DEARBORN, Mich., Mar. 16, 2006 - The all-new 2007 Ford Sport Trac has earned the government's highest five star crash test ratings for frontal and side impacts for drivers and passengers. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), achieving the best available crash test rating reflects a vehicle's ability to reduce the likelihood of injuries and fatalities when accidents occur.

"We're pleased that NHTSA has recognized the new Sport Trac with its highest possible crash test ratings," says Sue Cischke, vice president, Environmental and Safety Engineering. "In addition to more refinement and increased capability, the all-new model offers a new package of advanced safety features."

With 10 advanced safety innovations as standard equipment, the Sport Trac offers the most active and passive safety features in its class. Four of these are new adaptive technologies specifically designed for Ford's stringent internal safety targets.

"The 2007 Sport Trac offers the same impressive suite of safety features as the 2006 Explorer," says Cischke. "It offers active safety technology – including confidence-inspiring handling and braking combined with AdvanceTrac® with industry-exclusive Roll Stability Control (RSC®) – to help prevent accidents. In the case of an accident, the new Sport Trac offers enhanced rollover side-impact protection, and four new adaptive safety technologies that help tailor frontal-impact protection based on crash severity, occupant size and safety belt usage."

"Ford Motor Company is building on a legacy of introducing industry-first safety technologies, with a comprehensive approach to help drivers avoid dangerous situations and help provide increased protection in accidents," says Cischke. ....
