The Ford Explorer Sport Trac was Ford's innovative entry into the crew-cab sport utility truck segment. Produced for two generations from 2001-2005 and 2007-2010, it combined the comfort of an Explorer SUV with the utility of a short pickup bed. The first generation used the Explorer's 4.0L V6, but the redesigned second generation offered an optional 292-horsepower 4.6L 3-valve V8, making it much more desirable.
Collectors are drawn to the Sport Trac for its unique design and practicality, representing an early take on the compact crew-cab truck formula that's popular today. The most sought-after models are the second-generation trucks equipped with the V8, especially in the rare Adrenalin trim. This package added monochromatic styling, 20-inch wheels, and a more aggressive appearance, creating a true factory sport truck.
The market for the Sport Trac is still very accessible, with an average sale price under $10,000. However, the wide price range shows a growing separation between average examples and pristine, low-mileage V8 models. As clean SUVs and trucks from the 2000s gain appreciation, the best Sport Tracs, particularly the Adrenalin, are poised to become niche collectibles.
Buying Tips
- Thoroughly inspect the frame for rust, paying close attention to the area above the rear axle and around the spare tire carrier.
- The 5-speed automatic transmission can be a weak point, so watch for harsh shifts or a flashing O/D light during the test drive.
- On second-generation V8 models, listen for any rattling from the timing chains on a cold start, a known issue with the 4.6L 3V engine.
- Check the composite cargo box for cracks or signs of abuse and ensure the optional hard tonneau cover operates correctly and seals against water intrusion.
Prices range from $810 for well-used examples to $27,000 for top-spec V8 variants.
