Just purchased my first Sport Trac this week, not even knowing this truck existed! Not knowing much about it, I took a chance on it. I must say, I’m very satisfied with my decision so far. I have been hearing nothing but good things about them. Also all the compliments don’t hurt either.😊
He complained about how hard it was to reach the trunk on the Ridgeline, but neglected to show the dual tailgate. It also swings open like a door for easy access. I own a 2006 Ridgeline and am currently looking at Sport Tracs to replace my recently totalled Mazda b-series (Ranger).
@@beepbeepbeepgo2122 Same. I mean, I bought a Sport Trac. But I do wish it had that trunk like the Ridgeline. I've never put anything in the front trunk of the Ford yet. I have a pair of vice grips in one of the crappy little rear cubbies, lol.
I've had an 08 Sport Trac for almost 2 yrs and I like it. It's not a 4wd but i drove uphill today on ice/snow and the traction control button is great. This is a smooth riding truck.
I got a 2008 Sport Trac Limited and is an outstanding vehicle everything I ever dreamed is inside on this vehicle, and I made may research for more than 6 month, noting to compare. 110% Satisfied!
I got 2005 XLT sport trac 350,000miles rear Wheel drive One owner love doing Donut rain day still going Love it Thanks Ford waiting for new one at 2025 lets go New sport trac
I have gotten my 2007 Sport Trac Limited V8 and its been a blast since then! I have looked and tested and drove many others but this hands down is exactly what I was looking for! Not too big, not too small, lots of power and got up to 26mpg on the highway and atleast well over 21mpg while speeding and passing hard! Everyone that I have showed it to in person fell in love with it and especially after I let them take it for a spin wanted one for themselves! I love it! More than I expected!
I'm not a Brand Loyalist except for Jeep Wranglers however, I quite enjoyed this video and his directness. I've been contemplating purchasing a Sport Trac lately and have read nothing but Great Reviews on them however, if there were still any doubt in my mind... this sealed the deal!
I am a Ford man myself. The in bed trunk on the Ridgeline is great. My buddy has one and he loves it. Now first of all you don't buy a sport utility truck if u are going to be filling it with gravel and parking it in your driveway for a month. Can't get to the in bed trunk with all that gravel? You bought the wrong truck. These are for people like me that want a SUV but need a truck bed once and a while. That is me. The Ridgeline is fine but I will stick with the Ford. The Ford interiors are nicer and so is the stereo. All things equal I go with the one with the better stereo!
And the Ford Explorer Sport Trac has a small bed I even think the original Ford Ranger from 2011 the smaller truck has a bigger bed. I see the main reason people get the Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Cuz it has a big cabin space so can hold like five adults easily cuz it's pretty much a SUV with a truck bed. And you are right the Honda Ridgeline little trunk thing is kind of unique
I have a 01 sport trac lt and we use it as its full extension it has a ford f150 long bed and extended frame we use it for a bunch of things and like you said to more gravel and dirt
this is the most biased video i have ever seen lmao... i like the sport trac but im pretty sure the dakota beats it in power, toyota and frontier in reliability, and ridgeline in being more mild mannered. that 4.0L V6 gets the same mpg as some V8s.. the v8 is out powered by the dakotas 4.7v8 and in reliability it is on par or slightly beaten by nissan and toyota. honda too but its the least preferred model.
I have a 2008 Honda Ridgeline I love mine. 158,000 on it had to replace radiator. That's it the cat is plugged now. Hands down I love it I live in the country on s dirt road n hunt so this thing never got stuck yet.
I own a Ford Sport Trac and even I couldn't sit through this drivel without cringing. "Ever heard of a truck with front wheel drive?" Yeah, and how about "Ever heard of a truck without a live axle?"
I'm in the process of getting a 2007 Sport trac Limited V8 and I love it! Can't wait until I get it! Lots of power, fully loaded, very nice interior, nothing I can ask for more otherthan the supercharged V8 version!
