I am in the process of buying a v8 sport trac, 4x4 with towing. I am very excited. THis will double as a daily driver and occassional truck for towing. We are going to pick up a smaller RV < 4500 pounds empty. The Sport Trac really fits the bill. The 4 doors means there is room in the back for the dogs. The size means it will fit in my garage. The small bed will be a great place for a small generator. The v8/4x4 means good power and less worries in bad weather/snow and I can even take it out on some trails.
If this deal falls through I will find another one, there just doesn't seem to be anything else that fits the bill as well as a sport trac.
The funny part is I almost missed it as a possibility. Ford didn't advertise this truck very well and, until I got interested in one, I never really noticed them. I happened to be reviewing Fords brochure on towing and saw the sport trac (the second time through). Ford really missed the marking boat on this one. One good campaign showing the truck, it's options and a tag line of 'And it will fit in your garage' probably would have doubled sales...
I am looking forward to being useful member of this board.
