Built on a lengthened Ford Explorer chassis, the Sport Trac was constructed using parts from three Ford vehicles, with the addition of model-specific pickup truck bed.
Sharing the front fascia and fenders with the two-door Explorer Sport, the four-door cab was constructed from the four-door Ford Explorer (with modified rear doors).
Designed specifically for the Sport Trac, the 50-inch long pickup bed was constructed entirely of plastic composite material; the tailgate was shared with the Ford F-150 SuperCrew.
To add additional load space for the shortened pickup bed, Ford offered a metal load extender to be used with the tailgate.
Another option included a removable hard plastic tonneau cover for the pickup bed.
  
Sharing its interior with the two-door and four-door Explorer (which shared much of its dashboard with the Ranger), the Sport Trac retained the fold-down rear seats of the four-door Explorer to expand storage space.
A full rubber floor was standard (as in base-trim pickup trucks), with berber-style carpet floor mats.
The Sport Trac was configured with a power-retractable "Breezeway" rear window (a feature last used by Ford on the 1965 Mercury line) in place of a sliding rear window.
  
During 2002, several changes were made to the exterior badging, with "Explorer" removed from the doors and "Sport Trac" (on the tailgate) changed to chrome, from red/white plastic.
In another revision, the B-pillars were changed from black to body-colored.
For 2004, the gray bumpers and side skirts were darkened in color; a new option offered body-color bumpers and side skirts.
