2008 Ford Explorer

With only a 1-mpg penalty for moving from the V-6 to the V-8, the 2008 Ford Explorer’s upgrade engine is worth it if you can afford it.

features & specs

As the perennial best-selling truck-based SUV, the Ford Explorer is still the one to beat.

The car experts at TheCarConnection.com consulted road tests from across the Web to write this conclusive review of the 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. This profile of the 2008 Explorer Sport Trac also compares it with similar vehicles to give you the unbiased advice you need when shopping.

When you look at the 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, what you see is part Ford Explorer SUV and part pickup truck. And what you see is what you get. The Sport Trac is about 17 inches longer than the SUV on which it’s based. Behind the five-passenger interior is a 4.5-foot cargo bed made from rust- and dent-proof plastic (technically, it’s called sheet molded compound, or SMC). The deep plastic bed features three enclosed storage bins, a standard 12-volt outlet, and an optional cover and tubular bed extender. Based on this alone, the Sport Trac is certainly useful for hauling things around, and with the optional V-8, it can tow more than 6,600 pounds.

The 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac features a standard 210-horsepower, 4.0-liter V-6, while an available 4.6-liter V-8 powerplant provides 292 horsepower and comes with a six-speed automatic transmission. The V-6 gets a five-speed automatic. There’s a choice of two-wheel drive or Ford’s ControlTrac four-wheel drive if you want extra traction. ControlTrac offers a two-speed transfer case with a low range just in case the Sport Trac heads off-road.

The 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac drives like what it is: a fairly large but not quite full-size truck. The Sport Trac is neither fast nor nimble, but then it doesn’t look much like a sportscar, does it? Acceleration even with the optional V-8 engine isn’t stellar; the coarse sound of the V-6 is noticeable, and the engine has to work pretty hard to keep the 4,600-pound truck moving. Wind and road noise levels are acceptable, but not particularly low.

Inside, the look is similar to the Ford Explorer, which isn’t bad. However, TheCarConnection.com team thinks it’s about time that Ford get a new corporate radio designed. Some drivers also complained about the door handles and the lack of a grab space making it hard to close the heavy doors. (This is something you’ll want to consider if you go for a test drive.) The quality of the interior, including materials and fit/finish, is passable.

The Sport Trac was completely reengineered and redesigned in 2007, so 2008 is what marketing types call a carryover year. In other words, there’s not much new compared to 2007. But for Ford, 2008 is the year the Sport Trac gets an extra helping of electronics. Voice activation is now available for the optional navigation system. Ford’s SYNC hands-free in-car communications and entertainment system is also optional.

Ford bolstered the 2008 Sport Trac’s standard feature list with side curtain airbags. These now supplement the standard front and side airbags. A very effective stability control system with an anti-roll program is also standard. The Sport Trac performed well in government crash tests.

The editors at TheCarConnection.com aren’t too fond of the aging twins from General Motors, the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. Their five-cylinder engines never had the power or refinement to endear themselves to our experts. The Dodge Dakota is much improved for 2008, and its longer traditional steel bed might be an advantage for some buyers.

Honda’s Ridgeline is an interesting alternative, as it’s a toughened car-based crossover. The Ridgeline drives better than the Sport Trac, but lacks the Ford’s heavy-duty capabilities in terms of hauling, towing, and off-road capabilities.

The Nissan and Toyota mid-size trucks are not earth-shattering in terms of performance or versatility, but they are worth a look, as they provide nearly even competition to the 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac in most every area of consideration.

2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Adrenaline Review: Paving the Path

Powered by a choice of either a 210-hp 4.0L V6 or burlier 292-hp 4.6L V8, Ford’s 5-passenger Sport Trac paved the way the Sport Utility Truck.

Introduced in 2001, the Explorer Sport Trac pickup paved the way for a new segment of vehicles—the sport utility truck. Ford describes their SUT as “the best of both worlds” taking attributes from both the F-150 pickup and the Explorer SUV.

A V8-powered mid-size Ford pickup with the sporty Adrenalin package

Available only as a 5-passenger, 4-door crew cab pickup, the Sport Trac comes in two main trims: the XLT or Limited, with a standard 210-hp 4.0L V6 with 5-speed automatic, or an optional 292-hp 4.6L V8 with 6-speed automatic transmission.

