My parents had two Ford Explorer Sports (non Sport Trac, 2-dr version) and these things are solid. Build cheaply, full of rattles, but solid. Always have had a weird soft spot for any Ford Ranger-based vehicle.
Gotta get the daily fix of Bill’s wit and wisdom! Is anyone else like me and wanting to get an ‘Auto Europa Naples’ license plate for the front of their car? It could be sort of the symbol of the Bill fan club. But it would need a bird on it somewhere.
Beep beep beep For the love of god. BEEP BEEP BEEP WHEN FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!.Bill the automotive equivalent of Basil Fawlty! Absolutely love these car reviews!
Hey Bill, you are a great guy!! My favorite part listening to you talk! What a character!! I enjoy watching your reviews!! I had one the first year they came out. 🤘😎 🤔
Love Bill's commentary, up to & including his vehicle reviews! Had two of these Sportracs, they were versatile & reliable. IMO, the last iterations of it kinda fell short.Wish Ford would bring it back in a retro kind of way as they're doing with the Bronco. Bill keep it to pull that Grady White back & forth!!👍
Watching again Bill,my co-worker said what's Bill doing today.The both of us fell out laughing the second time the horn went off your sayings are hilarious!👍😂
Hi Bill another great video mate 👌 please don’t listen to the complainers 🤜 they just don’t get your dry sense of humour unfortunately 🤪 just keep doing what you’re doing and that’ll keep me happy 🙏 you’ll never get a complaint from me 😃 looking forward to seeing a review of that silver Bentley I spied behind the SS minnow at some stage 👌anyhow cheers mate 👍
Yes sir. I've had my Betsy Who is the exact color and make as yours for 1 year. She had 211,000 miles on her I had to buy a transmission, and 02 sensor, thermostat and general maintenance. Now she has 230, 000 AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER SHE'S NEVER MISSED 1 DAY TO START EVEN WITH A WEAK FUEL PUMP WHEN IT WAS 20°BELOW ZERO WIND-CHILL SHE STARTED. I USED SEA FOAM IN HER GAS TANK LIKE TWICE A MONTH AND I LOVE HER 4 WHEEL DRIVE, 6 WINDOWS ANDI LOVE IT. I'LL NEVER SELL HER. I'M THE 2ND OWNER.
I literally just bought an 03 ford explorer sport Trac 4x4 XLT and got a good deal on it too, it's in good condition considering just needs cleaned up a bit and a few things fixed up but I love the truck honestly
Ive gone off roading in my 2001 ford explorer sport 6.0 4x4. and my car did the laurel lakes trail in mammoth lakes california... shes still running today!
My work truck,slash hunting camp rig.Have a 2001 here in Nova Scotia, works decent. Great for our granddaughter, ie 4 doors. Happy Florida Friday, blessings amen.
God i look forward everytime i see a new video! Makes my day! I could listen for hours! Keep em comin Bill! I have to add the alarm had my laughing so hard i was in tears haha
Bill is a way better reviewer than Doug DeMuro by a moonshot. Glad that he starts the videos with his daily diatribes and then goes into the specifics in great detail with the vehicle along with in my opinion the most important part of the interior, where to store your guns and bags of coke.
@@lobsterwhisperer7932 Demuro doesn't seem to know enough about the predecessors to the cars he's reviewing. He isn't able to make sense of what he's showing the viewer because he is unaware of where the car stands in the evolution of its showcased technology.
I hated trucks until the day I was without a car my father in law sold me one of these for 2000. Best investment I ever made was a family car for us for years
OMG Bill your "holy roller" comment and "Bigger fish to fry" comment made me LOL so hard!! Another great video, thank you bill. Cool little truck!! I can't wait to see you review the cadillac and the Bentley!!
Bill would fill an excellent radio segment in the mornings! crows, firearms, nooks and nitwits be damned =D Luv it, stay proper! #whiskeytherapy will calm all alarms like on this finicky Sport Trac
Don’t laugh at the Ford keypad. You can lock the doors with the keys in it and still get in. Perfect for when you go fishing or just running in the Post Office. I use it all the time, once you’ve had one you’ll understand.
These kind of cars are rare where I live in Europe, I saw it in live and it looks huge compared to other cars, SUVs and even real off-roaders. But it was newer model.
