2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac review from North America

I have an Explorer Sport Trac. I just love the vehicle. It cost me a little more than I wanted to spend, but it has been my favorite vehicle so far.

It sits really high up so I can safely see what other vehicles in front of me are doing.

It's super convenient with 4 doors and the bed extender that's removable.

I use synthetic oil to extend my gas mileage, because that is the one thing I'm not impressed with after driving cars my whole life.

I get about 20 miles per gallon. With gas prices soaring, I'm getting rid of it.

I have had issues with the tailgate squeaking when it is up, so I usually drive with it down just so I don't have to hear the squeak.

The steering wheel started wearing really badly and I have an appointment to fix that since I have bumper to bumper.

I'm a little concerned lately because it idles a little rougher than it used to, like it needs new spark plugs. And it's way too early in its life for that.

This truck keeps me from getting tickets. It is too much work to get it to speed. I feel like the gas is just draining out of it.

The seats could be a little better, but I'm one of those people that would like it to completely mold to give me great posture.
