my 2004 Sport Trac Adrenalin
I have had very few problems with my Sport Trac. Ball joints were replaced at 12k and the transfercase was rebuilt at 29k due to a problem with hanging up in low or not shifting into 4wd at all. Drivers window reg was replaced at 29k and they fixed an evap problem at 35k under warranty.For having such a small engine it still pulls and I have more than once exceeded the 3500 lb towing capacity by 100%(I towed combined 7000 once) The trans cooler is a definete plus for towing. My friends Silverado trans went out going over the divide in Colorado with less miles towing about the same loads as me.(a Jeep) My fluid was cool to the touch while he had smoke comming out of his fill tube!
Great Truck
This is the second Sport Trac that I have owned; they both have been great trucks.

So Far - So Good - 2004 Sport Trac Adrenalin 4X4
This review is for the 2004 Sport Trac Adrenalin 4X4. Bought the truck brand new from a dealer in 2004. It's now 2019. So far, I've only had to do the scheduled maintenance and have suffered no issues. Nothing has broken. The truck has always been garaged. Had to change tires obviously. I work from home, so I only have 63,500 miles after 15 years. There's no rust on the body so far, but I just moved to South Dakota and that may change as they use heavy salt here. I'm driving even less miles than I did in the previous 15 years, so the truck just may outlive me by a hefty margin. I bathe and wax it 1X per month *religiously*, so that may have prevented body rust over the years, but can't tell for sure. Also, I only used it to do light towing of < 2500lbs and trips to home depot for mulch and such. Never gave it a full towing load and I don't drive vehicles hard like some folk. I drive alone most of the time and kept 1-6, 75lb sand bags in the bed to avoid the classic rear end pickup floating hazard in slippery conditions. In the winter, I use a higher number of sand bags. In the summer, I only use 2.

New Adrenalin
We absolutely love the new truck and we get compliments all of the time. Enough room to haul and still versatile. The stereo in the Adrenalin is awesome!
So far so good
Had mine for a month so far so good.