But if these two offerings don’t fit the bill, check out the Adrenalin package—essentially the Limited series that has undergone a major cosmetic facelift with a beefier and much sportier persona. Additions including 20” polished aluminum wheels with P255/50R20 Pirelli tires; new tailgate and floor mats both with Adrenalin logo; body-coloured side mirrors; dual-tip exhaust; and a reworked front grill in a black gloss, to name a few.

Two weeks with my tester, I enjoyed every minute. Thought I came across many Sport Trac pickups on the road, none of them in the Adrenalin form available at a $42,499 base price, I found myself asking: who is Ford targeting here?
Would the potential Sport Trac consumer be willing to fork out the extra cash for an AWD (rear-wheel is standard, all-wheel is optional and equipped on my tester) with no additional towing capacity or increased performance?

And if Ford is targeting the weekend-warrior who dig the cosmetic upgrades and AWD, would these metro-sexuals be willing to trade in their sports coupes or Land Rovers for a pickup, or perhaps choose the Explorer SUV all together?

Regardless what group Ford is targeting, and whether you pluck your eyebrows or just like hauling stuff around for fun, the Sport Trac Adrenalin is a well-styled, performance-driven, utility focused pickup that offers comfort and luxury.

Rugged and aggressive yet sleek and sporty

For 2008, the Sport Trac finds more standard features including: a power rear window; fog lamps; leather wrapped steering wheel; increased storage; side-curtain driver/passenger airbags; and side step bars.

The overall styling is rugged and aggressive yet sleek and sporty. Though not as futuristic and bubbly as the Adrenalin-concept vehicle unveiled at the 2005 New York Auto Show (going up for auction in 2020), the common-folk production version is just as dramatic—huge, beefy front end with a gloss black grill and colour-matched hatching inside; side vents that serve no functional purpose but look cool; rolled-out fenders that provide a wider, meaner stance whilst housing 20” in-your-face wheels.

Lowered fascias, chucky running boards, and restyled body panels provide the Adrenalin with a low sitting, cruiser appearance.

Suspension and handling built for the streets (not off-road adventures)

The Sport Trac borrows the independent suspension from the Explorer so the ride is smooth. Steering is responsive while the low-profile tires add to greater handling. Power hydraulic 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS are standard on all three trims. But leave the rock-climbing to your other truck; the Adrenalin is meant for the streets only.

Explorer Sport Trac Adrenaline with V8 tows a respectable 6,800 pounds

The 4.0-litre V6 produces 210-hp and 254 lb-ft of torque, delivering 2,413 kg of towing capacity (1450 lbs of payload). The 4.6-litre V8 puts down 292-hp and offers a maximum 6,800 lbs of towing capacity (1,390 lbs of payload).

The 4.5-foot cargo box is lined with a composite corrosion-proof lining providing greater durability while three integrated cargo bins are recessed into the bed of the truck for additional storage. With the tailgate down, a bed extender cage provides an extra 170-litre (6 cu. Ft) of cargo to the 1062-litre already available.

Explorer Sport Trac Adrenaline interior

The overall feel inside is very clean and refined—charcoal black leather; a smart, unobtrusive centre console with a few touches of chrome; and a minimalist instrument panel with a two straightforward white gauges (turn black at night) and small display screen nestled in-between.

The 5-passenger cabin is roomy and comfortable. Standard to the Adrenalin are leather trimmed (with leather perforated leather inserts) sport bucket seats up front (10-way power driver, 4-way manual passenger) and a rear 60/40 bench also leather trimmed.

Standard audio includes an AM/FM single CD/MP3, and an audio input jack. My tester came with optional SIRIUS satellite radio and the Navigation System with voice-activation, AM/FM 6-CD/MP3 player with in-dash changer and subwoofer.

Also standard is the Sync voice-activation system by Microsoft—a hands-free environment allowing most Bluetooth device and iPod/media player functionality integrated into the communication and entertainment system.

Takeaway: a Sport Trac XLT or Limited to the next level

Overall, the Sport Trac Adrenalin is a gorgeous vehicle with roomy and refined interior, bad-ass styling and attitude, ample cargo, to name a few. Now, Ford just needs to send the Adrenalin to their performance division, SVT, to rework the engine and produce some serious power. Balance the ‘show’ with the ‘go’ and Adrenalin would undoubtedly prove to be the best of both worlds.
