Will a Explorer Sport Trac fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search, and for a 17.5-foot Ford Explorer Sport Trac it has a straight answer. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep and a street parking space about 18, so the Explorer Sport Trac clears the garage by 1.5 ft. 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. At 4,568 lb the Ford Explorer Sport Trac is 117 lb heavier than typical for its size, which generally shows up as fuel economy and stopping distance.

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, 6 measured model years for the Ford Explorer Sport Trac between 2004 and 2010.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and the Ford Explorer Sport Trac fits into 2 rows instead of 6. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation of the Ford Explorer Sport Trac.
