2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac review from North America
"Sport + Utility + Reliability = Fun!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gem module went bad at approximately 35,000 miles. The dealer replaced it with no problems.
The oil pressure switch is currently not working when the truck is cold.
Center armrest is now developing a small crack in it.
General comments?
We have enjoyed the 60,000 miles of trouble free driving and plan on doing a lot more.
Great vehicle for a family.
We did a lot of research when buying this vehicle brand new, and are very happy with our choice still 3 years later.
