  Good Lookin - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By mamudo - November 4 - 2:00 am

  We think our truck is a "looker". It is great to have a smaller truck with people space and cargo space. Few things can be improved upon, and that is the brakes go really fast and the door lock pinches if you have your arm resting on the edge when the truck is put in drive and the automatic door lock engages.

  Luckier than Most? - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By vickist - October 24 - 10:00 am

  I currently have 54,000 miles on my Sport Trac. At 53,000 I had to have the dust shield on the front brakes replaced. Had to have the bolt holding the drivers seat to the floor replaced shortly after I bought the vehicle. The squeeking brakes gets me a lot of unwanted attention -- but the dealer also says that cant be fixed. Just read about the 2 new recalls. I presume that most of you had your hood latch replaced with the first recall.

  Ah, my sport trac, how I love it. - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By alidawoo21 - September 5 - 2:00 am

  I love my Explorer Sport Trac. It is fun and easy to drive. The problem with most four door trucks with full sized back seats is that they are so darned long, they are hard to drive. I love my Explorer because it drives like an SUV, but I can haul stuff like a truck. I only have two complaints: 1.mine didnt come with a cover for the bed, so if it rains I have to put the stroller in the back seat, and 2.the gas mileage isnt that great.

  This is a great truck/SUVcombo for the single person. When you add in two kids and two car seats, you run out of room very quickly.

  The only complaint I have is the idler pulley keeps squeaking, even after replacement. Other than that Iam very happy with the vehicle.

  Still running & I do not plan to sell - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By wallace4482 - August 19 - 10:00 am

  Bought new in 01, works great, got want i wanted. No major issues. It is half pick-up and half SUV. Still looks good and runs well. The only weak point is the brakes, replaced at 50,000 miles but still does not seem perfect.

  I am the original owner of my Sport Trac. I have really enjoyed the versatility of the truck. I did have trouble with the belt sounding like crickets. After getting the tensioner pulley replaced the belt doesnt make the noises anymore.

  My Sport Trac is very comfortable and fun to drive. Fuel Mileage is decent at 19 mpg average. Although it has ample pep, considering todays technology, Ford could improve performance and fuel economy just a wee bit better. Before I purchased this vehicle I was undecided between an SUV or pickup, but the Sport Trac has proven to be a nice mix of each. Would recommend! You get plenty of looks too.

  Sport Trac review - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By luckydan - March 25 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle is very versatile. From loading up friends for the lake or tools for the job, it handles it. It is sporty, rugged, and yet comfortable with many upgrades available. It has suited my lifestyle perfectly. It drives very well and has a quite ride. Biggest complaint is the gas milage but it IS an suv, what can you expect?
