Saw a 2007 Explorer Sport Trac

I was in Louisville, KY on I-64. I came up behind it, I new it was a Sport Trac from the distance, but I thought something looks odd about this one. As I got closer it started to look strange the tail-gate was really tall, like the F-150. Then it hit me, this is the new Sport-Trac, I sped up to get along side of it. I got nice look at it from the back to the side, it looks really, really good......for a Ford. (Sorry I didn't get any pics., went off and left my cell at home) I've always been a fan of the Sport Trac pkg, except for one thing, I never could get over the generic Explorer front end. I always thought the Sport Trac should have a more aggressively styled front end treatment.
Anyways the new Sport Trac will be a nice pkg. with the optional 292hp V8, and then the forthcoming Sport Trac SVT should look really nice.

Its probably not really big surprise seeing one of these in Louisville, since they are built there. More than likely it was a Ford exec driving a pre-production model, and they are probably all over Louisville. Kind of like how Corvette C6s were all over Bowling Green, before they went on sale. I read somewhere that the new Sport Trac will be available in Feb.

They should either be ready for sale or Job1 will be in Feburary. Ive seen a black one a month or so ago here in Michigan. Its LONG. But with the amount of chrome it has, It was pretty sharp.
