    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

    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...

    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

    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...

    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...

    Bed Extender and Cross Bars

    Hello All, another bed extender for sale. I traded in my 2001 ST and forgot to attach it. Now it's sitting in my shed looking for a new home. Anybody in the Baltimore/Washington area that is interested let me know. I'm looking to get $80.00 for it but don't want to go thru the hassel of...

    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...

    I'm starting to like the Black

    Hello ST'ers. Well, I'm almost at 1,000 miles. My new 2010 ST Limited is outstanding. Black wasn't my first choice for colors, but because this is the last production year, and supply's are dwindling, I figured I'd take what I can get - as long as it had the other options I was looking for -...

    Gas Mileage - what, am I driving an Armored Car !!!

    I just filled up the tank on my new 2010 Limited V6 4x4 ST. When I calculated my MPG I was very surprised to see that I only achieved 13.6 miles per gallon. I have 800 miles on the vehicle and have been driving conservatively, wanting to break it in slowly. I expected to get somewhere around...

    Extended Service Plans - are they worth the expense?

    Ford offers Extended Service Plans that are advertised to save the consumer money in the long run. I kept my 2001 Sport Trac for 9 years /10 months and racked up close to 150,000 miles on it. I can honestly say that my maintenance bills were reasonable for the duration of time that I owned it...

    First Oil Change

    I just passed the 500 mile mark on my new Sport Trac 4x4 Limited. The owners manual states that I don't have to bring it in for service until 7,500 miles. I find that interesting, I would think that after the first 3,000 miles or so, the oil would need to be changed or an adjustment or two...

    Door Dings !

    Does anybody find it interesting that the GEN2 Sport Tracs do not come with side panel door guards? My 2001 ST did, but my brand new 2010 ST 4x4 Limited does not. It seems to me that before long some inconsiderate parker will open their door too wide, or too fast and diviot my my very black...

    Warning Lables on the sun visors

    Does anybody have any ideas for getting the Warning Lables off of the sun visors of my new ST? I've attempted to peel them off with my fingernail but only part of the lable came off. Surely, Ford doesn't expect me to look at them for the next few years. The dealership advised to use the...

    Help - where's the tow hooks ????

    Hello All, I traded in my 2001 ST and purchased a 2010 ST 4x4 Limited. I like the concept of the Sport Tracs because of their versatility. I can carry my bike, my kayak and my cargo carrier conveniently on the vehicle without much of a fuss. However, after purchasing the 2010, I...

    Gen1 - Gen2 ???

    I think I know this ... but, I gotta ask. Would someone explain the difference between Gen1 and Gen2. What year was the switch made and what are the major differences. I had a 2001 ST and just traded up for the 2010.

    How much is it worth?

    As reported earlier, I traded in my 2001 Sport Trac for a new 2010 Sport Trac Limited. However, I still have the cargo cage bed extender, the cross bars for the roof rack (both Ford products) and a luggage rack system that I installed over the tonneau cover to carry my mountain bike. Since my...
