Ford Explorer Sport Trac Bold Moves

Sport Trac has made the Bold Move to give you more of everything for 2008. More strength. More room. More power. You might say it’s solid proof that "more is better." Let’s start with more safety: This SUV received a government 5-Star crash test rating for all four crash seating positions. And... a Five-Star Rating for Frontal crash. And...The Five-Star Rating for Side-Impact crash. To help achieve all that, they made the vehicle 427% stiffer, thanks to an all-new fully boxed frame with more than 5 times greater torsional rigidity. That means improved agility and responsive handling. To add to this, there’s standard RSC software - plus an anti-lock braking system, traction control and yaw control. These dynamically enhance stability.

Under the hood, the available 4.6L 3-valve V8 and 6-speed transmission is all with 292 hp and 300 lb-ft. of torque - that’s 42% more than before! Inside, a more spacious interior now provides comfort for all passengers. It includes an automatic floor shifter, and a new instrument panel with 2-line message center display. For music, the Audiophile® Sound System has a new 8" subwoofer with 190-watt amplifier plus 6-disc CD changer and navigation system.

For 120 channels of entertainment, SIRIUS Satellite Radio is available. Another forward-looking idea is the new, optional heated windshield. It uses microthin tungsten heating elements embedded in the glass to keep your vision clear. The 26.7% larger cargo bed has a corrosion-proof, sheet-molded composite exterior. It is also deeper and has three integrated tie-down hooks on each side rail. The available add-on cargo cage Bed Extender allows you to open Sport Trac’s tailgate and use it to expand cargo room... or section-off the cargo box when the tailgate is closed.
