* Unitary Body-on-Frame Construction: Combining the strength of a truck frame with the unibody's refinement.
* Compact Pickup Bed: A short cargo bed behind the rear seats, ideal for smaller loads and gear. This was its defining characteristic, differentiating it from a standard SUV.
* SUV-Like Interior and Comfort: It featured a comfortable cabin with seating for up to five (depending on configuration), offering more passenger space than a typical pickup truck.
* Available V6 or V8 Engines: Providing a range of power options to suit different needs. The V8 offered significantly more towing capacity.
* Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) Option: Enhanced capability for off-road driving and adverse weather conditions. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) was also available.
* Towing Capacity: While not as high as a full-size pickup, it still offered respectable towing capacity, particularly with the V8 engine.
* Fold-Down Rear Seats: Increased cargo space when needed. Some models had a 60/40 split-folding seat.
* Rear Access: The tailgate and a drop-down rear window facilitated easy access to the cargo bed.
Features that might vary depending on the trim level and year included things like:
* Leather Upholstery
* Power-adjustable seats
* Sunroof
* Advanced sound systems
* Electronic stability control (ESC)
* Anti-lock brakes (ABS)
It's important to note that specific features and their availability changed across the Sport Trac's production run. Checking a specific year's brochure or online resources will give you the most accurate details for a particular model.
