Sport Trac is the unrestricted utility vehicle that delivers rugged styling, capable power and performance along with a versatile cargo area to take customers where they want to go.

 

For 2010, Sport Trac helps owners get to their destinations using a next-generation navigation system with SIRIUS Travel Link, which gives drivers and passengers access to up-to-the-minute information and entertainment including coast-to-coast coverage (48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia) of real-time traffic (in select markets) and weather reports; fuel options from more than 120,000 stations sorted by price and distance; major league pro and college sports as well as movie listings from more than 4,500 theaters.

 

Standard for 2010, Trailer Sway Control works in conjunction with Sport Trac's standard AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control™) to determine from the yaw motion of the vehicle if the trailer is swaying and take measures – such as applying precise braking or reduced engine torque – to bring both vehicle and trailer under control.

 

AdvanceTrac with RSC delivers a level of performance that competitive stability control systems can’t match. Unlike competitors systems, the industry-exclusive AdvanceTrac with RSC utilizes a second gyroscopic roll rate sensor to determine the vehicle's body roll angle and roll rate.

 

Trailer Sway joins a host of already standard safety equipment, such as: Safety Canopy® side curtain air bags, AdvanceTrac with RSC, an advanced restraints module and dual front-crash sensors, five-level front-passenger sensing system, driver-seat position sensor, dual-stage front air bags, adaptive load-limiting safety-belt retractors, adaptive front-passenger-seat air-bag tether, adaptive air bag venting and adaptive-stroking steering column.

 

Sport Trac offers an overt nod to its inspiration with a tough truck exterior drawn from the design of the Ford Explorer and Ford F-150. Specific elements include:

 

Sport Trac is outfitted standard with a 4.0-liter V-6 engine and five-speed automatic transmission. The available, class-exclusive, 4.6-liter V-8 engine with six-speed automatic transmission provides a power boost attractive to many customers.

 

Key considerations for Sport Trac’s powertrain options are:

 

Either engine can be equipped with the advanced Control Trac® four-wheel-drive system. Unlike less sophisticated systems, Control Trac automatically transfers torque to the front wheels as needed to maintain maximum traction at all times. This increases safety and security without compromising fuel economy or NVH. In addition, the Control Trac system features a torque-multiplying gear set (4x4 Low) in the transfer case for off-road applications that require extra power including deep sand, steep grades and towing a boat trailer out of water.

 

The Sport Trac front suspension design is a short- and long-arm design with coil-over shocks. The rear suspension is independent with a patent-pending, trailing blade design.

 

Sizable four-wheel disc brakes are standard, as is a four-wheel, four-channel Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) with electronic brake force distribution. The package creates a balanced chassis with ride and handling that is unrivaled in its segment.
