Here's why the Ford Explorer Sport Trac made it 100,000 miles with only small issues

Doors shut perfectly on my 1988 Ranger, 2007 Ranger and 2012 Escape

I have a 2007 Limited with 60k miles on it that I inherited from my granny ❤.

I have an '07 V8 with 233k miles on it and it's awesome! I only had to replace the alternator. Other than that it's just been regular maintenance items.

The doors just need to have their fit adjusted. Over time the fit adjustments can get off or Kids could possibly hang on the doors and possibly throw the fit off as well. They could be hanging a little low and rubbing on the strikers which will make them harder to close. A little adjustment can fix those to close easily like new again by simply using maybe a 2x4 or metal bar to attempt to pry the whole door upwards a little from the lock and striker or possibly the ground to adjust the door where it naturally hangs on the hinges to be a little higher. This will help adjust where the metal in the lock grabs the striker to help make it no longer rub on the strikers when the door opens and closes. looking at the door in the video it also looks like the front door is adjusted inward a little too far especially at the top. If you look at where the end of the front door and beginning of the back door meet. The front door is inward a little too much. They are actually supposed to be flush. You could use a slide hammer pull bar to directly pull out the striker a little so that the top and bottom of the door isn't too tight where the door comes in contact with the rubber weather stripping. At the top you could also put a rubber mallet at the top between the door and the roof where they meet and close the door on the rubber mallet to make it bend the top of the door outwards a little. This will adjust where it makes contact with the rubber weather striping and make the door not so tight where it makes contact. If it is too tight that will make it hard to close as well. These things can definitely be fixed and adjusted with a little effort.

[@dailydrivernation]

Agreed, yes you can make adjustments to the doors that will help. What my experience has been is that I have found New Fords on the showroom floor have the same flaws. I worked for Toyota for 20 years and fit and finish was brought up daily. Thank you for watching and your comments, please be sure to subscribe for the latest content. Cheers

186k and still going on my 03 sport trac xlt. It has NOT had an easy life. Rattles on startup. Missing a quarter panel. Not a straight peice of metal on her. She gets back to the dirtbikes trails that jeep owner would never dare attempt. Love my truck dearly.

[@dailydrivernation]

Understood. I hear that from a couple other people about their sport tracks when you start them up cold. Thanks for Sharing and your comments. Please be sure to subscribe for the latest content! Cheers!

Timing chain you should probably get that fixed

[@ZackGoFast]

@@jerwur39l94 litteraly cheaper to run it till it dies and have a jegs reman swapped in. Engine has to come out for rear timing so why not start fresh from there?

The Doors Only Take An Adjustment!! Stop Putting The Vehicle Down !! You Really Don't Know Vehicles!!!

[@dailydrivernation]

After spending 20 years in the car business, appraising over 75,000 vehicles, and operating a dealership, I may have picked up a few nuggets of knowledge. I have noticed over the years is there is a quality difference of fit and finish between Ford product and Toyota product. each product has its pros and cons, I have just found more faults with Fords. Thanks for watching and your comments. Cheers.

[@marinellahobbyfarm-manongb4891]

Rehang the doors dude, stop slamming it

[@dailydrivernation]

The door shouldn’t have to be rehung if it was built properly in the first place. I was a used car appraiser for 18 years and what I learned from many years seeing vehicles that were over 110K miles is that the F150 was built much better than the Explorer Sport Track.

What's with the muscle shirt and "look at me" posing all the time... The focus is meant to be on the truck not your biceps... lol, and not to mention the abuse you are dishing out to that poor truck...

Lots of complaining!!!

[@dailydrivernation]

Yes, you are right; I am complaining a lot because after driving Toyota Tacoma‘s, and Tundra‘s for 20 years, you find a lot of flaws with the Ford. Thanks for watching and your comments. Please be sure to subscribe to the latest content. 😎

[@christopherdeguzman1137]

@@dailydrivernation awesome review. My parents are thinking of getting a 2010 Ford sport trak of which they are replacing since it got into an accident. I told them they should think about getting a Toyota Tacoma, but with the prices on the used market on Taco’s are ridiculous! Funny thing is my parents have a 03’ Solara and a 22’ RAV4 with very low miles and yet they are gonna get a ford. Oh my, I hope the 2010 sport trac they think of getting will be a smart purchase. For me, I don’t think it’s a great decision. For me, I have a 97’ 4Runner with 285k miles and still going strong, along with my Lexus GX470 with 156k miles and my 06’ Highlander with 104k miles going strong. My crappy 07’ Ford free star trans died at 140k miles and my parents 04’ Ford Sport trac was falling apart at only 131k miles. I figure they would learn from their previous Ford sport trac.😅. Anyway, keep up the good work!

[@dailydrivernation]

@@christopherdeguzman1137 this was an extremely rare find for a Ford sport Trac. Most every single Ford sport track I’ve ever seen was not in the condition that this one was in. The previous owner had over 100 service records done to it, so basically the vehicle had every part replaced on it. I agree that a Toyota Tacoma is a much better vehicle and Toyota’s in general than the Ford product. Thanks for watching and your comments, please be sure to subscribe for the latest content.

[@2H2521]

⁠@@dailydrivernationIt also doesn’t help when you’re carelessly banging & slamming on it either. It’s a near 20 year vehicle, lots of stuff you’re complaining about like the doors not shutting correctly can all be easily fixed since it just comes out of adjustment because of age & excessive use. All trucks were like that for decades upon decades without being damped or assisted, that didn’t become a thing until not that long ago. The only thing I agree with is the cruise control buttons. Besides that, most Ford vehicles often hold up extremely well inside & out despite what you say, fit & finish in them is often excellent. Definitely better than the trash from competitors like GM & Chrysler when all their vehicles just fall apart. Lots of pointless Ford bashing! None of these issues are Ford specific either, these can apply to any vehicle including your Tacoma’s & Tundra’s that you say you’ve been driving for 20 years.

Why the hell are you using firestones on it if you know so damn much

Firestone tires were issue back in 2000. This truck is a 2007. Thanks for watching and your comments Cheers 🍻