Please tell me how many miles did it have about what you got it for? I’m prolly gonna buy one It’s a 2007 4.6 V-8 190,000 miles on it 5500+ tax it’s been very well taken care of
@@robbieclements6672 damn I bought it long ago LoL it was about 6 months old, less than 40km and got it for $22,000 CAD at the time, I now still have it and about 300,000km on it still rock solid!
Looking to buy one of these real soon, I was unaware that Ford even made a pick up explorer, after reading up the specs I was shocked how much better it was than other smaller trucks, IRS for comfort, 6spd automatic, over 6,000lbs of towing capacity and the fact that it actually has a V8 with 300hp 😱 this thing is literally the soul of a f150 in a Ford Explorer package.
re. Ridgeline, looks like if you only put things in that lower cargo area to the top of it's rim, the spare tire will slide out. no one said you have to stuff it. I prefer the spare be underneath too, but don't over trash that set up. and the Sport trac steering wheel I think only has up/down movement and no telescoping, oddly, which sucks.. But I'm considering one of these as for my diy projects
Now I own a 04 sport trac xlt. I've had it for like 8 months and it had 175000 miles when I got it. The truck is really practical and good for what he's advertising. But one thing I know about my ST is that there's always something wrong with it. I did buy it pretty worn but still expect a "truck" to take a decent licking before it gives, right? My truck has had oil leaks, transmission leaks, brakes needed r be changed, and bushings to be replaced. This could be from the previous owner neglecting it but just saying. If the Ridgeline didn't have those stupid flares that kept you from getting in the bed, I think I could get over the FWD part(though I'd prefer it be RWD and 4.0).
I love the sport tracs I've had two but I believe this is a Ford ad. Maybe the dude was paid off but it really is a nice truck. The Ridgeline is just hideous. The Tacoma is really nice though.
Agreed, a real review against the other trucks would've been better but as a recent Sport Trac v8 owner I can attest that it is a very nice truck, probably better than the Tacoma, maybe except in reliability lol
Why would you want an independent rear suspension? Solid axels and leaf springs are way stronger and can hold a hell of a lot more weight. Not to mention they are more durable!
I'm a salesman and i can smell a bias 2.5 miles away. And over the internet i can smell an extreme bias rather than expressing honest advantages and disadvantages depending on the vast array of circumstances a buyer will find themselves in. BTW theres a reason he doesnt have the balls to put this up against a Frontier. Thats because it has the same frame as the Titan, and he doesnt want to eat his foot. I have ridden all these trucks, and can say that the Ford is better being acar than a truck.
reminds me of a used car salesman lol As far as I know Toyota Tacoma and Honda Ridgeline are a top notch competition compared to d ford sport trac. I barely see anyone driving ford sport trac anymore. most of them are probably in the junk shop.
This guy was bought & sold by Ford. Any Sport Trec owners out there still driving them? How about Honda RIdgeline? I bet there's 10 Ridgelines still on the road for every Sport Trec that still safe to drive.
LOL "where's the disc brakes and the independent rear suspension" Since the ridgeline came out its always had IRS, and it comes standard with disc brakes... No ridgeline comes with drum brakes. And why didnt he show the swinging tailgate? Probably because nobody offers anything close to that in the market. Smh
If this was supposed to be a "competitive comparison" then where was the comparison? First of all, the only thing I hear while watching this is BIAS BIAS BIAS from FORD! Ok, we'll start with what I believe is the most important point. This is a sport utility "truck" as he states multiple times, then goes on to say that the Sport Trac has its fancy ass independent rear suspension. Did you not fucking hear yourself? Its a sport utility TRUCK! Its supposed to be a truck, ride like a truck, look like a truck and tow like a truck. "Real world use" (as said in the video) would be really helpful if the truck had a limited slip differential (Tacoma TRD), a solid axle (again TRD) and a Towing mode (TRD once again). Ok, that's fancy, it has "18" wheels" and "4 wheel disc brakes" but who cares. And I cannot get past the fact that he says the Sport Trac "defined the market." Really? Defined the market. Because last time I checked Toyota has been making 4x4 light duty sport trucks, for lets see.....EVER. How about you pull your head out of your ass and see the bigger picture. Look at what the other trucks have to offer. He hardly touched on either the Dakota or the Tacoma, and ripped the Ridgeline a new ass for no reason. Its a comparison, so do me a favor and compare the vehicles and stop being such a biased, ignorant Ford lover.
