Slowwww... or fast, if your comparing it to a yugo!

Honestly, it depends. 5 speed manual or Auto? 4x4 or 4x2? Even the amount of options it has can make a difference.
A sport trac motor trend tested that was auto and 4x4 got a 16.6 1/4 mile. Should be close to that.
 






a explorer sport 4x2 auto
 






Car and Driver estimated an 8 second 0-60 time and 16.2@84 of an '01 Sport 4x4. So it's going to be around there.
 






It will vary +/- 2 seconds from that, depending on the driver. The exact time is unknown.

Why would you need to know such information?
 












You CAN pull out all of the non-esential weight (seats, spare tire, carpet, etc.), put in a higher-stall torque converter, change the shift point settings in the CPU (which controls the tranny), and put in hotter cams, headers, stage 5 turbo setup.....AHG AHG AHG :bounce:

BUT then what you would have is a truck that isn't really that drivable on the street, and still kinda lacks at the track.....but if ya wanna crush cars....
 






I'll be taking my to the track in a week or two just for my own curriosity.
I'll post and let ya know.
I am hoping for a mid to low 15 considering my mods.
Weather or not I hit it, we will see.
