Just purchased a new 2010 Sport Trac 4x4 Limited. I traded in my 2001 (2WD) Sport Trac after 144,878 carefree miles. I must say, that was one of the best vehicles I ever owned and no doubt it would have provided many more years of faithful service. However, I recently learned that this would be the last year the Sport Tracs would be built so I was faced with the decision - to buy or not to buy. I had a difficult time finding one. In my tri-state area (MD, VA, PA) I could only locate 5 new ones. My Maryland dealer manged to get mine from Fredericksburg, VA (about 80 miles away). It arrived with more than I wanted - NAV System, leather seats, 18" wheels, and a class 3 hitch - all items my original SP didn't have. My wish list was small - a moon roof, CD Player and 4x4. After last winter my 2WD proved less than adequate. Anyway, we miss our old vehicle but are adapting easily to our 2010 version. In fact, the extra options are really turing out to be excellent features. We are still somewhat preplexed why Ford has decided to end the SP production. I, for one, think that the SP is really one of the true Sport Utility Vehicles on the road today. I'm happy I made the purchase and look forward to another 10 yeras with my new Sport Trac.
