2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Road Test

There is no greater sense of helplessness than being seated in the rear of a 4X4 while an impassioned brother journalist from Quebec forces it to defy the fundamentals of gravitation by clawing to the summit of a bolder-strewn precipice. Fortunately my francophone friend exhibited superior off-road competency - but more importantly he was driving the all-new 2007 Ford Sport Trac powered by a 4.6-litre, three-valve per cylinder V8. Ford chose to launch the Explorer-based four-wheel drive (4WD) Sport Trac in sunny California, and in doing so gave journalists the opportunity to test their mettle - and that of Ford's - on an off-road course replete with steep pitches, large mud holes and dirt, plenty of dirt.
