Overview
The
2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac is a crossover sport utility
vehicle based on the best-selling Ford Explorer.
Explorer
Sport Trac combines the best interior features of the
four-door Explorer with more cargo-carrying versatility,
with its standard short pickup-style cargo box. At the
same time, Sport Trac is designed to protect an adventurous
image with bold styling inside and out, and good ride
and handling characteristics.
Design
The
Ford Explorer Sport Trac redefined the sport utility
segment by offering the versatility of four full doors,
a roomy feature-filled interior, combined with a 51-inch
pickup box.
The
Sport Trac is the world's first SUV with a durable color-coordinated
Sheet Molded Composite (SMC) cargo box and an available
swing-over tubular bed extended that dramatically increases
Sport Trac's capacity to haul bulky cargo.
An
available lockable hard tonneau cover converts the pickup
bed into a giant trunk.
Sport
Trac is based on the popular 4-door Explorer, with the
frame lengthened 14.25 inches and made 40 percent stiffer.
Added to this platform is a specially tuned suspension
and bigger, more powerful brakes.
