The Explorer bed is lined from the factory. It's probably the reason why no one's really bothered to make a liner for it.

Carryboy's office is in Banwe near the corner of Retiro.

I'm contemplating on buying a second hand Ford Exporer Sport Trac. I've never driven one though. Can anyone here provide me feedback on this vehicle? I'd like to hear about:

1. Overall performance
2. Gas Consumption
3. Ride Comfort
4. Maintenance (ease of maintenance, cost of parts, etc.)
5. Common problems/issues
6. Advantages over other pick-ups

Thank you very much in advance.

5. I bought it for 1.4 million and sold it 6 years later for 450T. Thats how much I hated it.

As for the whale-like handling... depends on the year model... later Sport Tracs have a better rear suspension.

But for the kind of money you spend, and the insane amount of gas it uses, a diesel SUV is a much better buy.

Overall performance is below par compared with the high end diesel pick-ups. although power is very good and highway speeds is excellent. i have gone 150kph in the STAR tollway easily. Torque is just average to below average as compared with diesel engined pick-up. But specs and Options are plentiful.

Gas consumption is woeful. 4 km/l is average and can go up to around 6-7km/L in highway driving.

Ride is hard and bouncy. nothing compared to the expedition or F-150. which is softer and more comfort oriented.

maintainance is also quite bad. parts are more expensive than their japanese diesel counterparts. typical ford reliabilty which is bad.

common problems is brakes, air filter/intake. bad resale value.

Its only advantage over other pickups is its all options availability with bed cover, sunroof, cruise control, etc. Gas lovers pick-up, for those who hate the diesel clutter. Plus the looks of the sport-trac is quite good.

I'd keep the CIVIC. The Explorer sport trac is woefully underpowered in spite of it's 6cylinde engine and the under-chassis parts are painfully expensive.

Edit: Oops, I didn't see the date on the last post. Sorry, gravedig na pala 'to.
