Exlplorer Sport Trac owner here! New member as well!
Hey guys!
I am new to the site(as a member) and just wanted to stick my head in and say hi! I drive a beautiful 2001 Oxford White Explorer Sport Trac. I love it to death! I am currently an active member of www.mysporttrac.com, and maybe someday own the new redesigned F-150. If you guys want to chat or just talk trucks(my brother owns a 99 f-50 4x4), we can and if you want to learn more about the Sport Trac and other helpful vehicle 'stuff', head on over to mysporttrac.com, anyway, I am am happy to be a member!

J-150,
The Sport Trac can come in 2 different gear ratios, not sure what the other is but mine has the 4.10 gears and it's pretty darn zippy! I love the feel and ride it gives me. I have hauled my John Deere Mower and other small house hold stuff and it handled well. Gas millage is 'ok' and it's really fun to drive. I am not sure, but I don't think the Super Crew is lighter than the Trac(Trac is 4,000 lbs); but I am not sure.
The Super Crew is nice, but it cost more and seems to me not as good looking. I think you would be happy with both, SC or ST. It's what ever you think; your pick. Anyway, the ST is the 4.0 SOHC which is what they had in the older Explorer models and in the 2002 redesigned Exlorer and Ranger; like I said, it will get up and go. I accelerate at about 2200-2500 RPMs and it stays in traffic. Just take a test drive in one with the 4.10's in it.
Take care ya'll!

if they even crammed the 4.6 V8 into the Sport Trac I would buy it in a heartbeat.
They obviously can becasue they crammed it into the regular Exploder.
But seriously, the one we test drove was great. We really loved it. With a new baby we really need a back seat and as it stands now, we are sitting on the fence between a Supercab (not the crew) and the Sport Trac.
Tough call.

that's what I did . I've got the 02 SCrew FX4 and love it, just got the wife a 03 Explorer XLT Sport, has the 4.6, (IMHO the 4.6 runs much smoother and has better reponse than the 4.0) she had a GrandAm GT Sedan and liked it, but she loves this truck, especially since the last snow we got here
