<P> The Ford Explorer Sport Trac , sometimes referred to as simply the Ford Sport Trac , is a mid-size pickup truck sold mostly in North America produced by Ford from 2000 through 2010 . The Sport Trac was based on the Ford Explorer SUV - not based on the compact Ford Ranger ( North America ) - because it was introduced when the Explorer and Ranger platforms diverged ( Explorer 's chassis was a heavy duty variant of the Ranger 's ) . The Sport Trac fell between the Ranger and Ford F - Series in Ford 's truck lineup , based on capability and price . It competed with other mid-size trucks and SUVs , such as the mid-size Honda Ridgeline and even the larger full - size Chevrolet Avalanche . During its first year on sale in the U.S. , there was a waiting list of over 3 months . The Sport Trac was a Class 2 vehicle with a GVWR of 6250 lbs. and a maximum GCWR of 12,000 lbs . This made it one of the more and the then most capable mid-size pickups , having a greater GVWR and GCWR than the Dodge Dakota , GM 's GMC Canyon / Chevrolet Colorado pickups and Toyota Tacoma . </P>
