The all-new, 2007 Explorer Sport Trac shares much of its platform and technology with the current Explorer SUV, which Ford redesigned last year. Thanks to almost 17 inches of added wheelbase compared with the previous model's, the Sport Trac boasts a 4.3-foot-long composite bed and crew-cab pickup-type seating for five adults.
The biggest improvements this year are the all-new reinforced frame and four-wheel independent suspension. The new IRS, attacking corners and banked turns with significantly more confidence and composure, is far superior to the two-generation-old live-axle/leaf-spring setup on the previous Sport Trac. Add Control Trac, Advance Trac, and roll-stability software programs to help keep all four wheels safely on the ground (plus front, side, and curtain airbags in case they don't), and you have a fine, practical solution for those who want SUV feel with pickup-truck style.
