2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
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.
