4.6L V8 Engine
Sport Trac is up for any adventure on whatever trail you choose to travel. The available 4.6L V8 engine features 3 valves per cylinder and advanced dual-equal variable cam timing technology. It cranks out an awesome 292 hp, 315 lb.-ft. of torque and impressive 15 city/21 highway fuel economy (EPA estimated 15 city/21 hwy mpg).
6 Speed Transmission
The 4.6L V8's 6-speed automatic transmission has a wide span of gear ratios across the six speeds, providing responsive acceleration at the low end with an incredible 315 lb.-ft. of torque plus enhanced fuel economy at the overdrive 6th gear.*
*EPA estimated 15 city/21 hwy mpg (4x2) and 14 city/20 hwy mpg (4x4).
Stiff Frame
The present generation of Sport Trac is designed with a fully boxed frame providing 427% more torsional stiffness than its predecessor. This impressively solid foundation translates directly into improved agility and more responsive handling on the road and on the trail.
Fully Independent Suspension
The suspension system of today's Sport Trac utilizes a Short- and Long-Arm (SLA) design up front and a trailing-arm design at the rear. Both are fully independent and supply an ideal combination of smooth road performance, agile control and rugged durability.
Available 4WD or AWD
Whether your adventure takes you on city streets or off hard pavement, you'll be glad to know your Sport Trac 4x4 is equipped with the ControlTrac® System's outstanding road-gripping capability. Choose the 4x4 AUTO setting for everyday driving, kick it up to 4x4 HIGH when you need extra traction, and 4x4 LOW for serious off-road ventures. Sport Trac also offers an optional All-Wheel Drive (AWD) System on the aggressively styled Adrenalin custom street tuner. AWD is a full-time, fully automatic system that instantly delivers traction to the wheels needing it most.
Big Towing Capability
A properly equipped V8-powered Sport Trac 4x2 has a maximum Class III/IV towing capacity of 7,160 lbs. (6,990 lbs. with 4x4). The V6-powered Sport Trac is pretty impressive too, with a 5,250-lb. rating (4x2) and 5,080-lb. rating (4x4) when properly equipped. And you'll tow with more confidence while on the road with Sport Trac's new Trailer Sway Control feature that works with the AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ System to help keep both vehicle and trailer under control.
Trailer Tow Packages
Bring your favorite recreation vehicle along on your next trek - Sport Trac can haul it. A Class II Trailer Tow Package with trailer tow wiring is standard on all Sport Trac models with a trailer weight capacity up to 3,500 lbs. For greater towing capacity up to 7,160 lbs. (Sport Trac 4x2 with V8), there's the available Class III/IV Trailer Tow Package that includes a hitch receiver and 7-pin wiring connector.
Standard Safety Canopy
Sport Trac provides impressive airbag protection: front and side airbags for the driver and front seat passenger; and the Safety Canopy® System with side curtain airbags providing protection in a rollover accident for the front and 2nd-row outboard passengers. In certain side impacts or rollovers, the airbags stay inflated longer for enhanced head and shoulder protection. Even with this comprehensive airbag coverage, always remember to buckle up your safety belt and secure children in the rear seat.
5 Star Crash Test Ratings
Sport Trac has earned 5-Star ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for front and side-impact crash tests at all four seating positions.*

Large Bed
The Sport Trac cargo bed takes 37.5 cu. ft. of gear. Three storage bins with weather-resistant lids and removable drain plugs hold smaller items below the cargo bed deck. Add the optional cargo cage bed extender and you can carry an additional 6 cu. ft. of gear.
Cargo Bed Extender
The optional cargo cage Bed Extender adds an additional 6-plus cubic feet of storage space.
