Strength:

Styling, versatility, roominess.

Weakness:

Wind noise, could use a boost of power.

I love this truck, even with it's minor short comings. It's a lot of fun to drive and it's still a head turner. I can rarely get out of a parking lot without somebody asking about, or commenting on the ST. It's very versatile and I it really comes in handy on ski trips. It performs well on icy, mountain roads and I had plenty of room for four people and all our gear. I've had this truck for 14 months and haven't had a single problem, not one. No shakes, rattles, vibrations, nothing. I hope more of you have the same luck. I know I haven't been this lucky with Ford products in the past. I strongly recommend the Sport Trac.

Gas mileage. It is horrible on gas.

The Sport Trac is a wonderful vehicle for family's I have 3 children two of which are in car seats and all three can sit in the back seat comfortably. I love the way it drives. It also has plenty of room for any type of person.

Model Reviewed: sport trac

Strength:

Room, Looks, and versatility

Weakness:

NONE YET!

This vehicle has every available option I was looking for. Room for the family and the hunting gear when i'm ready to hit the woods.4x4 pulls great and the 4.10 gears work really well pulling my bass boat.The looks,well the looks of the trac speak for themselves. I bought the estate green and i love it!No other sut on the road looks or drives as well as this machine. This is the first Ford i've ever owned and if i have my choice it won't be the last.

Strength:

a lot of space inside

Weakness:

the looks
the reliability
power

I had this truck for 2 months and the windows in the back wouldn't come down then I brought it to the dealership to get it fix, but the people that work their treated me with no respect. A week later after I got my truck back from the shop I had transmission problem. As a really busy person I didn't have time to bring it to the dealership ever month so I sold it and got my self a 2001 quad-cab Toyota Tacoma 4X4 V6 with TRD (a truck that I can rely on because a few of my friends didn't even have a single problem with theirs) which has more power,looks, and reliability to it and I love it.

Model Reviewed: SportTrac 4x4

Strength:

Style, rear passenger room, auto rear window, versatility.

Weakness:

TOWING CAPACITY, power, mpg, rear door pulls.

I have had two problems now with the truck. The passenger side rear door pull came loose within two weeks of purchase. After six months I was towing a company sample trailer within tounge and load specifications and the fiberglass on both sides of the bed TORE APART. Perhaps this has something to do with the way the hitch was installed but it is bolted to the frame of the vehicle and seems to be as sturdy as possible. It looks like someone backed into both sides of the bed. There is approx. six inch rip in the fiberglass on each side. Beware of heavy loads on this vehicle.

Toyota T100. T100 is a much stronger, although admittedly a true pickup.

Strength:

It's cute, it's a girly truck

Weakness:

I purchased it brand new and I'm having problems already

It's been in the shop once already, for the fuel pump, and I just dropped it to the shop agin today for the sqeaky noise that's coming from the bed. When I come down the street, everybody turns to see what's making that sound. Very DISAPPOINTED!!