Ridgeline HORRIBLE cargo access & STUPID trunk spare tire location. Went camping with some buds split up between my 2000 Frontier and my cousins NEW Ridgeline. Both beds fully loaded. Gave us a headstart, cause he would catch up & "smoke us". He blew a tire. Had to unload EVERYTHING roadside, unfamiliar place, almost no daylight.THEN change the tire.THEN load EVERYTHING back. They arrived 3 hours late, dirty, tired, and in horrible mood. Meanwhile, we were BBQing and having beers by the lake.
At least it has a lockable in-bed-trunk with a dual action tailgate. I prefer that instead of use that space for the spare tire that I could use one time every 3 years. I don't have to buy that ugly tool box that steal 1/3 of the bed room. And for me that is the best location to keep the spare tire clean and safe. I just put it on the bed in case that I will fill the bed with heavy stuff.
Guess what it's 2021 if the Ford Explorer Sport Trac was so unique and selling like hotcakes how come they don't have a 2021 version you can still get a Honda Ridgeline and out of all these trucks that you're showing. Toyota Tacoma is the most selling vehicle out of them all obviously at the time people didn't want the Sport Trac
You can still buy a Ford Explorer Sport Trac with their used. Honda is always going to be around their cars last forever they might be new to the truck Market. But if people want a small vehicle and a small truck why don't they still sell the Ford Ranger small body there still people who want that over an SUV with a truck bed but you are right. Honda one in the end
THE TRANNY KINDA DOES SUCK. IF YOU DNT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A CORNER IT DOESNT DOWN SHIFT QUICK ENOUGH AND WHEN U TAKE OFF I CLUNKS DOWN INTO THE GEAR IT SHOULD OF BEEN INN. IT PISSES ME OFF LIKE IF YOU DO ROLLING STOPS IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME.
Just in case you get fooled into thinking this is a real comparison, IT’S A FORD AD! The very carefully leave out how the Ridgeline is equal or superior while “comparing” the Toyota and Ram. It’s not just an ad, it’s dishonest AND INACCURATE. just ONE example: the ridgeline has 4 wheel disc. OH AND it’s ALL WHEEL DRIVE. This advertisement Is garbage
Who cares about 18 inch wheels, id put on 16's with some knobby tires and shit....the tacoma is a beast of road...thats what a truck is for take the tacoma and sport trac off road and see who does better...then see if you can talk shit about the tacoma
Sport Trac discontinued, Dakota discontinued, Ridgeline about to be discontinued. Goes to show you how great the Sport Trac was against vehicles that are/going to be discontinued.
im on my 3rd. first one 2002 friend has. still going with over 400,000 on it. have never had to open the hood to repair. bought my son a 2001 and i bought a new 2009. love them i can carry 12 lumber without hanging over the back. using the full power back window down. a regular 8 ft box half ton cant even do that. can fit 8 ft inside cab. i love them.
Honda suck??!! So, why Honda Ridgeline 3.5 V6 is 250 HP stock!! no turbo!!, just natural aspirated engine, and a Ford Sport Truck 4.0 V6 is only 210 HP. May be that's the reason why Ford have to put V8s even on SUVs and medium trucks and Honda use V6 even when they already made V8s.
