04 Sport Trac
I bought a 2004 Sport Trac yesterday. Are there any secrets, hints or tips that I should know about. After test driving it and checking it over it seems like it will be a good replacement as a daily driver in place of the Bonneville I had! Any particular maintenance problems with the 04? Any and all comments are welcome!!

I have had one for about 2 years with no major problems. The tires require rotation and rebalance every 5000 miles to prevent noise from the cupping that occurs if you go longer. Mine is somewhat uncomfortable on long trips as the power seat is not very adjustable in its range of movement.
I get 20 mpg consistently on highway trips. Synthetic oil helps for a smooth start and quiet running motor. Check with Ford for some minor recalls. I added a aftermarket cover from Undercover-works great. I also had a 02 with similar results that was traded for the 04 for my wife to drive-and she is very satisfied with the 04.
