Oh, this is definitely not your typical SUV. Doesn’t look like it, doesn’t act like it. this is more like SUV 2. Explorer Sport Trac’s got the mud-lovin’ get-some-dirt-in-my-treads mindset and cargo-hauling capability of a truck. Plus, the versatility and just plain nice amenities of an SUV – like comfy seating for five. So whether you’re looking to rip it up on the off-road paths, conquer a remodel in a game of weekend warrior, or pack in a few friends for a night on the town, Sport Trac is ready, willing and able. After all, Sport Trac loves a challenge. Don’t you?  MENU  Explorer Sport Trac XLT Premium in Red Fire Metallic. Sport Trac is just the kind of friend everybody wants. It hauls the bikes, plows through the mud, and still gets the attention at the local hangout.  MENU  Explorer Sport Trac XLT Premium in Silver Birch Metallic. Rugged when it needs to be. Good lookin’ all the time. Sport Trac turns on the charm whenever you want it. Like when it’s just you and... well, you decide.  MENU  If it’s right for your life, it’s gotta be right for every part of it – work, play and all the stuff in between. Sport Trac can take it on, thanks to serious versatility and a need for adventure. Its open cargo bed is ready for whatever you want to load up. 4x4 or 4x2 capability? Your choice. Either way, you get standard equipment like 4-wheel-disc anti-lock brakes, great-looking 16" wheels and rear privacy glass. And the low-emissions V6 engine pumps out 210 hp @ 5200 rpm with 240 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3000 rpm. So when you’re ready to 4 x floor it, go ahead. 1 They say, “Never go off-roading alone.” Available front tow hooks help out when your friend’s less-capable truck doesn’t cut it (4x4 models). 2 Catch a cross breeze or grab your gear through Sport Trac’s power rear window. One tap of the control lowers it a few inches; twist it to lower the window all the way. There’s even an anti-pinch sensor to guard against minor mishaps. 3 It folds. It locks. It covers up your stuff. The available factory-installed hard tonneau cover is just what you need to get the most out of Sport Trac. Or into it. 4 With a 180º range, the optional Cargo Cage Bed Extender folds out to instantly extend the bed to 6 feet. It transports bikes and swallows up building materials with ease. There’s even a handy bed-mounted bike carrier accessory.* 5 Load it up, tie it down. Eight tie-down hooks (three on each rail and two inside the box) give you plenty of options. 6 No need for a bedliner here. Sport Trac’s industry-first all-composite cargo bed is tough, scratch-resistant and corrosion proof. And it’s lighter than steel. 2 1 3 4 5 5 6 *Dealer-installed. See dealer for details.  MENU  You never could sit still for a minute. That’s why you’re made for Sport Trac. But sometimes you have to spend some serious drive time in order to find your next rush. Don’t worry. Say “ahhh” to Sport Trac’s available heated front seats, power front lumbar support, rear audio/climate controls and leather seating surfaces. Sink into the sporty buckets. You can load up to five with room to stretch out. Finally, you’ve got a reason to just sit still. 1 It’s all within reach, and it’s all standard on XLT and XLT Premium models: remote keyless entry with door-mounted keypad, leatherwrapped steering wheel, tilt, speed control and CD/cassette player. 2 Bring on the bass with Sport Trac’s available Pioneer® 6-disc in-dash CD player. The Trac-tuned system thumps 290 watts through 7 speakers. 3 Berber floor mats with the Sport Trac logo dress up XLT and XLT Premium models. Underneath, textured, molded-composite flooring takes on the muddiest hiking boots, then cleans right up. 4 You don’t like to think about safety, but you should. Sport Trac’s available Safety CanopyTM System uses advanced sensors to deploy side curtain airbags* in certain side-impact or rollover events. Each airbag covers approximately 2/3 of the side glass. It stays inflated for a longer duration to provide enhanced head and shoulder protection. 5 We know. You pride yourself on defying the elements. But once you’ve experienced Sport Trac’s available heated front seats, you’re never going back. 6 Got more stuff than people? No sweat. Just fold down the 60/40 split rear bench and you’ve got an instant cargo carrier. 1 2 3 4 6 54 *Always wear your safety belt and secure children in the rear seat.