My grandpa has one that I will soon be inheriting and I think its around a 2001 or 2002 and he barely drives it and maintains the hell out of it. I think is only has around 85k miles on it and its probably one of the smoother cars I've been in.
16:00 yeah definitely tinted, looks like the spray type. they masked off the reverse light. i'm normally not a fan of the look but on that truck with its dark theme, it kind of works.
My Betsy is rolling around 250,000 miles and she's still beautiful. Of course I did have to get a transmission with 130,000 but she's with it. If the body stays by I'll replace her motor and keep original
you are a rare breed, my friend. you say whats on your mind. sometimes it may get you into trouble with more sensitive people. im just like you. i wish people are more like us...tough skin. just as long as we dont cross the line of being down right...an asshole. i appreciate your insight on the truck. perhaps, our paths will cross one day. ciao. AIRBORNE !
My dad had a 2003 sport trac xIt and it was pretty nice! I thought the rear radio controls were cool but they never worked because he put a nice touch screen radio in it
A posh friend of mine shared one of these with his brother when we were all in high school! so friggin suburban. I thought it was cool... my father enjoyed poking fun at it..
Agreed, it would be weird if you started a video without bitching about the weather and theories of birds plotting against you all done well with a slight whiskey hangover.
I took the Ford ranger on a grand tour from Ireland all the way to little villages in Morocco all was fine until we got a flat we didn't have the manual in the truck and we Didn't have a clue what a day stock in the sand in middle of nowhere it took a while to find the lock nut for the wheel and then the spare was under the truck getting that out was a job than found the Jack what normally takes 10 minits it took well over an hour in the dusty heat .....so remember to learn how to change your tyres
Eventually on that tour as we had a couple of beers we decided to abandon it for the night next day it wasn't there where the hell did the truck go ?? By late evening we found the culprit police station and that was another day paying fines with some paperwork all was fine again

Hey Bill, I love all your videos! Are you going to do a video of the Rolls Royce I saw in the background?! Please do one, and if you have please let me know where the link is!
C'mon Biola, step it up. That ain't a mere Rolls. That's the Bentley Arnage. How you gonna ask him to post a link too? Subscribe, and you'll get notices with new stuff. And peep the old stuff! Where else can one find 96 different videos on CLKs?
As a 38 yo, I'm shocked nobody picked up on the Natalie Schafer reference! That shit made me holler!😂😂😂😂😂 Edit: bahahaha I'm listening to this on speaker while I work and the whole exchange with the alarm is equally hilarious and hysterical and representative of Ford Exploder Sportrac ownership.
60% of why I subscribed is because of your intro tangents. Don't change.
“There are a lot of retards and idiots on the road.” I’m hooked.
Right! That introductory monologue is both informative and hilarious!
Agreed!
51% for me.
LOL He missed the Option of Kids in the Thule Roof Storage Box
The best part about Bill's videos is that he keeps in all the things that other people would cut and turns them into the funniest parts of the video.
I like how you talk before the videos it’s interesting to hear what you have to say
I laughed pretty hard when the alarm started going off the 2nd time, but I completely lost it when you said "I have the title"
Ditto. Ah to be that funny.
I literally had a spit take when that happened. Absolutely the wrong time to take a sip!
Great moment. I did notice that when Bill mentioned the crusher, it never happened again. A proof that the truck knows when to stop misbehaving.
It goes off a second time?? OMG this video cannot be any more funnier 😅 (Edit:) OH LOL I JUST SAW IT. SO HILARIOUS
11:40 !¿ 😂 Bill properly turns alarm off by shouting 'Oh for the love of God! I got the keys... THE DAMN TITLE!' Classic Bill magic.
My parents had two Ford Explorer Sports (non Sport Trac, 2-dr version) and these things are solid. Build cheaply, full of rattles, but solid. Always have had a weird soft spot for any Ford Ranger-based vehicle.
2005 red with Adrenalin package sport trac here! Bought new....garage kept, dealer serviced and only 90k. Love the sport trac.
Gotta get the daily fix of Bill’s wit and wisdom! Is anyone else like me and wanting to get an ‘Auto Europa Naples’ license plate for the front of their car? It could be sort of the symbol of the Bill fan club. But it would need a bird on it somewhere.
