Sport trac?

Has ford discontinued this vehicle? If so..that is bad...what is going to compete with the Colorado? If ford wanted to make a killing...put the new 5.4 in a sport trac...that would convert me from GM...Dodge is doing it why cant ford or chevy?

Nope, the Sport Trac is still being made and no plan I've heard of to stop production.

I think Ford should get rid of the sport track and bring the 4 door from Mexico to the US

The Sport Trac isn't going anywhere. It sells itself better than most Ford vehicles, they are beating their sales requirements for the truck by a lot, without spending a dime on advertising. I have the article from Ford talking about it. I am the owner of a 2003 Sport Trac and had a 2002 before this one. They are amazing vehicles. The power rear window is great for warm days, just put it down and drive, no A/C needed up to about 90 degrees.

Would be better if they would make them like the new Explorers. The Rangers should be made a little bigger like the Explorer also. With the same interior. The same interior since 1995 is getting old.

I agree, the Ranger needs to be bigger, like the Explorer. I had a 1996 Ranger and sold it this year for an F150. I would have bought another Ranger, but they are basically the same as the 1996, except the 96 had better bucket seats than the new one. Chevy has the same problem with the S10, but they are at least attempting to address it with the Colorado, but I don't know about that little 5 cylinder engine. They should have put the in-line 6 from the Trailblazer in it.
