Explorer Sport Trac
The Ford Explorer Sport
Trac is a midsize sport utility vehicle with
a pickup truck bed sold mostly in North America.
The Sport Trac is based on the Ford Explorer
SUV and has been built by the Ford Motor Company
since 2001. This pickup truck slots between
the Ford Ranger and Ford F-Series.
2001 saw the introduction
of the Explorer Sport Trac, which put a small
pickup bed behind the four normal SUV doors.
The 2-door Explorer Sport also received the
Sport Trac's more-rugged nose. The 4.0 L Cologne
V6 was the only engine option. This generation
Sport Trac remained in production through
June 2005, with no 2006 model year vehicles
produced.
Despite slow sales,
a new Sport Trac will be added to the Explorer
line in early 2006 for the 2007 model year.
Unlike its predecessor, sold through 2005,
it will feature the V8 engine as an option,
and will be based on the new, larger Explorer
platform. The new Sport Trac's greatest improvements
are an all-new reinforced frame and four-wheel
independent suspension. AdvanceTrac with Roll
Stability Control will be standard in the
Sport Trac.
A special SVT version called the Sport
Trac Adrenalin was planned for the 2007
model year, but has been cancelled
