The 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac combines the interior room and comfort of a mid-size SUV with the open-air, haul-anything capability of a mid-size pickup truck.
Sport Trac is an SUV with a pickup bed. It allows for the seating capacity of a mid-sized SUV but the potential hauling capacity of a pickup truck. It is offered in XLS and XLT trim, and in rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations. All are powered by a 4.0-liter V6 engine and five-speed automatic transmission. Options include a six-way power driver's seat with power lumbar support, an upgraded floor console, an overhead console with displays for compass and outside temperature, automatic headlamps, and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.
For 2005, there are no significant changes.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac for less money than when it was new. If the 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
