Used 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac for Sale

The truck drives and performs well and I really like it aesthetically - specifically the exterior design and the interior dash / controls. The seats are comfortable and overall it is just a great truck to drive. The power is perfect for my needs and it has never let me down in those terms. It is also HIGHLY functional for moving items (large and small) with all of the numerous tie-downs. The folding cargo extender comes in handy and has often been of use. One drawback to it is that the removal and installation of it (which has sometimes been necessary) is not readily apparent (I did not have the manual.) Unfortunately, there was a timing chain issue with this engine as manufactured in this year. I was unaware of it prior to purchase (my lack of research) and now it is starting to go.

I have driven over 100,00 miles in this truck and the overall build has held up exceptionally well. The interior has had no major problems. The major things that have happened is the motors in the windows being finicky over such a long period of time, however they do work more in the summer than in the winter months. The dash and interior overall have held up very well and have always had the same high quality feeling to them. Overall, the reliability of this vehicle is astounding to have been this good for being driven for over 150,000 miles in total and it still looks brand new inside and out. The truck drives comfortably and has great shocks and suspension that have never been a problem at all. The fuel economy is relatively well with being able to take a 15-20 minute drive there and back everyday on the highway and holding up having around a 21 gallon tank.
