  07 Sport Trac, So Far So Good - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By jbodine - May 16 - 7:30 pm

  Bought my truck just this past Saturday and already have 500 miles on it. I really like it. My gas mileage is averaging around 16.5 or 17 right now but Im hoping that gets a little better as it breaks in and I get more used to driving it. Its already better mileage than the Dakota I was driving. The bed is small, but my dirt bike does fit which was a must for me. The V8 engine sounds good and runs smooth, but I havent really stressed it yet. The drivers seat fits me well -- Im kind of wide at roughly 240lbs. It has Sirius satellite radio, but I will be adding an iPod adapter soon. The radio sounds really good with the subwoofer behind the back seat.

  Not bad, no complaints - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By dn010 - March 22 - 1:35 am

  I purchased a V6 XLT 2X4 in 2010 used from a dealer with 56K, I am now at about 87K. Issues Ive experienced: one rear wheel bearing went bad, replaced for about $75 doing the work myself, also had check engine light for engine under-heating, replaced stuck open thermostat myself and turned off the light with my code reader - good to go. Ive put in new rear brake pads only, spark plugs, I keep the engine happy with full synthetic. I drive to NY from FL yearly, gone up and back twice (over 2400 miles each trip) and have had no problems. I can TOW my 25 cuddy boat @ 4K lbs and my 18 boat @ around 2500 - can pull the 18 out of the water, havent tried with the 25 and I doubt I will.

  My SportTrac - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By Jerry - October 29 - 6:40 am

  Researched all lines of truck like this and found the SportTrac the best looking and functional fit. The complete redesign for 2007 puts it way ahead of the competition. Recommend trying and deciding for yourself instead of heeding the biased reviews given domestic cars and trucks today. Go Ford!

  Love it - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By zolman - November 5 - 6:26 am

  It was the only truck that would fit into my garage, have the capacity to tow my trailers, fit 5 people and have all the interior refinements I wanted. I get between 22-24 MPG highway driving so thats better then what it is rated at.

  Cant Tow a thing with this vehicle - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By Bogeymstr - October 17 - 5:06 pm

  I purchased this "redesigned" vehicle as it was the perfect vehicle to tow the 17 fishing boat and the still have room for the kids. I recently went to rent a smae 6x12 enclosed trailer to do some moving. Much to my surprise this National company refused to rent me the trailer citing that "the vehicle is a high rollover risk when towing". I checked with my insurance company and verified that the vehicle was at high risk for roll over when towing, in fact they want to triple my premium no that I broght it to thiier attention. Needless to say I am exploring either Lemon Law remedy or at least consumer fraud.....This vehicle seems to have become a bad buy!

  Different! - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By FYFFE7 - August 21 - 3:20 am

  Cool SUT. Ford Sport Trac won over the Honda with the funky door handles and truck like interior. Toyota cant even put cruse controls on the steering wheel. Replaced the air box with an air intake and acceleration is fantastic on the V8. Mileage city 14- 17 depending how you drive. HIway is 19-28 again depending how you drive. Interior matches the Ford Explorer which is nice. Door hands are different and very easy to use. Ride and comfort are as good as the best SUV on the market. Grab handle for passenger could be higher. Overall an SUT that can do it all.

  Great Truck - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By FordFan76 - July 17 - 9:20 pm

  My wife has a 2002 Explorer which we love. The newly redesigned Explorer and Sport Trac are even better. My truck is quieter, safer, and slightly better on gas. It is also a great compromise for people who dont want a full size truck but still want the capabilities of one. The only problem I have experienced so far was a jerky transmission, which was fixed under warranty by adjusting the computer settings. Some improvements: needs more cushioning in the steering wheel. I drive two hours to work and I find my hands getting sore frequently. Put the shifter back on the column. It isnt as "cool" but you have a lot more space on the center console.

  Quality Sport Trac - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By Steve D. - June 10 - 5:06 pm

  The 2007 Limited has a lot of nice features that distinguish it from the XLT. The quality, ride, handling, and comfort are more than expected. The truck is solid and have experienced no issues at all since driving it off the lot. A real winner!

  Its a fine ride. - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By WT - April 27 - 7:00 am

  Have only owned this vehicle for a few weeks. But, it is so similar to my wifes 06 Explorer I had a pretty good handle on the rig before purchase. It handles very well and gives a quiet, comfortable ride. The steering and suspension systems feel positive on turns with no lean or sway. Mine has the 4.0L engine and it does not lack for power. It pulled my utility trailer with ATV aboard easily. Is the Sport Trac really a truck? Well ... maybe, sort of, I guess, but you wont realize it until you look in the rear view mirror. It is a very pleasing step up from my trade in, an 04 Ranger FX4. The five star crash test rating was a plus.

  My Dream Truck - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By Paula - January 27 - 1:50 am

  I really love this truck. It drives really nice and not too bad on gas. Its really great to move things and just to drive around town too.I did my homework on this truck before I bought it. The 2007 model is on the Explorer frame, instead of the Ranger frame and that makes a big difference.
