Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richard L" data-source="post: 942791" data-attributes="member: 52972">I am not a pickup truck kind of guy, but after seeing my first Sport Trac back in 2000, I said that it was the only truck I would consider owning.  Less than a month later, I bought one...a 2001 Job1 in Torreador Red.  To my suprise, I like the truck so much and enjoyed the folks on this site so much that I bought another new Sport Trac in late 2003.  This time it was Black and was a loaded XLT.When my wife passed in 2007 I did not have a need for two vehicles and began to see the hand writing on the wall that the economy was starting to fade, gas prices would be going up and that Trucks and SUV's would not be the future for me.  I traded in my Sport Trac and my wifes crappy Saturn Ion and bought a Mercedes.  I have always wanted a Mercedes or a BMW and thought this was the right time to buy, so I did.   I don't have any regrets, but there are times when I would have liked to have still had either of my old Sport Trac's back.Like my old 1965 GTO, perhaps in another 20 years or so the values will sky-rocket and I will kick myself in the ass that I ever got rid of it...but only time will tell.Perhaps in a few years Ford will resurrect the old Sport Trac name.  If they do, I hope they follow the same path as they did with the new retro styled Mustangs, and don't screw it up like GM did with the new 2004 GTO....Rich</blockquote>
