[QUOTE="Bill Faulder, post: 942790, member: 67960"] I became Parts Manager at local Ford store in Ohio in 1973. We did a lrge wholesale business delivering parts to Independent Body Shops and with two trucks on road every day I needed to save fuel. I used one F-150 and a Ford Courier compact pickup. The Courier was great on fuel economy but not as nice to drive as F-150. This changed with intro of Ranger. I drove many Rangers and owned several. I quickly went to the Super Cab on my own vehicle and then really loved the jump doors when intrduced on Super Cab. I knew that soon we would have a Super Crew Ranger and that I was sure I would have one. I waited and waited.... finally bought a Sport Trac as next best as I loved my Rangers ! As luck would have it, I fell in love with my Trac and find in this stage of my life it is near perfect vehicle for me. Would I adjust and love a Super Crew F-150 if I had one? I love the look of the F-150 and probably like the room as I am 6' 2" and 240 but the Trac has plenty of room and more important fits in my garage. It is easy for us to get in as I am now near 70 and my wife and friends are all near or over 70. My Grandkids are 3 and 5 and they can hop right in. I thought the bed would be too short but it does what I want to do. I have a small farm a few miles from my residence and it hauls fine with good trailer capacity if I need more room.. Please Ford continue a perfect vehicle like the Trac for me and many of my friends who also love this vehicle. I will go to brand X if I have to but sure don't want to. You have done this to me once, Ford as I bought an Aerostar for my main family vehicle the first year they came out. I then bought a Windstar the first year they came out followed by a second 2000 Windstar. Ready for Freestar and then you quit mini vans. No problem,I thought as I will just go to the leader of Mini Vans, CHRYSLER! That is what I get for thinking ! Road noise, loose fitting doors, problems and problems. Nothing real serious yet but have to wonder what is ahead. One simple problem but very annoying? The Chrysler speed control buttons and power window controls are not lighted ! Since my wife drives it most of time and me only at night I sometimes have to turn on dome light to operate speed control ! DUH!!!! Hope I have not bored you with my story but we must continue to give a united voice to Ford on the Sport Trac !! Who can we call or e-mail at Ford? Thanks for listening ! Bill (Wanting and hoping to be a FORD man!) Ford you have been very good to me in my work and I want to continue to support you by driving your vehicles ! [/QUOTE]
