  • Which Tailgate Pad Bike Rack Fits a 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • The Softride Tailgate Pad, # SR26461, for mid size trucks is probably going to be the best option. It measures 54 inches long so compare that to the tailgate on your 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac to determine fit. The model for a full size truck, # SR26457, is 61 inches long. Thule also has a similar product, # TH823PRO for a 54 inch or # TH824PRO for a 62 inch. All of these items work in basically the same way. They fit over the tailgate, have a flap for the tailgate handle. They strap...

  • Installing Trailer Brake Controller on 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • I am not sure of the particular video you are referring to, but if your 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac is equipped with the 7-Way connector, then installing a trailer brake controller is a simple, plug-and-play installation. For this application, you will only need the Plug-In Adapter # 3035-P to install a Tekonsha brake controller like the excellent Prodigy P3 # 90195 (which is what I recommend when you are ready for the install). One end of the adapter will plug right into the brake controller,...

  • Brake Controller and Wiring Recommendation for a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • Unlike some other vehicles, such as the Ford F150, there is not a port under the dash of your 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac that you could simply plug into and have a brake controller ready to go. If you are going to be installing a brake controller and the 7-Way plug at the same time, I would recommend getting the brake controller installation kit # ETBC7, which includes everything you will need to complete the installation. I included instructions for the # ETBC7 as well as a video...

  • Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • The most popular towing mirror option for your 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac is the # CM11980, which clips onto stock mirrors that have a lip or gap between the glass and mirror housing. I have included a link to a video review of this mirror for you. These mirrors are very stable, are easy to install, and will last a long time which is why I recommended them for you. The mirrors you mentioned are for taller mirrors so they would not work for you.

  • Adding a Brake Controller And 7-Way Trailer Connector To 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac With 4-Way
  • I have linked a video below to an installation that we did on a 2004 Ford Explorer.

To complete the installation you will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 for the correct wiring and connectors.

  • Recommended Tent for 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • For your 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, the Rightline Truck Bed Tent - Waterproof - Sleeps 2 - For 5' Mid-Size Short Bed # RL110765 will be too big for the 4.2 foot bed of your Sport Trac. Another option is to use a roof rack consisting of Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 abd Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401. Then adding locks # TH450400. Utilizing a roof rack you can use the Yakima SkyRise Tent for Roof Rack Crossbars - 3 Person - 600 lbs # Y07437 or 2 Person- 400 lb # Y07436....

  • Brake Controller and 7-Way Recommendation for 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • We can help with the wiring and brake controller but there are no aftermarket hitches that fit your 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. To convert your 4-way to a 7-way you'd want the # ETBC7 which comes with everything needed to install a brake controller and convert to a 7-way. Then for a brake controller the Tekonsha Brake EVN part # TK63VR would be what you'd want. This is a great controller that is proportionally activated with your vehicle brake intensity, is easy to use, and also priced...

  • Bed Extender Recommendation for a 2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Adrenalin
  • I reccomend the Curt # C57WR Universal Truck Bed Exender which will fit nearly all full size pickup trucks including Chevrolet, GMC, Ford, Dodge, Ram, and Nissan, with standard 60" wide tail gates. (6.5 foot and longer beds) and provide 26-1/2 inches of additional bed length for storage and hauling. May not work with flare-style tailgates. Compatible with most tonneau covers. I would check that measurement before ordering.

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation for 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • The towing mirror I would recommend is the K-Source part # KS3891. This universal mirror is our best selling mirror because of how stabile it is and how universal it is. It would be a great option. I attached a review video that shows the mirrors installed on a similar Explorer as yours as well.

  • Brake Controller and Install Wiring Recommendation for 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • Test the pins of the connector you found with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993. If you find that one of the pins has voltage when the brakes are applied and the other is hot all the time the # 3035-P will fit and work well. The blue wire would need to be ran back to the blue wire of the adapter part # 37185 to complete the circuit there though. If there isn't voltage there then you would need to instead use the part # ETBC7 which converts the 4-way to a 7-way and comes with all of...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • For your 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac we have the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 474-1 which is a confirmed fit. It does not attach to the stock tow brackets though. Since your vehicle is a 2005 that means there will be some frame drilling to install this kit. Check out the attached install instructions for more info on that. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular...

  • Recommended Wiring and Trailer Brake Controller for 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  • If your 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac has the factory 4-Way flat installed, you will need to use the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7. This kit includes everything needed to install a fully functional 7-Way from your existing 4-Way, along with the additional wiring needed for a trailer brake controller. I have attached a great article that details the installation steps for this kit and a video on your 2003 Explorer Sport Trac that you can use for reference. With the 7-Way connector installed,...

  • 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Trailer Hitch Options
  • Unfortunately they have not made a hitch for your 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. This is similar to a situation we have with newer Suburban and Yukon models. Since all of the models come factory with a 2" hitch installed the aftermarket manufacturers just don't produce any because there really isn't any demand in most cases. I do understand wanting to get all out of your rig that it has to offer. With it having a stated 7,100 lb. towing capacity from the manufacturer it is likely the hitch...
