[QUOTE="Christopher L, post: 609868, member: 60992"] I would be waiting if I were going to be buying one. I have a very close friend that worked for big blue as an electrical systems engineer. He advised me to always stay away from new production vehicles until the 3rd production year. His reasoning behind it is simple. 1st year, company is simply trying to get product to the public. 2nd year, they know of design problems, but company is trying to recoupe some development costs, so no modifications. 3rd year is when they address known problems. I had a 97 F150 and it had serious problems with the intake in the motor. Just as he said, 97 was first year of production. They redesigned the engines starting with the 99 model year. Sport trac seems to be along same path. My 2002 is running great and I've had no problems, but there is the nagging trans. issue that always is in the back of my mind. Just my 2 cents.......oh and by the way....I have looked the new trac over in person and it looks a lot better in person in my opinion. Christopher [/QUOTE]
