Ford used the Thailand International Motor Expo in Bangkok to unveil a new pickup concept dubbed 4-Trac. The truck aims to stay true to the ‘Built Ford Tough’ promise while also offering a degree of sophistication. One of the most noteworthy design features is the “tailgate within a tailgate,” which inner and outer sections operating together or independently: the outer body-color section folds down to the ground, acting as a ramp; the inner aluminum section folds 90 degrees for ease of loading and unloading. Some observes believe the 4-Trac is the basis for the forthcoming 2007 Sport Trac, while others feel it’s the basis for the next Ranger. Yesterday, we noted that Ford was working on a replacement to the Explorer Sport Trac pickup. The new truck is said to be based on the 2006 Explorer platform, and offer independent rear suspension for the first time. Read on to see more photos…
