I noticed an itty bitty picture teasing the Sport Trac but the rendering looks nothing like the Sport Trac rendering.

Actuallu that picture is not miniature, it's just that the one you found was tiny. I have seen it much larger, and in multiple angles. It is in fact the Sport Trac, albeit widely stretched and in a darker lighting pattern.

However, it was widely known at NAIAS that the new Sport Trac is a huge indicator of what is to come from the Explorer family.

DETROIT -- The next-generation Ford Explorer Sport Trac will get a V8 engine, Ford Motor Co. COO Jim Padilla said.

The redesigned Sport Trac, Ford's SUV-pickup combo, will go on sale in 2006 after moving to an updated Ford Explorer platform. Ford exhibited a Sport Trac concept with a 4.6-liter V8 at the Detroit auto show.

The concept also hints at a wider, longer production Sport Trac with brawnier styling.
