Dad likes my new toy, and wants to pull our boat with it.... our big one... and I was like... you get about 2 months until that trailer wont reach the hitch... I don't wanna put those miles on my truck, so he was thinking about buying a new truck and giving the montero to my other sister. He likes thoe explorer sport tracs, and I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on them... I've been doing research so I know what they can and can't do... just looking for opinions I guess...

 

The Sport Trac's look great! I was confused as in why they reffer to them as 'suvs' though. My Uncle bought one a month ago and loves it.

if u want a "real" truck to pull a boat, don't use a crappy explorer. yeah, they look great and are, but buy a HD Ram with a Cummins.

 

I wouldn't even say they look good either...

 

what is the exploder rated at for towing?

 

2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
Maximum Towing: 5,300 lbs
Maximum Payload: 1,500 lbs

2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
Maximum Towing: 5,080 lbs
Maximum Payload: 1,480 lbs

 

I guess they decided they weren't towing anything with them anyways, and it was a ford, so why not make it suck?
