2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac


The first Sport Trac was launched back in 2001. This took place during the campaign of No Boundaries. Creatively merging the elements of an SUV and a truck, the Sport Trac soon caught attention of the public. This year, the 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac has taken a step forward in the name of space and safety.

The 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac has paid more attention to dimensions, safety and houses a V-8 engine. Two different trim levels are also made available: XLT and Limited. The XLT models come with black roof rails, gray bumper cladding and 16-inch wheels. The Limited models, on the other hand, have body-colored bumpers, silver roof rails and wheels that are eighteen inches. What comes standard for the 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac are the fog lamps and power rear window. These are new standards for this 2008 model.

The inside is reminiscent of the Ford Explorer. The XLT model has the standard power equipment and the Limited model puts in a couple of features which is more on the side of luxury. This includes the dual-zone automatic climate control and the 10-way power driver’s seat. It can accommodate up to five passengers: front bucket seats and a three-place second row bench. The optional Ford Sync system makes it possible to provide control of mobile phones that are compatible, as well as portable music players which are voice-activated or steering wheel control.

It has the standard 4.0L V6, 12 valve engine with 210 horsepower at 5100 rpm. Its transmission is a 5-speed automatic. It has 245 lb.-ft. of torque. The 4.6L V8 is able to produce 292 horsepower and 300 lb.-ft. of torque. This works with a 6-speed automatic.

For the sake of safety, the all-disc anti-lock brakes should be a form of assurance. There is also an electronic stability system with rollover mitigation. This makes the vehicle aware of approaching rollovers and makes an effort to put a stop to it by making use of the individual brakes. To ensure safety, side-impact airbags located at the front seats and side curtain airbags for the two rows are included.
