    Tire size

    Hum ... my parts/service guy at the Ford dealership advised that it would not make any difference in ride or gas mileage. He said it would give me a "more solid" ride.

    Tire size

    When I purchased my 2010 Sport Trac Limited it came with 235/18 tires. Any problem replacing them with the Michelin 265/18 tires? Thanks, Jim

    12mpg in town :(

    Around town I'm getting a steady average of 17 mpg. On long trips (DC to Boston) I average 21. I wouldn't consider myself a fast driver, but I certainly am not a slow driver either. Gas mileage aside, I wouldn't get rid of my Trac for anything. It serves numerous purposes - I can get up in...

    Long trip, good ride!

    Just returned from a Friday wedding in Salem, Mass. Only bad thing about the trip was the long ride. We drove up on Thursday and returned today (500 miles on Thursday and 500 miles on Saturday). May not be a lot of driving for some, but a bit much for me and the wife. I will say however, the...

    Cracking Paint

    My 2001 "Island Blue" ST had the same problem (I have since traded it in for a new 2010 ST). Although it did have small cracks in the paint - hood only, the vehicle still looked great even with 164,000 miles on the odometer. I was always concerned that the paint would begin to chip or flake...

    Nav System

    I read the book more than once and still can't figure this one out (getting old). When I program an address into my Nav System, the GPS refuses to take me on major roads (interstates, toll roads, etc.). Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks, JimG

    loose door handle

    George, I feel your pain. I recently traded in my 2001 ST for a 2010 ST. I also noticed the loose handles you spoke of on my 2001. However, they never fell off and always worked as expected. All in all, the 2001 ST was one of the finest vehicles I ever owned. If this 2010 works as well...

    Could this thing have a leak?

    Yesterday, on the way home from work I noticed in the rear view mirror water droplets on and around the rear window and window molding. We had some serious rains here yesterday (Balto/Wash area) so I assumed it was on the "outside" of the widow. Moments later I heard very loud noises...

    4 Wheelin' at the Beach

    Just returned from the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We took our new 4x4 STL on the beach north of Corolla. What a great experience. Other than taking a hose and squirting it down (over and under) is there anything else I should do? I hear the stories about ocean salt water and such. Thanks.

    Gas mileage update ...

    Last month I began posting my surprise about the low gas mileage I was getting in my 2010 ST Limited. Many of you advised that as I get more mileage on the vehicle, my MPG should get better. Well, you were right. On a recent 300 mile trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, my ST got 17.3...

    It's gone..

    I felt the same way when I sold my 2001 - however, I traded it on a 2010 STL. The dream continues. Man, this is a great vehicle! I can't believe the Sport Trac concept has been discontinued. What were they thinking? JimG

    Better gas mileage ???

    Hi Guys, On a previous post I inquired into the Sport Tracs inability to get good gas mileage. Well, I just arrived at the Outer Banks of North Carolina (288 miles) and discovered that my 2010 STL got 17.3 mpg. Now granted, not great, but better than the 13 mpg the onboard computer was...

    What's above the Running Boards?

    I've only had my 2010 ST Limited for a few weeks. I'm beginning to see the differences between my 2001 Gen1 Job 1 and the 2010 Limited. I've noticed that there is a gap between the top of the running board and the door. There appears to be a flexible tube running horizontally in there as well...
