2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Ford's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Ford tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Explorer Sport Trac’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my Explorer Sport Trac transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Ford Explorer Sport Trac’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Ford, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Ford Explorer Sport Trac leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Ford Explorer Sport Trac can develop a transmission fluid leak.
