Overview & Reviews
Returning after a one-year hiatus, the Ford Explorer Sport Trac has been fully redesigned for the 2007 model year.

- Roomy cabin, strong optional V8, hidden storage compartments, nice ride and handling balance.
- V8 can be thirsty, styling not for everyone, small cargo bed compared to traditional pickup trucks.

Problem Solver - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By SEVEREBEAGLE - May 27 - 11:40 amMy lease is finally over! I really enjoyed this wanna be truck, too bad the gas mileage was not great. 16 mpg on a good week of city driving. I wish the new 2009 was out but not at the dealer yet. Two things need to improve, the gas mileage and the small compartments in the bed should be waterproof and with locks of some kind. I am really gonna miss this one.

Great Vehicle - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By Delta One - May 11 - 1:36 pmExcellent truck for my needs. Carries 4 to 5 persons inside with excellent total comfort. Truck bed suits my needs, carries my dive equipment, bicycles, small furniture, plants and small trees. I would not use this vehicle for major hauling or construction work. Rides great on the road and very good on roads that are not paved. Since this one is 2 wheel drive, I have not taken it way off road. I purchased this vehicle after extensive research and test driving all similar types. Whether this truck will hold up as good as the foreign makes over the the long long haul, only time will tell.

07 Sportrac - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By Steve - May 9 - 7:30 amHave had the vehicle for a month now and am a big fan. Im 67" and have plenty of room inside. I have the V6, and power is acceptable although it is not the fastest around. Mileage has hovered around 19 mpg in the first 1200 miles in mixed driving I dont have any need to tow anything and the small bed accommodates my need to carry the occasional bulkier item. I did a lot of research prior to purchase, and this vehicle matched my needs at the price I wanted. The XLT Appearance package adds a nicer look with bigger wheels, etc. and is a fun ride.

Early Impressions - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By Jack - March 28 - 5:50 pmI was about to trade in my 98 F150 for an 06 F150 King Ranch when I read the write up on the Sport Trac. I test drove one and was hooked. I bought the Limited, 4wd V8 and after 2000+ miles am absolutely delighted. It is peppy, handles great, is extremely quiet and pulls my boat out of the lake with ease. The best thing (or possibly the worst) is my wife also loves to drive it. She very seldom drove the F150 but I cant keep her out of the Sport Trac. This is a real winner, dont test drive one unless you are really ready to buy a new vehicle.

Explorer Sport Trac does what I want. - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By Peter St. Amour - March 6 - 5:50 pmI am not really sure what the reviewers think they are driving, but my Sport Trac handles well both on the highway and off road. Road repair in my area is mostly bad and the Sport Trac handles all of it very well. Off road in the 4x4 Low setting and the V8 engine, it simply powers its way up what ever rut trail Ive traveled on. As for the cabin space, I am over 6 foot and I find quite roomy as does the rest of my family of four. It has excellent pickup for a truck its size from standing starts and it gives the power to pass with a full trailer load as well. I am very satisfied with my Sport Trac.

what an improvement - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By dave - February 10 - 7:06 amjust bought the new 07 Sport Trac-- what an improvement! This is our 4th one(01, 04, 05). The ride with the new frame and rear axle is vastly better. The V-8 gives more power and better mileage than the old V-6 with the 4.10 rear axle. We bought a loaded Limited model and were most impressed with the upgrades. Only possible criticism would be that the console mounted shifter takes away the small storage tray the old model had. Overfall a big upgrade for Ford.

Perfect Match - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By AP - December 11 - 5:16 amAs a previous 1997 Ranger owner, 2002 & 2003 Explorer owner and a 2004 F150 owner, I have to say the new SporTrac is the best of both worlds. If you are looking for the best combination of passenger room and a bed, the SportTrac is your best choice. Excellent handling, extremely comfortable and superb features make this my favorite Ford truck so far.

Had it a year, and still love it - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By Mrtwister - December 9 - 3:53 amGot rid of my TrailBlazer for this and got the way better deal. Build quality over GM is superior. Rides like an SUV, but I can pack 22 bags of leaves into the back. I drive 52 miles to work every day,

Love This Truck - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By wlbrez - November 26 - 1:30 pmI have had my truck for about 5 month & I love everything about it. I was brought up on Chevrolet but when I to buy my pick-up (yes I consider it a pick-up) I saw the Sport Trac, took a test drive & I was sold. It rides & handles like a dream. Plenty of room on the inside for my 6 foot plus two sons, extra storage space behind the rear seat plus hidden space in the bed. I have never been a Ford fan but now I am sold. The V-8 may not be the one of the best for gas mileage but it has plenty of get-up-and-go! If you are worried about that get a 6 cylinder. I really like the auto 4-wheel drive & the stability control. The window sticker is a lot lower than expected on a vehicle with this much wow.
