The Ford Explorer Sport Trac, sometimes referred to as simply the Ford Sport Trac, was and is a mid-size sport utility truck sold mostly in North America produced by the Ford Motor Company from 2000 through 2010. The Sport Trac was based on the Ford Explorer SUV - not based on the compact Ford Ranger - because it was introduced when the Explorer and Ranger platforms diverged. The Sport Trac fell between the Ranger and Ford F-Series in Ford's truck lineup, based on capability and price. It competed with other mid-size SUTs, trucks and SUVs, such as the mid-size Honda Ridgeline SUT and even the larger full-size Chevrolet Avalanche SUT. During its first year on sale in the U.S., there was a waiting list of over 3 months. It was technically the first but soon-to-be-not-only body-on-frame sport utility truck. The Sport Trac was and still is a Class 2 vehicle with a GVWR of 6250 lbs. and a maximum GCWR of 12,000 lbs. This makes it one of the more and the then most capable mid-size pickups, having a greater GVWR and GCWR than the Dodge Dakota, GM's GMC Canyon/Chevrolet Colorado pickups and Toyota Tacoma. The Sport Trac was discontinued in October 2010, even though it was announced in earlier press releases that production would end in 2011[1], since the 2011 unibody-Ford Explorer was introduced in December 2010. The Sport Trac was sold through the 2011 calendar year as a 2010 model. Wikipedia [ - ]
