten years old!