Beep beep beep For the love of god. BEEP BEEP BEEP WHEN FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!.Bill the automotive equivalent of Basil Fawlty! Absolutely love these car reviews!
I found this video researching for an Exploder Sport Trac. I love the little commentary you have when going over the features.
Dude you are funny & candid as hell. Keep up the good work
Hey Bill, you are a great guy!! My favorite part listening to you talk! What a character!! I enjoy watching your reviews!! I had one the first year they came out. 🤘😎 🤔
I drive that same truck. Its a great vehicle. Terrific detailing job on it too.
A new video from Bill is my daily dose against coronavirus (along with the whiskey thing). This time I hit like even before he said good morning!
You should have a raffle to win a trip to party in the boat with all the narcotics and guns!
Holy shit. Followed by a smokers laugh. It's like i'm a kid fishing with my grandma all over again. Thanks for the flashback.
😂😂😂😂
Wow! I’m proud of you, Bill! I thought you were going to have a heart attack and drop dead when the alarm kept going off!!
I lost it when that alarm went off the second time 😂😂
Love Bill's commentary, up to & including his vehicle reviews! Had two of these Sportracs, they were versatile & reliable. IMO, the last iterations of it kinda fell short.Wish Ford would bring it back in a retro kind of way as they're doing with the Bronco.
Bill keep it to pull that Grady White back & forth!!👍
Worked at a Ford dealership when these came out. Always liked them, especially with the v8.
I hope you got a chance to drive a couple.
Sure did. Had one traded back in after a year, so it came back into the used car area. I drove it as my runabout for a few weeks.
Gotta have at least a V8 🥳
Most channels have intro music to start...this is by far the best way to intro everytime. Gotta love Bill 😄
Watching again Bill,my co-worker said what's Bill doing today.The both of us fell out laughing the second time the horn went off your sayings are hilarious!👍😂
Anyone complaining that Bill takes too long to get into the car aspect of his videos, probably cant organize a two car parade
Love your opening monologue Bill! About lost it when that alarm kept going off. Haha! Keep up the great work!
‘For the love of...” came for the truck, got a comedy show. 🤣
Bill your video reviews are a tonic
lol..Bill is having an alarming day lol
I have an ‘04 and I enjoy it immensely.
We love you Bill the English Professor
2nd! I've been staring at my phone awaiting the next release. Let the quarantine therapy begin!
Hi Bill another great video mate 👌 please don’t listen to the complainers 🤜 they just don’t get your dry sense of humour unfortunately 🤪 just keep doing what you’re doing and that’ll keep me happy 🙏 you’ll never get a complaint from me 😃 looking forward to seeing a review of that silver Bentley I spied behind the SS minnow at some stage 👌anyhow cheers mate 👍
Bill, Take all the time you want before starting with the actual car. I really appreciate the prelude!
This guy's an absolute riot.
I had this same Truck. Very underrated!
I like the slow starts to the videos, the best part
Yes sir. I've had my Betsy Who is the exact color and make as yours for 1 year. She had 211,000 miles on her I had to buy a transmission, and 02 sensor, thermostat and general maintenance.

I've watched a lot of your reviews, but this is a classic!
You are a trip! Great stuff! You are uniquely talented. Narrating, storytelling, talking, etc., you own it all. Props.
I literally just bought an 03 ford explorer sport Trac 4x4 XLT and got a good deal on it too, it's in good condition considering just needs cleaned up a bit and a few things fixed up but I love the truck honestly
The Winnebago man of 2020! I love these review videos that Bill does.
Poor Bill,,,He was oblivious to the fact that he was punching the Key Fob “panic Button”. LOL 😂

Nice video, Bill! I wish you also a great bird-free weekend, and enjoy your therapy! 👍😁LOL
Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹😎
Take care.
I hated trucks until the day I was without a car my father in law sold me one of these for 2000. Best investment I ever made was a family car for us for years
Bill rocks he sounds like a character in the hilarious film The Bird Cage 🤓
"Next week as this CoronaVirus thing starts to fade" one year later: Covid still in full affect 😂😂
When the horn went off the 2nd time 😂😂😭
I enjoy your videos from beginning to end 🤨
Bill from Auto Europa Naples: Used car salesman and Philosopher of Life!
I owned a 2005 xlt premium silver in color. Excellent vehicle.