Sport trac can pull a boat no problem evan a car or two but the breaks aren't that good when u have a shit ton of wieght on the back I would get newer breaks off of a super duty or sompthing then u would have a train pulling truck that can stop super duty can somehow pull a train the sport trac might be able to if it was alot heavier but yhea if u want to tow extremely heavy stuff with it like very heavy stuff get better breaks so u dont end up with a broken drive shaft let's be honest here what breaks alot in car crashes driveshaft
Has this guy driven a Toyota Tacoma? My experiences driving the Sport Trac and then Tacoma put the Tacoma in a far superior position than the Ford. The Tacoma has better manuverability, stiffness, and versatility than the Ford. The Sport Trac isn't a bad vehicle. It's main flaws are its weight, size, and quality of the interior. The Tacoma is just a better driving experience.
the honda ridgeline is miles better for the same model year, talking about not even competing. the ridgeline beat the shit out of this thing in every way imagineable lmao. It not only has more power, but it doesn't look like an ugly piece of shit too. also the sport trac is a FORD. and we all know how "reliable" ford trucks are. it has a larger bed, a more spacious interior, more convinient features, i.e a bed trunk and many others. this is the most biased youtube review i've ever seen.
im sorry ill take the trd toyota any day over any truck.....at 300,000 my 88 toyota gets the he** beat out of it and it never fails to get me where i go
The avalanche, though true was chevy's response to the sport trac, is not in the same class. Avalanche is full size while sport trac was midsize which is why I presume it wasn't mentioned.
This guy is good!! i never actually thought about the whole thing with the spare tire in the ridgeline being in that whole there! i always thought that storage would be handy to have ! haha!
my moms 2002 sport trac has 191,000 miles on it... its never been in the shop. only for an oil change lol dont dis the sport trac until you try it... the thing is still running good... but the one chevy we have that is a 2002 has been in the shop more than both my fords combined so sssshhhh
Yah, you can say but if you put the trac vs a dakota. In power, towing, and over all strength the dakota comes on top in the small truck market. But i must say your close
first gen st beats second gen. second gen killed the st line.... no one wants a fully independent suspension truck... or 18 inch rims on a 4x4 with fender wells that only fit 33's... unless you live in CA or Florida that is...
The Sport Trac is hardly a truck but sadly its more truck than any of the 'competitors' in this video. The Dodge is a clunk of shit and will be the first to go, the Toyota will be recalled a billion times if it doesn't rust in half first, and the Ridgeline is a Honda Pilot with the back hacked off.
Just purchased my first Sport Trac this week, not even knowing this truck existed! Not knowing much about it, I took a chance on it. I must say, I’m very satisfied with my decision so far. I have been hearing nothing but good things about them. Also all the compliments don’t hurt either.😊
Which year is it? I hope 2008-2010.

Comparing a Ford to a Honda every time the Honda is going to be more reliable
I wonder how much Ford paid him for this one-sided "review"?
Too bad they didn't really take off I liked them now with the introduction of more unibody trucks they kind of look ahead of their time

ok, love the truck, hate the guy
In debating between a frontier and a sport trac. I like the frontier more but sport trac doesnt look too bad
its not a bias review, its a Ford sales video for Ford dealers to help them sell people on the truck. Of course its pro ford
@tootlepuff yeah but the stort trac comes with four disc brakes no matter what package you have
top of the line ford vs the cheapest tacoma ridgeline and dakota that the manufactures offer...nice
what about the hummer h3 sut?or h2 sut?
In what way are 18" wheels supposed to entice me to buy one vehicle over the other?
There is many other reasons why
A Honda Ridgeline is just a Honda Pilot with the back cut off, its more of a tampon go-getter than a truck.
LOL "where's the disc brakes and the independent rear suspension" Since the ridgeline came out its always had IRS, and it comes standard with disc brakes... No ridgeline comes with drum brakes. And why didnt he show the swinging tailgate? Probably because nobody offers anything close to that in the market. Smh
binit shah I can't say the swinging tailgate is anything special. Although the storage area beneath the bed is nice.
binit shah He didn’t say the Ridgeline didn’t have tear disc breaks. He only said the Toyota and Dakota didn’t.
