Used Car Review - Ford Explorer Sport Trac (2000-2004)
Car Choices:
The 4.0 V6 gasoline which produces 205hp is the only option available. It prefers early shifts, not to be driven hard especially the automatic transmission - which has five forward gears - helps you save fuel.
Unless you drive in rough roads most of the time, the 4x2 is more than adequate for your needs. This variant gives you ABS brakes, airbags, bed liner, power pedals, cassette player with CD, on board computer, keyless entry, and alarm. 4x4 models gain fog lamps, moon roof, leather seats, and dual control audio system with headphone jack. Added in 2003 which slots between the 4x2 and the 4x4 is the NBX which is 2WD then adds roof rails, step board, and water proof rubber flooring and floor mats.
