2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac review from North America
"Great truck, but poor gas mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leather bed cover fell apart and flew off the back.
Emissions problem at 35000 miles. The problem is the DPFE valve which isn't costly to repair, but the mechanic told me it doesn't really do anything.
General comments?
This truck gets poor gas mileage, about 18 miles per gallon.
It is very comfortable for me and my toddler. The cab is roomy enough for a family of 4.
It's very reliable, never left me stranded.
It's a great compromise between a truck and an SUV.
