Now with an independent rear suspension subbing for the rear solid axle, the Sport Trac rides better than ever with a sturdier feel both on-road and off.

V8 can be thirsty, styling not for everyone, small cargo bed compared to traditional pickup trucks.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac Comparisons:

Although the Ford doesn't ooze the feeling of quality and refinement that the Honda does, that price differential should be enough to make a lot of potential buyers forget they ever needed an underfloor trunk.

-- Automobile

The Sport Trac does little to distinguish itself, and we find few reasons to pick it over the other choices in the segment.

-- Edmunds.com

Neither the Ridgeline nor the Colorado offers a V8. So Ford's addition of an uplevel, single overhead cam V8 that can generate 300 lb-ft of torque at 3950 rpm is a good idea.
