[QUOTE="swshawaii, post: 858471, member: 67547"] Unfortunately the ST will probably always be known as an "afterthought". Just the fact it uses a modified "Explorer" frame that was used for many years makes it somewhat of a "freak". The purist "experts" will never give the ST the accolades it deserves. Don't get me wrong , I own a 2005 XLS and this is the most versatile truck I've ever owned. I believe from the launch date in '01 thru the last "Gen 1" '05, Ford got it right. Case in point, look at the many transformations of the IMO "classic" "Ranchero". I have owned FOUR of them starting from the "Falcon", "Torino", and ending with the LTD II derived '79 (last year produced). Experts will NEVER give the Ranchero "classic" status because it wasn't built from the "ground up". Same probably holds true for the El Camino. Screw 'em, we know what we like. And just to piss 'em off let's ALL say, "CLASSIC FORD SPORT TRAC". :cool: [/QUOTE]
