There is a dude around the corner from me that has an Adrenalin. It is legit one of my dream vehicles ever since I saw it as a concept vehicle. They are pretty hard to find. Though over the past couple of years they have dropped in price and started to show up randomly. When the Mav was announced, all I could think about was making it a baby Adrenalin lol.

Back when I had my Sport Trac, I rented trailers from a local place that supplied contractors. They had no issues renting me a trailer loaded with 24' scaffolding. Trailer and scaffolding was all aluminum, well under weight limits.

While that was good for you. Unfortunately for me. Having the largest consumer trailer rental company in the United States U-Haul ban any of their trailers to be towed with a Explorer Sport Trac SUCKED
Several times when I was traveling I would see a motorcycle for sale that I wanted to buy and couldn't bring it home because you all wouldn't rent me a trailer. I bought it for occasionally Towing when U-haul wouldn't rent me a trailer it became useless to me.

Yes they did, but with names Ford makes lots of mistakes for some unknown reason.
Like the electric mustang.
Someone should be horse whipped for putting the Sacred Mustang name on anything that doesn’t growl and burn gas.
Mustang GTD that’s a Super Car now.


The Ford Mustang GTD has achieved a remarkable lap time of 6:52.072 at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, making it the fastest American production car to lap the track. This time is significantly faster than the previous record of 6:57.685, which was also set by the Mustang GTD. The Mustang GTD is now the fourth-fastest production sports car overall at the Nürburgring, according to Ford.


The Mustang GTD's performance at the Nürburgring is a testament to its engineering and performance capabilities. The car's sub-7-minute lap time is a significant achievement, particularly for an American production car, and it showcases the Mustang GTD's potential on a demanding track like the Nürburgring.

The Mach E could have been labeled anything. It should not be associated with the Stang.
I whole heartly agree. All it did was scare me that Danny boys brother was going to axe the Mustang ICE. (I actually like the guy but sometimes I worry he mistakes "novel" for intelligent.)

I find this thread interesting as I had 2 Sport Tracs, an '04 and an '05.
The green '04 was t-boned and totaled out, so I then found the black '05.
I really enjoyed my time with them, and I draw some similarities between them and my Maverick.

Here are both Sport Tracs together after the green one was t-boned.

The Ford Sport Trac seats were by far more comfortable then the Mavericks.

I agree, everytime I see one of those electric Mustangs, I say"that is not a Mustang". It should have been called the Galaxie. They own the name (Galaxie 500) and could have called it the "GalaxiE". Yes, I'm a marketing genius!!!!

We're criticizing Ford calling a crossover vehicle a Mustang. Yet we're all driving Mavericks which used to be a CAR.. That's kind of ironic, isn't it? When I heard that they were calling their new truck the Maverick, the first thing I said was "this isn't a Maverick". 😂😂😂😂
