  • Trac Lover - 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac

    Ive been searching for a 4x4 for the last month, and kept coming back to the Sport Trac. I got a great deal on this 05 with tons of features that will more than meet my needs. Will be great for work and personal travel and elegant enough for a night out on the town.

  • Adrenalin all the way - 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
    By -

    A plush SUV up front and a lockable, watertight, pick-up bed out back. Nice ride, smooth 5 speed transmission and good power. Very comfortable seats, with leather, power and heat. Excellent ventilation with the sunroof and power back-glass window. The sound system is one of the best around, and worth the $.

  • Dream Car or truck it has it all - 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
    By -

    Has good acceleration, comfortable to ride in, easy to handle. The side rails are a must have if youre going to use it as a family car. I thought the moonroof was just an extra expense - boy was I wrong. Its great for evening drives. If you open the moonroof on the open road, you need to open the rear windows a little to cut the roar; if you dont the interior is very noisy.

  • Good Truck/Car - 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
    By -

    Actually went into the Ford dealership to look at the new Mustang and drove home a Sport Trac. Handles very good, rides comfortably, good sound system and functions well in 4 wheel drive. The truck bed is just big enough to handle daily needs and with the cover offers a secure "large trunk". So far I have enjoyed this vehicle a lot.

    I have bought three of these, based off the old Ranger platform they have been very reliable and sturdy, after putting Michelin tires on they get better mileage and ride tremendously better. The rear seating arangement is better than all the other 4dr pickup suts, comfortable for 4 people with thier junk as well, always stable and very well mannered on the road. It is not a sports car or hot rod--buy a Lightning or a 2008 v-8 Sport Trac, gets good mileage. Always over 20 hwy and very capable even 2wd in snow and ice, also is a flex fuel vehicle and easy to maintain for the owner. Best SUV buy out there

  • Great Buy - 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
    By -

    I had owned a 91 Explorer and enjoyed it for 11 years. So I thought I would give the SportTrac a try. I like the dual use concept vehicle. The room and ride are great. I got the the XLT 2WD with tonneau cover. With the dealers discount and Ford rebate I purchased mine for $18,990 plus tax and title! All the options you need, cruise, air, auto, radio/CD, OLW wheels, roll down rear window. What a price! A good $4K less than nearest comparable vehicle.

  • I love my Sport Trac! - 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
    By -

    I absolutely love this truck. You get the best of both worlds as an SUV or as a truck with the bed on back. The interior is very luxurious with all the extras. My best vehicle purchase so far!

  • I LOVE MY SPORT TRAC - 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
    By -

    I traded in my Mustang GT for this truck and my only regret is the Sport Trac not having the power the GT had. Other than that I love it! And it does get a lot of looks on a hot summer day with all the windows down and clean as can be.

    Installed a intake and exhaust, the gas mileage is incredible. I have an 03 Ranger, an 00 Excursion, and a 03 Focus; by far I like the Sport Trac the best.

  • perfect for my lifestyle - 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
    By -

    I always fancied having a pick-up because I do a lot of maintenance with properties I own and also like to take my bikes and other stuff to the beach. This is the perfect all rounder. Very practical with lots of nice details like the back window that goes down and all the anchors to tie down any loads. With the bed extender the capacity should be plenty for most occasions. Solid, tough build quality and fine engine. We have 3 vehicles. This is the cheapest and most popular. There are numerous times when the Sporttrac has been indispensible that I and my friends are constantly grateful for such an excellent purchase.