Ford is comeing back out with the sport trax But its comening back under the Ford Ranger name. You can look it up.
If this was supposed to be a "competitive comparison" then where was the comparison? First of all, the only thing I hear while watching this is BIAS BIAS BIAS from FORD! Ok, we'll start with what I believe is the most important point. This is a sport utility "truck" as he states multiple times, then goes on to say that the Sport Trac has its fancy ass independent rear suspension. Did you not fucking hear yourself? Its a sport utility TRUCK! Its supposed to be a truck, ride like a truck, look like a truck and tow like a truck. "Real world use" (as said in the video) would be really helpful if the truck had a limited slip differential (Tacoma TRD), a solid axle (again TRD) and a Towing mode (TRD once again). Ok, that's fancy, it has "18" wheels" and "4 wheel disc brakes" but who cares. And I cannot get past the fact that he says the Sport Trac "defined the market." Really? Defined the market. Because last time I checked Toyota has been making 4x4 light duty sport trucks, for lets see.....EVER. How about you pull your head out of your ass and see the bigger picture. Look at what the other trucks have to offer. He hardly touched on either the Dakota or the Tacoma, and ripped the Ridgeline a new ass for no reason. Its a comparison, so do me a favor and compare the vehicles and stop being such a biased, ignorant Ford lover.
This is a video to help ford salesmen sell vehicles
whow is that the frame for the ridgeline?
YEAH. This video isn't biased at all.
@tootlepuff He meant "Standard" not optional options
Ridgeline HORRIBLE cargo access & STUPID trunk spare tire location.
Went camping with some buds split up between my 2000 Frontier and my cousins NEW Ridgeline. Both beds fully loaded. Gave us a headstart, cause he would catch up & "smoke us". He blew a tire. Had to unload EVERYTHING roadside, unfamiliar place, almost no daylight.THEN change the tire.THEN load EVERYTHING back.

It’s not just an ad, it’s dishonest AND INACCURATE. just ONE example: the ridgeline has 4 wheel disc. OH AND it’s ALL WHEEL DRIVE. This advertisement
Is garbage
No stick= no buy. Ford didn't come to play! Also where is the Xterra's sister, the Frontier?
Who cares about 18 inch wheels, id put on 16's with some knobby tires and shit....the tacoma is a beast of road...thats what a truck is for take the tacoma and sport trac off road and see who does better...then see if you can talk shit about the tacoma
Sport Trac discontinued, Dakota discontinued, Ridgeline about to be discontinued. Goes to show you how great the Sport Trac was against vehicles that are/going to be discontinued.
Oh yea, the Tacoma is still in production. The ones who started the sport utility truck business.
I'm disappointed that the Sport Trac was discontinued.
im on my 3rd. first one 2002 friend has. still going with over 400,000 on it. have never had to open the hood to repair. bought my son a 2001 and i bought a new 2009. love them i can carry 12 lumber without hanging over the back. using the full power back window down. a regular 8 ft box half ton cant even do that. can fit 8 ft inside cab. i love them.
Ridgeline got redesigned in 2017 it’s based heavily on the pilot
The engine and transmission were tweaked by Honda Racing, that's not stock.
biased
Honda suck??!! So, why Honda Ridgeline 3.5 V6 is 250 HP stock!! no turbo!!, just natural aspirated engine, and a Ford Sport Truck 4.0 V6 is only 210 HP. May be that's the reason why Ford have to put V8s even on SUVs and medium trucks and Honda use V6 even when they already made V8s.
