YZF Voltage · 07-16-2008, 01:02 PM

anyone have one, or head pros or cons about the truck. im really thinking about picking one up for my new truck. would be used but a newer one.

timpryor · 07-16-2008, 01:10 PM

Its an explorer basically, my moms explorer is an 01 with like 125k miles on it and we have hav no major issues, just routine maint.

**thesource** · 07-16-2008, 01:12 PM

We had an 02 with a 5 speed and it was a good little truck .

YZF Voltage · 07-16-2008, 01:12 PM

yeh its an explorer with a bed, which is what i really need, didnt want to go full size though bc of gas.

Agent Jones · 07-16-2008, 01:15 PM

nice truck....but they really arent that good on gas.

timpryor · 07-16-2008, 01:15 PM

Ray it would still be more than doubling his current mileage

yes i know but he said he wanted to get it over a full size truck because of gas. what i was saying is that it doesnt get that much better gas milage over getting a full size

Jeff's Dad has one, and I do not like it. He has had some issues with it...but the damn thing never lets me out of the back door. The ride is really choppy too....I would not personally buy one...but you have to do what you can with what you have so if that is in your budget maybe yours will be better.

Ours pulled down around 17 mpg with the 5 speed and over sized tires on it . Had plenty of power and suited our family well . We got rid of it because my wife wanted a new GT and I ended up buying a new one for her on a good deal and great warranty .

YZF Voltage · 07-16-2008, 03:39 PM

17 is a hell of alot better than what i get now. thats for sure.

and well i just like the way they look.

03 R Code · 07-16-2008, 04:30 PM

I'm in love with these things. I've been looking for one in the Comp. Orange looking color they come in. If I found the right one I'd probably sell the Mach to get it. Ford had talk of making an SVT version of it with the last gen. lightning motor and AWD options, but that sadly died when they introduced it as an "Adrenaline" package. The only thing special it the optional AWD... I think they do come with 3v V-8's if you want it though.

T5killa · 07-16-2008, 06:18 PM

My wife's old sport trac would knock down 24 mpg on the highway. This was a while back though. We got rid of it because it felt like a tank..

JENA · 07-16-2008, 07:01 PM

guy driving sport trac = GHEY

Just what I've heard (and agree with)

YZF Voltage · 07-17-2008, 01:40 PM
