You may still be able to buy at least one of the styles from Ford, but they are expensive. Adrenalin didn’t have roof rails. I think XLT were all black and Limited are black/chrome. There’s also a “silver sparkle” mentioned on parts sites.
I’d check Ford Parts Giant to get part numbers and then search eBay and www.rearcounter.com. Ford Parts Giant lists them as being available, but I don’t think you can trust that. Sometimes you’ll find the on the Facebook Sport Trac groups or Facebook marketplace. You can also try https://www.car-part.com/, but I’ve had mixed luck getting responses from the parts dealers on there.
There’s a set on eBay now with cross bars for $192 U.S. https://www.ebay.com/itm/06-10-Ford...607281?hash=item2641cb6a31:g:DnwAAOSwQqpfIZE6. They look silver in the photos.
Last, if you’re not in a real hurry I may have a set of the chrome ones available in the next month or two. I have to swap them out for some black ones I bought first, and I don’t know when I’ll get around to it.

The STA was considered custom more than utility...

Agreed. Ford wanted the STA to look like a more sleek street truck.

yup.
So it's nothing like " the sunroof interferes with bolt placement" or whatever. Ok.
I'd love to install the rails, I already have a rack system that would work with the rails, and then I would build a steel frame that mounts to the bed extender pins. With this setup I could for example get a 4x8 sheet of plywood on the roof when I needed to.
Then remove the frame from the box and replace the tonneau cover for normal day to day stuff.
Thank you for the responses here. I appreciate you guys

Cully, if you do the project. You will have to get a good seal on the roof inserts.
Not familiar with the gen 2 rail mounts. I removed my gen 1 rails. Ford used some sort of sealed female threaded inserts. That are sealed from moisture and do not turn in the punched holes in the roof sheet metal. My guess is they are installed under some type of compression. I never have dropped my headliner, to see the other side.
I just thought I would toss this info in this thread. For those considering removing rails.
What I did was found some plastic body inserts. I used RTV to glue them in the threaded holes. Then used touch up paint to color them.

Nothing interfears, Ford just didnt install them on the Adren for looks.
I know of 3 people that did install them on Adrens. have a body shop, or if you have a nutsert tool, thats the factory way of doing it for strength and access to get a bolt in there.
When I removed them on my black truck, I just painted the screws black and re inserted with sillicone for a seal..... Good for 3 years now.
