2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac consumer reviews

203K miles and I have done next to nothing to my Sport Trac outside of regular maintenance. I wish Ford still made this truck, I have a 4X4,

I got this little truck so that my wife could drive it and wanted to make sure it fit into any garage. The F-150 was too big. The ST has turned out to be the coolest vehicle I've ever had. I've had it all over the country.....off-road, mud, snow, cross-country travels towing and being towed since I had the 4WD Neutral Transfer function (an initially 'hidden' feature) enabled for 4-down towing as motorhome dingy. Clearly my most useful vehicle. Luv it!

Very dependable . The 4 door cab works for me. The short bed with locking roll top is perfect for what I haul.

I need four wheel drive, need a power to uphill or downhill for snow and good handle and good view to drive. flat down for ski, boxes, bicycle and etc.pull with towing for small trailer with rental water jet ski and bicyle rack with hitch.

very good and nice price...............................................................................

Awesome truck overall. Would recommend doing a total tranny flush every few years. But other than that no complaints from me.

I love the car ..........................................................................................

Best car I have ever owned. Best four wheel drive system. I have 4-11 gears, posit traction...also six speed auto with over drive. The truck is so comfortable, handles superbly, favorite engine is as fast as any v-8. I can't say a bad thing about this vehicle in all these years....Its been perfect!

My dad bought this truck for my mom back in 2003. I just started college and needed a car since I was commuting. He decided to buy himself a used car and hand this one to me because it is so reliable and safe. We've gone on at least 15 camping trips with this truck, half of which were in camping areas over 300 miles away. No problems at all. I'd like to add the fact that I have 5 people in my family and on those long camping trips we fit perfectly fine. My two siblings and I sat in the back. Me and my middle brother are 5'8" and the youngest only 11 but we fit well nonetheless and very comfortably as well. I've only been using it for 2 months and I absolutely love it. In the future if I am able to get my hands on a 2010 sport trac I will definitely do it but for now I am more than satisfied. 10/10

Bought this truck in the past year and she takes me anywhere, I use it as a daily driver and a racer, I have done many performance modifications to it, such as fuel injection ratio tuner, K&N cold air intake, champion spark plugs, tuned the camshaft a little, etc. and I did some cosmetic work on it as well such as painted rims, mesh grille, dipped my truck pearlescent, put neon lights in the cab hooked up to a toggle switch, put rain guards on the doors, new nerf bar, etc. it is all the kind of mean look you want it to be at night and a family vehicle during the day. Easily modify-able and tunable. But the problem I have run into twice is this truck is a maintenance queen, sure it's very reliable, but you have to tend to it constantly. It eats Control arms and ball joints and bearings like it's candy or birthday cake. I've changed out two control arms already and every bearing. And it's a pain in the butt and it does take all day, so I hope you have time on your hands. It's a very good truck, if you can keep up with the work.
