After six years and 54,000 miles (bought her with 9455 on the clock), I bid a fond farewell to my 2004 ST. My Dad's no longer driving and has an almost-new 09 Fusion with super low miles, full bumper to bumper till 2014; and due to health conditions he can't climb into the ST so I will take over his Fusion for him and drive him where he needs to go. The ONLY reason I'm getting rid of my ST.
Luckily, a kind waitress at his favorite eatery just blew her engine in her Kia, and her husband's looking for a truck to do construction work on the side, so new "parents" were found. Never even had to advertise it and got what I wanted ($7,000). No issue with the Salvage title either. Glad she's going to good folks who need her and will use her. They couldn't believe the condition the truck is in.
I will miss the 4X4 in the winter, throwing whatever I want into the bed, and not worrying about some idiot rear ending me (gonna miss metal bumpers for sure).
Sad they discontinued the ST from Ford. I have my wife's 2011 Explorer to get around in heavy snow, but it won't be the ST (which was unbelievable in the snow). Someday I hope to "upgrade" to a new F150 with the EcoBoost (not for a few years until they iron out any issues (and I save up a big down payment). If I come across a Second Generation ST at a great price, who knows.
Enjoy your Tracs. I already miss mine and I don't "deliver" it until tomorrow.
