Question:
I am looking for a Ford explorer sports Trac tent/camp canopy. The only product I can find for this model is an SUV tent. It is a 2003 model dual cab.

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. These tents use the roof rack and the ladder for support and get you off the ground for a fun camping experience.
A final option is to ditch the vehicle aspect and use a simple to transport and setup tent. For this I recommend the Kelty Wireless Camping Tent - 2 Person - 29 sq ft # KE29TR. Its dimensions are 7' 2" long x 4' 1-1/2" wide x 3' 7" tall.
