The Ford Sport Trac Adrenalin is the world's first
high-performance sport-utility truck (SUT). We're looking to
take Ford performance to an entirely new market segment with
the Sport Trac Adrenalin," says Steve Lyons, vice president,
Ford Motor Company and president, Ford Division. "Adrenalin
is designed to offer a unique combination of performance and
functionality.
Adrenalin has combined the best attributes of two
breakthrough Ford vehicles - Ford SVT F-150 Lightning and
Ford Explorer Sport Trac. It also offers class-leading
technologies, including all-wheel drive, a six-speed
automatic transmission and Ford's industry-leading
AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™. It offers four
full-sized doors, four bolstered bucket seats, and a
four-foot composite box with 30 percent more cargo capacity
than the current Explorer Sport Trac.
"We have a very clear view of what we want to do to retain
Ford's leadership in performance vehicles," says Phil
Martens group vice president, Product Creation. "This
includes looking beyond traditional SVT products for
opportunities with unique performance attributes, such as
all-wheel-drive." The Sport Trac Adrenalin delivers searing
acceleration with its 4.6-liter, 32-valve DOHC V-8 power
train. A Roots-type supercharger and water-to-air
intercooler boost output to a whopping 390 horsepower and
390 pounds-feet of torque.
It has a six-speed automatic transmission - the first for
any SVT vehicle, which has proven capable of heavy-duty use,
contributing to the projected 6000-pound towing capacities
of the Sport Trac Adrenalin. "In addition to providing sure
footing on slick surfaces, there's a performance advantage
to all-wheel drive," says Jay O'Connell, SVT chief vehicle
engineer. "A longstanding problem with performance trucks
was their inability to 'hook up' from a standing start
without excessive wheel spin. This AWD system puts power
down through all four tires, helping Adrenalin launch with
impressive authority."
With a supercharged, 390-horsepower V-8, the first six-speed
automatic ever featured in an SVT vehicle and an SVT-tuned
fully independent suspension, Adrenalin promises
acceleration, agility and utility. Providing an added
measure of safety and control during slippery conditions or
emergency maneuvers all-wheel-drive system is paired with
Ford's industry-exclusive safety system, AdvanceTrac® with
Roll Stability Control™.
