2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Overview

Introduction

The Ford Explorer Sport Trac is effectively an Explorer SUV with a pickup bed, a midsize utility vehicle that delivers rugged styling, capable power and a versatile cargo area.

The five-passenger Sport Trac is available in rear-wheel, four-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations, in a choice of two trim levels: XLT or Limited (Limited only on all-wheel drive models). Two powertrain combinations are available: a 210-hp 4.0-liter V6 engine mated to a five-speed automatic transmission is standard on all trims, while a 292-hp 4.6-liter V8 engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission is optional on the Limited. Sport Trac XLT trims are well-equipped with 16-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, cruise control, satellite radio and MP3 capability; Limited trims are further outfitted with 18-inch chrome-clad wheels, side step bars, hard tonneau cover, heated front seats, leather upholstery, upgraded audio and the SYNC communication system with Bluetooth wireless connectivity. Standard safety features on every Sport Trac include AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, traction control, anti-lock disc brakes and a tire pressure monitor, as well as dual front, front side-impact and side-curtain airbags.

For 2010, the Ford Explorer Sport Trac carries over with minor adjustments to standard equipment and a restructured ordering strategy. The XLT trims now get manual driver lumbar support, while Limited trims get revised wheels and an upgraded audio system with 6-disc CD changer.
