The locking system on the tonneau cover jammed.
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.
I love this car. I have a 2001 Model and have around 23500 miles on it. I have had absolutely no problems with the car except the Check Engine light came on for an emissions problem. Other than that not a problem ever.
The 4.0L V6 has great power never leaving you struggling to get up to speed. Also the interior is extremely comfortable with a good sound system.
My Sport Trac also has a very good ride to it and handles superbly on Snow especially with the 4 wheel drive.
Overall I must say that the Explorer Sport Trac is a great combination between a Truck and an SUV and so far for me has been a great investment.
