  07 V8 Sport Trac - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By T. Clark - December 31 - 7:26 pm

  Fun to drive, and stylish. Not terrible gas mileage for this type of vehicle. With the addition of Dynomax exhaust you can realize more low end grunt, slightly better mileage and a pure performance sound. Interior is very comfortable once you get used to the low slung door handles. Entrance can be tricky if your over 6 however. The 6 speed auto needs work to be considered a performance transmission. Fly by wire system is what it is I suppose, although I would trade it for cables in a heartbeat.

  I like a lot, but - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By ScriberDF - December 13 - 1:46 am

  All things equal, I like this truck a lot. It does what I wanted it to do, and 21 mpg on the highway is slightly better than what I thought Id get. Power is good, comfort is good, not great (cloth seats). However, there are a couple things Im a little irritated by: The tailgate has literally come off in my hands four times in the past year, and Im told "thats the way it was designed," to come off easily so it could be replaced with the tailgates that allow air to flow through (dont know the term for them). Thats fine, but this is very, very poorly thought out. The tailgate should not accidentally come off; there should be a latch or other device that needs to be disabled first.

  Love My Sportrac - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By dhcody - December 1 - 10:03 pm

  Read these reviews and had to have a Sportrac. I have 3k miles on the truck and I get 17.8 mpg with the 6cyl in town. Drives like a sports car yet is smooth as a big car on the road. No complaints in Houston heat with air conditioner as others have mentioned. A must is the rear slide window and electric front seat. Spend a little extra for the Limited it makes for great curb appeal. I also got the electronics package with audio and a/c controls in the stearing wheel. Nice extra. The back up alarm is a nice feature to keep you from running into something or someone. Overall I am well pleased, guess time will tell about maintenance problems. I would have to rate this one a 9.5 plus.

  Great secret model at Ford - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By David - November 7 - 11:00 am

  Had to have a v8 and wife wanted this truck. It been rock solid as terms of reliability. I am large guy and takes some time to find a comfortable driving position. Interior is my only complaint. Hard plastic scratches easily and hard to keep clean. Handling is better than any truck I owned this is due to independent rear. Have every option but leather. Sound system is great. Some are complaining about mpg. We are getting 18.5 in combine driving of city and highway. On long highway trips we are getting 23 on average. Ford stand behind their warranty and had no issue when small issues came up. See below.

  You MUST test drive this truck! - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By Jim Russell - October 14 - 3:46 pm

  All I can say every time I get inside and drive is "WOW"! Great ride, great handling, very quiet, sweet engine, 6-speed automatic behaves very well. Please, if you are testing Tacoma, Frontier, Ridgeline, try this truck. Get the V-8. Ive always been a Toyota guy, but Ford has really done a great job with this one. Its nicer than the F-150, which is by far the best full size pickup. 292 horsepower, fully boxed truck frame, fully independent rear suspension, and it rides like a luxury car on the highway!

  1st Ford in 20 years - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By Redman - September 14 - 5:53 pm

  I have not bought a Ford in 20 years. This is a homerun because I use it for hunting and fishing, wet dogs and all. With dogs and all on outside, comfort is inside. Features are fine for price paid. 20K miles and no problems.

  Great Truck For The Money - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By Grego - June 9 - 9:03 pm

  This is a great truck in a mid-size. Not as big as the F150 and still packs a punch with the V8. I have a boat that I trailer around all the time with no problems. The inside is roomy and comfortable and the amount of plastic used is minimal which gives the truck a rattle-free ride and a nice luxury feel. The exterior styling is functional (no non-functional hood scoop) and still looks tough and not "girly" like the Tacoma or Frontier.

  Nice Ride - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By Ford Fan - May 5 - 10:46 pm

  Over 5500 miles on my Sport Trac, really enjoying it. Had a problem with a soft brake pedal, but the dealer has since fixed it. The v8 engine and 6 speed transmission work well, I have towed my 4000 lb travel trailer over 2000 miles, lots of power in the mountains. Fuel economy - only 9.5mpg towing, but my last tank unloaded on the highway (60-75mph) lasted 415 miles, for 19.88 mpg. I recommend this truck.

  Great truck @ great price.... - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By aparrothead888 - April 30 - 8:40 pm

  I really love this car. I had been wanting to get this car for the past year. After someone hitting me in the end of 2006, I was then willing to buy one if I could get a good price. I got a FULLY loaded Limited for $26,000 with tax and all other junk! About $7500 off MSRP! I really love the truck now.

  2007 Sport Trac - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  By Good truck; BUT - December 28 - 10:56 pm

  I owned a 2003 Sport Trac for 5 years, love the truck. Cant think of one bad thing. In 2007 when Ford came out with the V-8 engine, I though wow that will be great. So I purchase one with the V-8 engine, and I love everything about the V-8, love that power. But on my Sport Trac V-8 engine, if you let is sit for a day or two, when you start the engine, it will burn oil and blue smoke like a dog. Had it in the shop a few times, of course the computer has everything good. I believe it is valve guild seals, and of course Ford do not want to open the engine, as I dont want a new truck that someone had to do engine work on it.
