Vehicle Highlights
The Sport Trac crew-cab SUV carries on for 2004 without its Sport 2-dr wagon stablemate. Sport Trac plays a dual role, combining a 4-dr, 5-seat SUV cabin with a 4-ft-long pickup-truck bed. Sport was a traditional enclosed SUV. Based on the 1995-2001 Explorer design, Sport Trac has a V6 engine and 5-speed automatic transmission. It's available with rear-wheel drive or Ford's ControlTrac 4WD that can be left engaged on dry pavement and includes low-range gearing. ABS is standard. Head-protecting curtain side airbags are optional. Also available are leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a sunroof.
