I don't know how many of you have seen the Ford Explorer SportTrac, but here are my reasons for getting it (short bed and all).
4 doors - back seat (mostly for our daughter - Jazz the Chocolate Lab)
Independant Suspension (our road is washboard most of the time)
V-8 -- for towing and PA mountains
4WD - 4Wauto (AWD), 4W High, & 4W Low - I do wish I could run in RWD only.
Pick up bed - so the trash (stinky garbage) isn't inside an SUV when it is HOT out.
I got a hitch extender so you can haul 8' lumber etc. with the gate down.
It fits in the garage with room to walk behind and in front.
This was the only 4WD truck I could find that met all those wants.

While this thread is about what can't be understood these days .......
How can anyone call RAP music ??????
Why does anyone want to walk around with stupid underwear showing and no belt ?
Why would someone with hair want to look like they just rolled out of bed or stuck their finger in a light socket ??? Some people do that on purpose ???
How things that have been WRONG for centuries are suddenly OK ????
Why some people NEED a cell phone in their ear constantly (even while driving) ??
:confused2: :confused2: :confused2:

My brother has an '01 Sport Trac, was new in this pic, looks like s--- now after 156,000 miles. He likes it but wishes he had more cargo room in the back. The pickup bed is TINY. Can you get a 4 foot wide sheet of plywood between the fenderwells? I think not.

All you old fogies are a blast to listen to :laughing:
As a 24 year old, I will weigh in my opinion.
Hamburgers: A lot of specialty diners have had and done burgers as you are saying for decades.** Those are some of my favorite burgers, but I do always love a good traditional burger as well. I don't enjoy the fast food places as much as your old time diners anyways, the fast food places always screw up on the specialty burgers anyways, it's just sad :thumbdown:
Tatoos: Agreed for the most part. Though it's each persons prerogative to do what they want, but full body is just ridiculous, smaller ones can be ok.
Tiny bed on full size trucks: Different purposes and needs for different people. Some people haul around a trailer all day and would rather have a shorter bed with more passenger room as they don't ever use the bed to haul much besides maybe some fuel cans, etc.
Low rider jeans: Yea those guy's are just idiots, no argument there :laughing:
RAP: No argument here, terrible :biggrin:
People with headsets or cellphones always up to their ear: Very annoying. I go on business trips all the time and some of these people deserve to be slapped.

Last point: I am getting hungry for a burger :licking:
**Our local diner has this burger that they have made for decades that is very delicious! Nice thick hamburger patty, thick slab of ham, sloppy joe meat, tomato, lettuce, cheese, special relish, and some special sauce that they use. It is a thing of beauty and is the tastiest thing that I have ever eaten :licking::licking:

Regarding small beds on trucks:
I seems to me when you purchase something that is supposed to be able to do many things, it winds up that it really does do many things but it does none of them very well. It's true with cars, boats, tools and just about anything. This is the biggest reason for having more than one vehicle.

I've got a half ton PU with a 6'bed.I can lay a pice of ply wood flat between the wheel wells.If I'm hauling something longer I have a hitch extender that I keep in the toolbox,very handy item.For more hauling I've got a daul axle trailer,16'.As far as tatooes I had the unit I served with in Vietnam tooed on my right arm when I got home,damn proud of it.I've seen some that even have their faces tooed,I think when they get my age they will prob. regret that.Burgers are good chop chop,its hard to go wrong with a good burger...russ

I don't have a p up Have mercury mountaineer it rides nice pulls my trailer good with it's v8. Only fast food burger I do is hardees mushroom Swiss. And as for rap I do not like african rock. Tats are for those who like them I don't have whole body have 12 but can cover with long shirt. Not sure what I dislike more rap or punk give me some 60-70-80s rock and I'm happy. Life was so much more simple back in the 70s and 80s Everyone now wants to text Kids dont even know how to go out and play with toys or ride a bike or build a fort. Would not own a half a truck get a p up or don't get one
