Ford deserves credit for creating one of the more successful SUT vehicles. Based on the Explorer SUV, the Sport Trac differs from the rear doors back with the inclusion of a 4.5-foot composite bed. The bed includes 3 storage compartments for added utility. Sport Trac is offered with both V6 and V8 engines in 4x2 or 4x4 configurations. An independent rear suspension is a notable improvement over traditional truck-based offerings.

An Adrenalin appearance package is added with styling inspired by the 2005 concept vehicle. Sport Trac Adrenalin wears distinctive front and rear fascias, and 20 inch wheels. Other models gain new colors and an optional SYNC (TM) system for hands free operation of phones and entertainment devices.
