For Sale: 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac ("Adrenalin" Package, "Coyote" V8, 6-speed)
The Ford Explorer Sport Trac didn't have a long life. Spanning only over two generations, the Explorer SUV-based midsize truck served as the smaller alternative to the F-150 in the absence of the Ford Ranger in the U.S.
As the Explorer moved into a unibody platform, though, the Sport Trac variants had to be axed and ended production in October 2010. Of note, the second-generation Explorer Sport Trac only ran for three years.
If you're looking for a used Explorer Sport Trac to buy, check out this nicely optioned and modified example. First, it has the Adrenalin package, which makes the truck look sportier. More importantly, it got an engine swap — a 5.0-liter naturally-aspirated Coyote V8 resides under its hood. Yes, the same engine specifically developed for the Mustang GT.
Power figures weren't disclosed on the listing, but it's safe to say that this truck makes over 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. Even better, it's connected to a six-speed manual gearbox, an option that was removed on this generation of the Explorer Sport Trac.
