2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac review from North America
"A keeper"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The locking system on the tonneau cover jammed.
General comments?
Admittedly we bought the "truck" on its good looks, then we were surprised!
The performance is much better than expected, with more power than we need, and the handling ability is a real improvement over our 2 door Sport.
Lots of room inside, for us and the dogs, with features that really help. The sliding 3 way sunroof, and the power rear window gives a convertible feel. Of course it has the usual "Ford doors" that go clunk. A "wow" system, by Pioneer. The pickup box is small, but with the bed extender has proved very useful for carrying lots of tools.
