A hexagonal motif in the speaker grilles and door trim adds interest to the interior, and is also found in the cargo bed and on the rear bumper. They are comfortable and provide good support, and the driver's seat is partially power-adjustable. The instrument panel is standard Ford fare, with a stylish flowing design and good placement of instruments and controls. The shifter is mounted on the steering column, freeing floor space. The rear seat is roomier than that of any crew-cab compact pickup, or many extended cab regular pickups.
Access is easy thanks to the full- sized doors.
The cargo box is made of sturdy, dent-resistant SMC composite material. While it's not as roomy as a standard pickup box, it has more space than any car trunk. Compared to a regular Explorer, the Sport Trac has a 14-inch longer wheelbase, stiffer frame, and firmer suspension. All of these characteristics help to increase stability, with no real loss of comfort. On the highway, it's a comfortable cruiser with good visibility, and it is also easily maneuverable around town.
