Not sure if this was already posted, but one of my most frequented car websites just posted their review on the new ST. Be advised, it was not very nice.
The button that switches the Sport Trac into 4-Low is positioned immediately above the passenger’s temperature control switch. A chilly female friend nearly caused a busted axle at a stoplight.
The tonneau cover adds insult to injury. Woe betides anyone who has to subject their knees to rock shards when they crawl underneath it to release the final latch, or carry the heavy thing in the rain.
Not only does the Ford Sport Trac fail to qualify as a “real†pickup,...
Last Wednesday, Standard and Poor’s downgraded the Ford Motor Company’s credit rating. “We expect the company's financial profile to weaken further during 2006,†S&P declared. “A period when the US economy and U.S. light-vehicle sales are robust."
I thought you had to have the vehicle in neutral and foot ont he brake in order to engage 4L?? Did they change it, or is tis guy just looking for something to complain about???
Why Ford does not simply rip-off Chevy’s “midgate†is a question best left to Standard and Poor’s.
Mustangs have out sold any car GM has built to compete against it. Sales numbers prove what people want to buy, not the HP ratings.
Now to the real reason I am making this post.

Anyone with even the slightest knowledge about a automobile would know you can not drop a Ford vehicle into 4x4 LOW without the tranny in neutral, food on brake, and vehicle at a dead stop.

The toneau cover can and is supposed to be removed from the outside of the vehicle. Because of your incompetance and ignorance does not mean it is a bad design.

Ford does not market the "Explorer Sport Trac" as a truck. It is an SUV, hence the name Explorer Sport Trac. It has the comfort of a SUV, but extra space in the back for anything you could need. Sure it doesn't do what a real pick-up can do, but for the average guy living in a housing development, we all need a truck-like vehicle with room for 4, but still fit in a garage.
No 1/2 ton truck will do that. The Sport Trac will do that and still look good, though not as good as the 2001 to 2005 Sport Trac does, but Ford is still the market leader in the vehicle segment.
