#68 of 95 ST TOWING ABILITY by clemford Feb 10, 2004 (10:51 am)
Ok, St is a good looking truck with multi functions, but how is it really at towing. It is rated for 5000 lbs with the 4x4 and 4.1 ration limited slip differential, but I am concerned with the 4.0 litre motor. If they offered the 4.6 as they do on the regular Exlplorer, I would probably jump on it but I am tentative with a 6 cylinder towing a 2000 lb horse trailer with 2 800 pound horses inside (net 3600 lbs).   Is the 4.0 big enough for this job?

Well it depends on a lot of things. I towed a 3,500 pound boat with my 2000 Explorer 4 door with 4.1 gears a couple of summers back. You can defiently feel the weight when taking off from a stop sign/light or getting on the expressway. Once you are underway you just leave it out of O/D and it cruises fine. If I used the boat more, I probably wouldn't like using this drivetrain for hauling the boat around. I would say that if you don't haul the horses around every weekend or for 500 mile trips, you should be fine. However if you do, I might look at an F-150 Supercrew, or other fullsize pickup. Goodluck with your shopping.
#70 of 95 heated leather seats not very warm by iaaj Feb 18, 2004 (10:15 am)
So far I am enjoying my new sport trac and I like the fact that the seat heater/s stay on the next time I use the vehicle, if they are not turned off. I agree, Ford could have put the switch/indicator on the dashboard for easier view/operation. But they aren't very warm, compared to other vehicle's heated seats I have owned, is this normal? The heated seats in my Dodge are noticeably warmer.
#71 of 95 iaaj - Heated Seats by mmccloskey Feb 19, 2004 (6:33 am)
Greetings:   I have an '03 ST w/heated leather seats and they get plenty warm/hot! It takes about 1-2 minutes to get up to full temp but after about 5 minutes I have to turn them off because they get too hot. If you leave them on I believe there is a timer that shuts them off after about 10 minutes. I was not aware the seat heater would automatically come on if you didn't turn it off previously. That certainly wouldn't due in the heat of Summer, when entering your hot vehicle only to have the seats heat up even more!   I also have a '02 ES300 and it has high/low heated seats and they do turn off after about 10 minutes.   M.

#72 of 95 heated seats.... by iaaj Feb 19, 2004 (3:25 pm)
Thanks M.J.,  maybe there's a problem where mine do not get hot enough; I'll have to ask my service Rep. The manual (2004) says the heater will come on the next time you use the vehicle if you had not shut them off previously. In the summer I won't be turning them on, of course If they do cycle off, I wouldn't notice since the switch/indicator is on the side of the seat/s near the door where you cannot see it without opening the door. On my 03 Dodge Ram there is a high/low switch which makes a noticeable difference. It does not shut off automatically but since the indicator is on the dash, it is very visible and can be adjusted as necessary.   -jim
#73 of 95 Headlight Low Beam by rhodesia Jan 12, 2006 (4:02 pm)
Hello I have a 2003 Sport Trac XLT. my question is that drivers side low beam does not work but the high beam does, passenger side headlight works fine low and high. I changed out the bulb on the driver side but it still does the same thing does not come on. the fuse is good since there is only one fuse for the headlights. The dealer wants to charge me $95.00 per hour to do a complete ele. systems check. does anybody out there know what else might be the trouble before I spend this much just to see why the low beam will not work? please post or e-mail thanks
