Star-Telegram.com 10/12/2005 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
When Ford introduced the redesigned Explorer for 2002, with an entirely new and larger chassis, the Sport Trac remained in production on the older Explorer chassis, which itself was derived from the platform of the compact Ranger pickup. This engine is rated at 210 horsepower and 254 foot-pounds of torque. A Sport Trac equipped with this engine can tow a trailer weighing up to 5,310 pounds, and can carry up to 1,450 pounds of cargo. With the V-8, the truck can tow up to 6,800 pounds, but payload is slightly reduced - 1,430 pounds.
Advance Folding Hard Truck Cover accessories
Of all installations, the installation of the Ford Explorer Sport Trac cover is probably the easiest as this truck bed was specifically designed to accept a folding hard cover. The main reason that this installation is the easiest is that the most time-consuming aspect about the installation revolves around carefully measuring and placing the two rows of gaskets onto the truck rails to create the weatherproof seal.

The new enlarged body shop also is very flexible, allowing the plant to quickly alter the mix of vehicles. Customer wants can be rapidly satisfied. If customers order more Sport Tracs, for example, the body shop can run more of those models without upsetting the "rhythm" of the factory. This is possible because all of the models have common locating or "hard" points. "The Explorer Sport Trac, Explorer Sport and four-door Explorer share a common body shop, paint, trim, chassis and final assembly line," according to Explorer Sport Trac Chief Program Engineer Steve Ross. Ross, who ordinarily resides in Michigan, has been on site in Louisville working with assembly plant employees as well as engineers to help assure a smooth manufacturing launch. All major body panels, except the roof, on the Explorer Sport Trac are made of two-sided galvanized steel.

Explorer Sport Trac combines the benefits of the four-door Explorer with the added utility of a 4-foot-long cargo area made of durable sheet molding composite - a first in the segment - for "one-vehicle-does-it-all" versatility. From the C-pillar forward, Explorer Sport Trac is a five-passenger SUV. But, behind the rear passenger compartment, Explorer Sport Trac breaks the mold, featuring one of the industry's first one-piece, all composite cargo areas. Made of durable sheet molding composite (SMC), it has molded-in texture, a mar-resistant low-gloss coating, and is virtually maintenance-free, requiring no liner. An optional cargo keeper also extends the utility of the cargo area. This U-shaped tubular device hinges on the interior sides of the cargo area and rests on the cargo floor. When flipped out over Explorer Sport Trac's tailgate, it extends the cargo area length from more than 4 feet to almost 6 feet to accommodate several 4- by 8-foot sheets of plywood or other materials.

Along with the advanced technology, the Sport Trac is eminently functional. The 4 ˝-foot cargo box is constructed of corrosion-proof sheet molded composite (SMC) with a molded-in black inner liner that resists scratches and is dent-proof. The box is notched, allowing customers to place two 2x4 boards across the span to provide tiered storage of materials - including the ubiquitous 4x8 sheets of plywood. For safety, the Sport Trac incorporates some of Ford's latest technologies. "The 2007 Sport Trac offers the same impressive suite of safety features as the 2006 Explorer," said Sue Cischke, vice president, Environmental and Safety Engineering. "It offers active safety technology - including confidence-inspiring handling and braking combined with AdvanceTrac® with industry-exclusive Roll Stability Control (RSC® - to help prevent accidents.
