With the addition of a number of new competitive
offerings, the sport utility truck segment is
red hot, and it’s time for the original to raise
the bar again for everyone else to try to
follow," said Chris Feuell, Ford Motor Company
SUV group marketing manager. "This concept
magnifies all of the aspects of Sport Trac that
customers already love and introduces some
street- savvy cues."
The Explorer Sport Trac is the first sport
utility vehicle with the versatility of four
full doors, a roomy feature-filled interior and
a pickup truck’s cargo box. Today’s Explorer
Sport Trac is the only vehicle in its segment to
offer a durable color-coordinated cargo box and
an available swing-over tubular bed extender
that dramatically increases its capability to
haul oversized cargo. The Explorer Sport Trac
concept’s interior is larger and the cargo bed
is about 30 percent bigger than today’s model
for increased cargo capacity.
Ford’s exclusive Roll Stability Control™
technology features roll-rate sensing and
correcting capability, assisting the driver in
maintaining vehicle control during extreme
maneuvers. If the system detects the possibility
of a rollover, within milliseconds, it
automatically engages counter measures to help
the driver maintain maximum control and further
reduce the risk of rollover.
A micro-machined gyroscopic sensor determines
the vehicle’s body roll angle and roll rate.
This information, along with Ford-developed
algorithms embedded in advanced software is used
with other vehicle sensors’ inertial information
on yaw rate, lateral and longitudinal
accelerations to monitor the vehicles roll
stability condition approximately 150 times per
second.
Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) delivers
another performance enhancement on the Explorer
Sport Trac concept – the first IRS application
for the Sport Trac series. IRS offers
significantly better handling over both smooth
and rough surfaces. It absorbs bumps in the road
and reduces impact harshness, resulting in
improved ride quality.
Ford never stops producing top of the line
vehicles with utmost customer satisfaction in
mind. Increased cargo capacity, Roll Stability
Control, Independent Rear Suspension to name a
few is one of the many innovations introduced by
Ford to make your vehicle the ultimate driving
machine.
