2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac appreciate its stability and spacious interior, with many enjoying its sturdy performance on various terrains. However, some drivers have expressed concerns about the utility of the pickup bed and issues with the transmission. The lack of all-wheel drive options has also been a downside for those needing better traction."
The pick up bed is useless at 4' deep. Nice ride and decent gas mileage.
May 28, 2008This is a great truck, very sound and sturdy. It handles excellent on gravel, snow, etc. The interior is very friendly too. The one major down side is the transmission. I had to get it re-built at around 80,000 km's., spent around 2 grand on that. Very disappointing!
September 14, 2010( Id rate it a 4.5 ) Ive had my Sport Trac for 19 years! The only major engine repair I needed to do was to replace the fuel pump over 5 years ago. I wish I had the onboard compass/temperature gauges but other than that Ive been toying with the idea of replacing the engine should it ever fail which it has not done after 230,000 miles. Its roomy for my long legs and 62 frame. I have a 2-wheel drive and I have noticed poor traction on steep grades with no weight in the back so an all wheel or 4-wheel drive option would have been nice in a handful of situations. The center console armrest is probably the weak link in the interior. It has broken twice and needed to be replaced at a cost of ~$140. But after 19 years, Im still not quite ready to let it go.
