    ako bro naka 02 sport trac ako(4x4 adrenaline spec'd)...so far 100,000 na yung reading nya...mga front pangilalimsuspension components lang pinalitan ko...normal wear and tear...no major issues basta alaga lang sa tune up/maintenance...

    ummm ok naman takbo nya..not really super fast kasi designed naman sha not for speed eh..pero kapag kailangan mo ng power...just floor it a bit..hehehe...pero syempre iba pa rin yung power ng v8(just like my e-150)...

    Nung unang beses ko ginamit yung explorer ko way back 2004 since tapos na warranty period nya sinimulan ko na ipakalikot yung engine nya kasi nga gusto ko yung takbo ng e-150... nag supercharger ako,borla catback exhaust sytem, k&n intake, superchips(para tangalin yung governed speed limit, air/fuel ratio and engine management sytem tune up). ayun hindi makahabol yung mga JAPs sa akin kahit yung navarra nung friend ko and the 3.2L pajero diesel....thou yung bagong land cruiser 200 na naka V-8 turbo intercooled diesel crdi sinasabayan ko(pero syempre ibang story na yun kasi V-8 na yun kaya hindi ko maiiwanan)..hehehe...pero nayari naman ako sa gas consumption..hahaha nag 3km/L...kaya ayun balik stock ako nung pumalo ng Php50 yung gas before...naging everyday car ko na rin kasi plus hindi na rin naman practical yung mabilis na auto with metro manila's traffic...

    well yung mga bagong pick-ups ngayon(diesel) ibang level na...ala gasoline fed na kasi CRDI plus turbo pa. ang ayoko lang kasi parang nagrerely nalang sila sa TURBO and intercooler nila..pero iba pa rin talaga yung takbo ng gasoline engine eh..hehehe..Tapos ayoko ko rin ung may black smoke na binubuga kasi sabi nga nila ang dumi daw ng diesel natin here sa philippines..may nakita nga ako new montero sport sinita ng smoke belching sa edsa...what a hassle..

    ibang iba ride ng sport trac vs asean pick up, soft yung ride parang nasa lazy boy..walang tagtag...ang close lang sa ride nya is the nissan navarra..kasi yung mga navarra americans nag design..

    then another plus is the safety....ramdam mo kagad sa bigat ng pinto na solid yung kotse unlike japs na "LATA" sorry for the harsh term...

    sa seating comfort naman... 2 thumbs up, pansinin mo yung rear cabin naka curve unlike asian designed pick ups flat...kaya kahit sa likod ka nakaupo sarap pa rin.

    ang advantage lang na nakikita ko sa mga asean pickups is that pwede silang pangharabas unlike ng sport trac ko..hehehe...
    then syempre mas high maintenance yung explorer(mahal service,parts, tapos gas pa) hehehe..

    well thats my take on the sport trac and asean pick-ups

    yung mga asean pick up owners out there this is only my opinion..pls dont get mad...peace!

    Hi guys I just sold my sedan and im thinking of buying a sport trac.

    As I scout for trac here in the web I get very confused with the models and year.

    1. why are there some with moon roof and others dont? is it depend on the year model? of its a 4x4.

    are all year models have 4x4?

    2. SOme have keypads on the lock.

    3. Why are some beige interiors and others have gray?

    and some have NBX.

    Please enlighten me up. thanks.

    can someone help me choose if white or black to get?

    1) The first launch(here in the philippines) of the sport trac doesnt have the moon-roof even thou its a 4x4 model. then the last batches of the explorer sport trac 4x4 model has the moon-roof, if i'm not mistaken 2001-2002 models. then nung tumaas na yung tax, 4x2 nbx edition nalang nilabas nila to limit the price point...
    the advantage or plus of the 4x4 over the 4x2 are the ff:
    moon-roof,premium pioneer sound sytem with built in sub, rugged design stepboard, rear a/c vents, rear audio controls and headphone jack,tonnue cover, fog lamps, shift-on-the fly 4x4 sytem, higer towing capacity, better design rims, number coded security lock/unlock pad....

    2) The Security number lock/unlock mechanism is also for the 4x4 models which is the high end model of the sport trac

    3)The interiors i think is based on the body color of the car, my uncle has a 4x4 model '02 black-interior grey, i have the same model and year color white-interior beige

    4)The Nbx models are the 4x2 models which has the stepboard(pero different desing than the 4x4 models)...tonnue cover and the gadget bag inside the center console..i think it also has foglamps na..this is basically the spec'd up 4x2 model....the non-nbx is a plain/bare 4x2 sport trac.... no stepboard,cover,foglamps....

    if u need more help or questions pls feel free to pm me, i'm glad to help! good day

    Salamat sa mga sagot sa tanong ko sir Maynard.

    Ang saya ko natupad na rin yung pangarap ko magka sport trac, pangarap ko yan since 2001, di ko lang maafford nuon kasi ang mahal.

    Ang sakit lang sa ulo ko ngayon yung gas consumption nya, kakafull tank ko lang kanina after 25kms 1/4 na lang. Kakainis! average of 4km/l ang takbo. Di kasi ako nasanay meron kasi akong vios na average 9-10km/l and accord na nasa 5-6.

    Ang bigat kasi ng katawan ng sport trac.

    Meron bang gadget na maganda para gumanda ang mileage?

    Atsaka ang problema ko ibang iba ang mga casa ng ford sa japanese casa. Parang pabaya at ang dumi di pa maganda ang customer service...
    Pinacheck ko yung sasakyan ko sa ford otis, nagpa 15k service ako and pinaayos yung door handle,

    Kinabukasan ipinabackjob ko kasi yung door handle ganon pa din (kelangan itodo ang hila sa passenger side right para bumukas ang pinto) akala ko okay na kaya inuwi ko na aba ganon pa din PLUS lahat ng pinto ko puro grasa! yung loob ng pinto ko grasa din, naka beige interior pa man din ako, tapos ang pinakainisan ko yung manibela ko halos naging gray na yung beige. Inireklamo ko sila sa email at nagsosorry, ibalik ko lang daw yung sasakyan. Di na bale sa ibang ford ko na ipapacheck...sana okay sa ford taguig.