Sport trac can pull a boat no problem evan a car or two but the breaks aren't that good when u have a shit ton of wieght on the back I would get newer breaks off of a super duty or sompthing then u would have a train pulling truck that can stop super duty can somehow pull a train the sport trac might be able to if it was alot heavier but yhea if u want to tow extremely heavy stuff with it like very heavy stuff get better breaks so u dont end up with a broken drive shaft let's be honest here what breaks alot in car crashes driveshaft
Has this guy driven a Toyota Tacoma? My experiences driving the Sport Trac and then Tacoma put the Tacoma in a far superior position than the Ford. The Tacoma has better manuverability, stiffness, and versatility than the Ford. The Sport Trac isn't a bad vehicle. It's main flaws are its weight, size, and quality of the interior. The Tacoma is just a better driving experience.
Ford sport Trac The besy
I'm ford baby..
IN THE FOUR TRAX. V8 IT HAS IT'S PROBLEMS TRUST ME.
4:08 hehehe
Where is the colorado or canyon
the honda ridgeline is miles better for the same model year, talking about not even competing. the ridgeline beat the shit out of this thing in every way imagineable lmao. It not only has more power, but it doesn't look like an ugly piece of shit too. also the sport trac is a FORD. and we all know how "reliable" ford trucks are. it has a larger bed, a more spacious interior, more convinient features, i.e a bed trunk and many others. this is the most biased youtube review i've ever seen.
im sorry ill take the trd toyota any day over any truck.....at 300,000 my 88 toyota gets the he** beat out of it and it never fails to get me where i go
@ILOVEMYNITRORUSTLER Im not a fan of Honda, Im just talking in terms or "modern-ness" If thats a word.
Not enough motor? that 3.5 has more hp than your 4.0
Can anyone sound more biased? Not someone I want to do a comparison if I am looking for a vehicle.
This guy is a joke lol call me and I’ll do car reviews for y’all from now on
where's the chevy avalanche?
its to shit too add in the comparison.
The avalanche, though true was chevy's response to the sport trac, is not in the same class. Avalanche is full size while sport trac was midsize which is why I presume it wasn't mentioned.
Zachary Chavez thanks for the info.
No problem bro..
@@pudymelon3560 avalanche is better than sport trac
WTF was honda thinking about when they made this truck? FWD! LMAO! thats should be a sin to the truck gods!lol
This guy is good!! i never actually thought about the whole thing with the spare tire in the ridgeline being in that whole there! i always thought that storage would be handy to have ! haha!
my moms 2002 sport trac has 191,000 miles on it... its never been in the shop. only for an oil change lol dont dis the sport trac until you try it... the thing is still running good... but the one chevy we have that is a 2002 has been in the shop more than both my fords combined so sssshhhh
Yah, you can say but if you put the trac vs a dakota. In power, towing, and over all strength the dakota comes on top in the small truck market. But i must say your close
first gen st beats second gen. second gen killed the st line.... no one wants a fully independent suspension truck... or 18 inch rims on a 4x4 with fender wells that only fit 33's... unless you live in CA or Florida that is...
Ford will always be better..
would have loved a comparison of facts but not this bull shit
I love my sport trac….but this is Ford propaganda 😂
@bamac2008 whoa there chief, look at the facts, honda sucks
sport trac is so shitty the ridgeline is way safer
dodge and chevy suck. GO FORD!!!!!!!!
Thanks God Ford discontinued that piece of s..This guy have never own or even drive a Honda Ridgeline.
Who gets a truck from Honda?
The Sport Trac is hardly a truck but sadly its more truck than any of the 'competitors' in this video. The Dodge is a clunk of shit and will be the first to go, the Toyota will be recalled a billion times if it doesn't rust in half first, and the Ridgeline is a Honda Pilot with the back hacked off.
First off the ridgeline is 4WD. If you press 4 lock it sets it into 4WD now get a life you ford fanboy/seller.
I had a ridgeline and it was a great little truck surprised it wasn't killed long ago with the stuff it pulled, but the 4wd sucked.
Someone loves Honda
ya lol he must not have listened very well
Honda Ridgeline is gay truck!!
Lol
