[QUOTE="Jackson Ellis, post: 1003117, member: 70795"] The numbers do tell the story. Whether it's from competition from the Escape (Ford was also selling the Edge and the Flex during some of those years) or other car-makers, it doesn't matter; we're talking about the sales of the Explorer and they were dropping like a rock. Sales of the Explorer cut in half three times, and buyers were going away from truck-based SUVs. It seems like every soccer mom in my neighborhood drives a cross-over now. The Sport Trac was a niche vehicle, being based off an SUV (which started out being based off the Ranger). It doesn't look like a four-door pick-up (at least not to me), and thank God, it didn't look like the Honda Ridgeline. I've said before, that the Nissan Frontier four-door was the only other truck I was considering when I got the Sport Trac, and one Frontier test drive sealed the deal. Those are my opinions, coming from a car guy. I traded in a BMW 335i when I got my Sport Trac. If the Sport Trac weren't around, I probably would've gotten a truck-based SUV, and it most likely would've been a Grand Cherokee, four-door Wrangler, or Nissan Pathfinder. [/QUOTE]
