Ford Explorer Sport Trac - Good suvs?

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone here has any experience with the explorer sport trac's?

Looking at getting an suv for the gf and like the idea of all the heated seats, leather, 4x4 etc for the brutal canadian winter coming up. Pretty well priced too for the extra bells and whistles.

Would be an earlier model 2001-2005 model. Good vehicles? reliable?

 

If you're looking for heated seats/leather/interior specifically, you're better off getting aftermarket. You'll save more money and get exactly what you want that way.

 

you will flip over and die.

they're actually decent for what they are...can't really haul much with them but they are pretty comfortable. the suspension is ridiculously soft, be warned.

 

Thanks guys,

I think it would be pretty appropriate truck. I guess like any vehicle if you maintain it, drive it nicely there is no reason it shouldnt last your right

 

I have read in many places that the sport trac is literally the least reliable SUV that you can buy, right down there with land rovers. Internet search will turn this up; edmunds, jd power, consumer reports, etc.
