The current Ford Explorer Sport Trac is 210.2″ long, 73.6″ wide, on a 130.3″ wheelbase, weighing 4,568 lb. Since 2004 it has grown 2% in length and gained 8% in weight. At 17.5 feet it fits a standard garage and overhangs a street parking space.
Every Ford Explorer Sport Trac generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2004–2005 | 205.9″ | 74″ | 70.1″ | 126″ | 4,244 lb |
| 2007–2010 | 210.2″ | 73.6″ | 72″ | 130.3″ | 4,568 lb |
From 2004 to today the Explorer Sport Trac gained 4.3″ of length (2%) and 324 lb of weight (8%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.
Explorer Sport Trac year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 6 years on record. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.
| Model year | Length | Width | Wheelbase | Curb weight | Body styles |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2010 | 210.2″ | 73.6″ | 130.3″ | 1 | |
| 2009 | 210.2″ | 73.6″ | 130.3″ | 2 | |
| 2008 | 210.2″ | 73.6″ | 130.3″ | 2 | |
| 2007 | 210.2″ | 73.6″ | 130.3″ | 2 | |
| 2005 | 205.9″ | 74″ | 126″ | 2 | |
| 2004 | 205.9″ | 74″ | 126″ | 2 |
Will a Explorer Sport Trac fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 17.5 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 17.5 ft | Overhangs — expect a tight squeeze |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 6.1 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 366 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 73.6″ | 76″ | -2.4″ |
| Wheelbase | 130.3″ | 120.9″ | +9.4″ |
| Curb weight | 4,568 lb | 4,451 lb | 117 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
