Miles Overview
The Explorer Sport Trac is Ford's mid-size pickup with an SUV-style cabin, blending truck capability with passenger comfort. It rides like a truck, with a firm, trucky feel that's predictable and stable on the highway. The short bed is handy for hauling gear, and the cabin offers room for five with decent cargo space behind the rear seat. Explorers of this era have a reputation for transmission issues, so a thorough check of the service history is wise. The XLS is the value pick in the Sport Trac lineup, skipping the XLT's chrome trim and power seat to keep the price down. Its 4.0L V6 makes 210 horsepower and pairs with a five-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, which is helpful in snow but hurts fuel economy at 15 mpg combined.
