2005 Ford Sport Trac Adrenalin Concept

As with the first Sport Trac concept, the Adrenalin will feature the Volvo-developed Roll Stability Control system,

which uses on-board sensors to cut engine power and/or apply the brakes to prevent the truck from rolling over under hard cornering, and resultantly solving one of the current Sport Trac's most disconcerting problems. The system works in tandem with AdvanceTrac, Ford's anti-skid/traction control system, to help drivers maintain control in slippery conditions or emergency manoeuvres.

The Sport Trac Adrenalin concept is a change from the usual for SVT, but it's a change for the better. The Adrenalin is faster, safer, and smarter than past performance trucks, but it's also more practical with its larger cabin, bed and towing capacity. As such, when the vehicle goes into production in 2007, it will undoubtedly be a hit, one of the most desirable and best performing sport trucks to date.
