Expert Answers about Ford Explorer Sport Trac


  • Parts Needed to Convert 5-Pole Vehicle Wiring to 7-Way
  • 4-pole trailer wiring carries only stop/turn/tail light signals. 5-pole wiring can be configured in several ways, with the additional circuit handing either a reverse light signal (for a trailer coupler that has an electric lockout), for 12V auxiliary trailer power to maintain a trailer battery or for a trailer brake circuit. You can refer to the linked article for more on the various types of trailer connectors and wiring setups. Your best bet is to install a 7-way on the Explorer so...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • I took a look at the online owner's manual for a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and it what it said was that only rear-wheel drive options can be flat towed, and if going over 35 mph and/or 50 miles in distance, to do this you must disconnect the driveshaft. Having said that, I highly recommend checking with Ford to see if anything has changed since the owner's manual was released to verify any type of compatibility as they would be the ones with the final say. If you do find that your...

  • Magnetic Oil and Transmission Pan Heater for Use on a 2008 Chevrolet Diesel Truck
  • The Kat's Heaters magnetic heater that you would use on your 2008 Chevy truck is the Handi-Heat Magnum # KH1190. It's designed to heat an area up to 20 square inches and is made for larger trucks. It does include a thermostat to automatically shut off when it reaches 275 degrees Farhrenheit. 275 degrees does sound extremely hot. However, since the heater has to compete with external temperatures (Which are going to be quite cold or the heater wouldn't be necessary) plus transfer heat...

  • Plug-In Brake Controller for a 2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Adrenalin
  • Yes we do! I recommend going with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 brake controller as it is very easy to setup and use. The LCD screen makes changing settings very easy and readable. This will simply plug in the connector on your 2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Adrenalin that you took a picture of using the Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3035-P. If your Sport Trac already has a 7-Way connector at the rear then you are good to go! I attached a video of this controller being installed on a 2016...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller in a 2001 Ford Sport Trac with 7-Way or 4-Way
  • There isn't a brake controller wiring harness for the 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. A brake controller will need to be hardwired in. If the vehicle already has a 7-Way trailer connector then all you will need is # 5506. But if it has a 4-Way flat connector only then you will need # ETBC7. I have included some links that show and explain the hardwire installations.

  • Towing Mirrors Recommended for a 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Adrenalin
  • We have some towing mirrors that will likely fity your 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Adrenalin but unfortunately none of them are custom fit. Take a look at the video I've attached of part # 11953-2 being tested on a 2010 Ford Explorer. I'm fairly sure it has the same mirrors as your Sport Trac. This clip-on mirror fits on most mirrors that are from 7 to 10 inches tall.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2001 Ford Sport Trac Automatic Behind a Winnebago Adventurer
  • We have everything you need to flat tow your 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac behind your Winnebago Adventurer, but before attempting to tow I strongly recommend checking your owners manual before proceeding. From what I could find, the 4WD models with the electronic shift transfer case and automatic transmission cannot be flat towed. Ford also has distance and speed restrictions when flat towing this vehicle. To flat tow your 2001 Ford Sport Trac Automatic behind your Winnebago Adventurer...

  • 7-Way Trailer Wiring Connector to Reach 6 Feet from Junction Box to Vehicle
  • Stretching the 7-Way Trailer Connector # WG54006-043 to 6 feet isn't the best option for you. It'll reach 6 feet but the coils are fairly tight. I extended it easily to about 4 feet but beyond that it wanted to fight me. It'll loosen up over time of course but I think a longer cable would be better for you. The 12 foot, part # WG54006-046, is a better choice, but then it'll hang lower to the ground.

  • Parts Needed to Install 5-Pole Round Trailer Socket on Hitch Tube on 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • Some trailer hitches do include a mounting bracket for trailer wiring but these are also available separately and they can be installed in places other than on the hitch itself. The two hitches we offer for your 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac are both 2-inch Class III types that are displayed on the linked page. Neither has a wiring harness bracket. To install a 5-way round socket like # PK11502 on the hitch tube you can use bracket # RM-910030-5 along with bracket extension # C57202.

  • Tow Bar Wiring Options for a 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • There are a few different options of wiring that you can use for the lights when flat towing your 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. The Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit # RM-152-LED is a great option that remains permanently installed on your vehicle but it does require you to drill 1" holes in your tail light housing. If you go this route then you also need to install the Brake-Lite Relay Kit # RM-88400. For a less invasive lighting kit you can use the Optronics Magnetic Tow Lights # TL21RK....

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with Brakes Using a 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • For the Class III trailer hitch receiver I suggest the Draw-Tite # 75112. This is a custom fit 2 inch hitch receiver that will fit your 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. The B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS10037B is a great adjustable ball mount that provides either 5 inches of drop or 5-1/2 inches of rise. It will also store under the hitch when not in use. Use locking hitch pin # BX8858 or standard pin and clip # PC3. If the Tow & Stow doesn't work with your setup I've linked our selection of...
