Ford Explorer Sport Trac Questions and Answers
- 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, # TH823 for a 54 inch or # TH824 for a 62 inch.
And Yakima is a player in this game as well. They have the 54 inch model # Y02455 and a 62 inch model # Y02456.

If that checks out, you will need to examine the re

- Mounting Bracket for a 4-Way Trailer Connector on a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
- The trailer wiring for the 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, # 118344, can be secured to the trailer hitch using a bracket and mount for the 4-Way. I recommend the mounting bracket # 18144 with short arm # 18140 or long arm # 18136. The arms just clamp around the hitch and the mount attaches to the end of the arm. You do not want to drill into the hitch because it voids the warranty and can compromise the structural integrity of the hitch.

- Troubleshooting 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector on 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac

If the 4-pole connector is an aftermarket addition, trace each wire leading from the connector to ensure that they are still connected. If the trailer connector is factory installed, it might be a blown fuse. The fuses that protect the towing circuits are usually located under the hood, it is possible you missed t