OMG Bill your "holy roller" comment and "Bigger fish to fry" comment made me LOL so hard!! Another great video, thank you bill. Cool little truck!! I can't wait to see you review the cadillac and the Bentley!!
Luv This Guy...lol....kinda sounded a Bit like Jack Nicholson at Times
Love my key pad , the most useful vehicle I've ever owned period.
Bill would fill an excellent radio segment in the mornings! crows, firearms, nooks and nitwits be damned =D Luv it, stay proper! #whiskeytherapy will calm all alarms like on this finicky Sport Trac
Yes, indeed. Bill is educated, has tremendous communication skills, honest, and hilarious!!
I came for the car review, and stayed for the commentary.
Don't listen to the critics. The videos are great!
I’m getting a 2005 Ford Explorer sports Trac today, going to be my second car, my other car is a Toyota 2006 Scion xB
Your commentary just got you a subscriber!! A play pin for the kids😂😅😂😅
"I've got the keys, I've got the title!' "😂🤣😂🤣- Alarm Issues
Great video as always bill. I used to drive a sport trac for work. I loved it
I personally think that boat is quite beautiful.
With Norm MacDonald gone, we need cynical bastard more than ever and Bill you're my guy.
Don’t laugh at the Ford keypad. You can lock the doors with the keys in it and still get in. Perfect for when you go fishing or just running in the Post Office. I use it all the time, once you’ve had one you’ll understand.
I did that same thing when I had my '05 Lincoln Town Car.
I think I'm going to start taking a shot of whiskey every time Bill says "Oh for the love of God" in his videos. :)
These kind of cars are rare where I live in Europe, I saw it in live and it looks huge compared to other cars, SUVs and even real off-roaders. But it was newer model.
holy shit brother. i came here for truck talk.
Great video. I thought it was pretty funny when you talked about keeping the kids in the back😂
Just awesome video!! Thanks for doing this! Too funny!!!
🐦 No ReST For thE WICKed BILl 🐦
Love this dude. You remind me of my Boss 🤣 Good shit, honest stuff
I had the same truck. But I got leather seats and a touchscreen radio. And you got different headlights. I want to put an S10 in it
My grandpa has one that I will soon be inheriting and I think its around a 2001 or 2002 and he barely drives it and maintains the hell out of it. I think is only has around 85k miles on it and its probably one of the smoother cars I've been in.
I would maintain the engine oil diligently .. apparently it effects the timing chain health ... I am looking at a 2 grand timing job ...
16:00 yeah definitely tinted, looks like the spray type. they masked off the reverse light. i'm normally not a fan of the look but on that truck with its dark theme, it kind of works.
You're hilarious! Great way with words. Guns and kids. That how I roll.
My Betsy is rolling around 250,000 miles and she's still beautiful. Of course I did have to get a transmission with 130,000 but she's with it. If the body stays by I'll replace her motor and keep original

Even if you owned the Queen Mary II you are allowed to brag! And the "slow" intros are very informative. Keep going
Off on a tangent but that’s why we love you.
Perfect budget truck.
The compact truck is coming back. A new 2022 Ford Maverick.
My dad had a 2003 sport trac xIt and it was pretty nice! I thought the rear radio controls were cool but they never worked because he put a nice touch screen radio in it
Don't sell yourself short William. You are a purveyor of Pre-owned cars and automobile historian.
A posh friend of mine shared one of these with his brother when we were all in high school! so friggin suburban. I thought it was cool... my father enjoyed poking fun at it..
7:33 tries to turn off phone call but instead takes a screenshot.
Even when you’re not trying to be funny you’re still hilarious.
Not a bad place to store your kids 😂😂😂 im dying from having a dark sense of humor
Your description of the weather, drivers and decaying vehicles led me to believe youre, indeed, in Florida
Well I might get one for my first car and I want to know if it’ll be a good little for car
Agreed, it would be weird if you started a video without bitching about the weather and theories of birds plotting against you all done well with a slight whiskey hangover.
Omg! Grady-Whites are GREAT boats! That’s not a boat to be embarrassed of. You should see the things that miraculously float on Lake Erie 😂😂😂

The main thing I have learned from this video, good or bad... Bill loves kids.
He loves them so much, he always makes sure we know if the car has an infant-retention net. Never buy one without it.
