Apart from these creature comforts, the Sport Trac is a remarkably civilized vehicle in its own right. The longer wheelbase helps straight line stability, and irons out pitching caused by highway undulations. New urethane body mounts further isolate passengers from road nastiness. The ride is hard to fault on pavement, and the suspension does a good job of keeping the wheels on the ground in the rougher stuff.

2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac - The Car Connection
There are a few clever interior refinements in this Sport Trac that suggest some sort of novelty is afoot, however. Under the center console, for example, is a removable "soft pack" that functions like a little gadget bag, should you choose to remove it from the vehicle for a hike or such. The bulbous knob on the dash, labeled "Vent," invites an exploratory push: S-s-s-t. The vertical rear window has just retracted about an inch-and-a-half.

Visually, the 2002 Ford Sport Trac is not very smooth. It has a rugged, utilitarian look with chunky gray cladding along the sides, and bulges along the body. Sport Trac looks like a box, twice over. First, there's the five-seat cabin and then there's the bed, whose walls are nearly 20 inches high.
CarsEverything - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Review -
With the introduction of the 2001Explorer sport, Ford has continues to update the look of most of their vehicles. What started with the Mustang, Taurus, and all new Ford Focus, continues with the 2001 Explorer Sport. For 2001, the smaller half of the best selling SUV equation in the world gets a facelift, and suspension modifications in order to improve ride and handling, as well as a standard in-dash CD player, and larger front brakes. The new sheetmetal gives the Explorer Sport a younger, muscular, but less refined off-road look, distinctly different from its 4-door brother. Where an Explorer XLS or XLT is geared towards family transportation, the Sport leans towards the adventurous, single, or non-family oriented consumer. The Sport shares its platform with the Sport Trac, which is essentially a Sport with a 4-foot pick-up bed instead of an enclosed cargo area. There is only one available style of Sport, and it can be had in 2 or 4-wheel drive. The base price of the 4-wheel drive Explorer Sport 5-speed is $23,860. This might sound pricey, however Ford gave the Sport an impressive list of standard feature, many of which are options on its competition.
