Only a facelift, but it is also supposed to have a fair number of structural updates, and a new interior (no doubt identical to that found in the new Mountaineer).
I don't like the new exterior look myself, the new Sport Trac looked better, and the vehicles do look somewhat similar.
My computers being a pain in the ass, but from what I can tell, it's not necessarily bad but it would be cooler if it resembled the Sport Trac more, and I prefer the current look as well.

The headlights look like the little circles were just tacked on, leaves it looking kindof funny. The tailights aren't very attractive. They probably should have left them the way they were.
