While all Explorer-series models can lay claim to versatility,
the 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac truly epitomizes the idea.
The design of the 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac combines
the construction of an SUV with that of a rugged pickup
truck. The result is an innovative vehicle with the best
attributes of both. The comfort and handling of a sport
utility are retained, while the toughness and durability
of Ford trucks are readily apparent.
Available Models
The 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac comes in three models:
XLS, XLT and XLT Premium. All three feature the same design,
but differ in the amount of standard equipment.
Interior Features
The four-door, five-passenger 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
offers three different seating packages, allowing owners
to fit their vehicles to accommodate their needs. Revised
low-back buckets seats, a new door trim and new interior
colors give the Sport Trac a fresh look. The 2003 Ford Explorer
Sport Trac comes standard with an AM/FM stereo/single CD
player with an integrated clock. At the top of the line,
the XLT Premium offers such standards as front-seat power
lumbar support, 6-way power driver seat, rear climate and
radio controls and an overhead console that contains two
map/courtesy lights, compass, outside temperature display
and garage door opener storage bin.
For options, customers can feast on the new Adrenaline
package. With a 485-watt PioneerTM sound system, new wheels
and limited paint colors, the name is bang on.
Exterior Features
Sport Trac has a four-door SUV cabin, but gets a 4-ft-long
pickup-truck bed in lieu of an enclosed cargo area. The
bed, which measures 50 inches long and 19.7 inches deep,
offers 29.6 cubic feet of cargo space. Did someone mention
versatility?
Performance
The engine on the Sport Trac is a 4.0-liter V6 with 203
horsepower at 5200 rpm and 237 lb-ft of torque at 3000 rpm.
When properly equipped, the Explorer Sport Trac has a 5,300-pound
maximum towing capacity. 2WD and 4WD configurations are
both available, as are 5-speed manual and 5-speed automatic
transmissions.
Independent short- and long-arm front suspension offers
a combination of smooth ride and secure handling. The rack-and-pinion
steering system provides good returnability, low steering
effort and communicative road feel.
Safety and Security
Safety features have been improved on the 2003 Explorer
Sport Trac. Rear disc brakes replace drums in the antilock
brake configuration. Electronic rollover sensors provide
additional protection by measuring whether the vehicle is
tilting, how fast the lean angle is changing and whether
the combination means the vehicle might be headed for a
rollover.
