- 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.

Have you driven a Ford lately? - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By bankguy - November 5 - 3:16 amThis is my first Ford after years of GM and Honda. I must say that I like my Sport Trac better than my wifes Pilot. The drivers seating seems to have been designed for me. I am very comfortable driving this vehicle. Build quality is great and the vehicle is very tight. I have not had a single issue since I bought this truck. Gas mileage could be better - but it could be worse.

Ford owner - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By blawesppla - October 30 - 1:13 pmI am a large person and I am very comfortable in the truck. My wife says the same. Handles and runs great. Having trouble finding accessories for the 2007 Sport Trac. Every one tells me not for another 2 to 3 months.

New 07 - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By Dave Bransky - June 29 - 6:50 amTraded a 99 F-150 for this vehicle. So far I am very pleased with the Sport Trac. The Sport Trac has a glass smooth ride with outstanding handling, and the motor is extremely quiet. I am not really sure how the fuel mileage is going to be, I have only owned the truck for a week, but compared to the Triton 5.4, anything is better.

Nice Improvement - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By Eagle 16 - June 15 - 4:56 amI love the way my 07 Limited drives, I cant drive the vehicle enough. The traction control is great. I had an 05 Adrenalin SportTrac and the difference is night and day. The independent suspension and much quieter ride are a huge improvement over the 05 models. Corning ability is also greatly improved. The truck rides much smoother as well.

Update after a Year - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By Steve - June 12 - 6:16 pmI have had my Sport Trac for over a year now, so I thought I would provide an updated review. I am still a big fan of this truck. Handling and comfort are great. It feels stable in all conditions I am 67" 250 lbs and I have plenty of room which is great because I am in the truck most of the day. The fold flat rear seats provide me a "mobile office" platform, yet the open bed allows for the occassional bulkier item. I have 16,000 miles and fuel economy hovers at 20 in mixed driving. I have had no issues, nothing falling off or not working. Everyone I know loves my truck, and 3 friends have actually got one after seeing mine. I did extensive research before buying, and I am very happy.

Good truck, good value - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By Bill - May 3 - 1:10 amI would buy a Sport Trac again. It is a great vehicle, drives and handles well and is perfect for someone who needs a truck only sometimes. HoweverI rated the exterior and interior design below average because the Ford design team missed some simple features that would make the vehicle much more easy to use.For example the storage compartment in the bed is unreachable unless you crawl up on the bed. Im 65 and I cannot open the compartment, you would need to be built like an ape to use this compartment effectively. The other issue with this compartment is it does not lock, but considering how hard it is to access maybe the Ford design guys felt it was too difficult for a thief to access?

Best one yet - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By Tom - April 19 - 6:16 amHaving had 2 previous Explorers, this is by far the best. Ride quality and handling are much improved with the new platform. The v-8 gives it a needed power boost and seems to do as well as the 6 cylinder on mileage. The interior is outstanding as well as the new exterior design.

Cant believe I bought a Ford - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By dgeho - February 24 - 1:00 amA good looking truck along with the V8 power made it attractive to me. The car-like ride, handling and good visibility made it attractive to my wife. If you are looking for a good towing vehicle that will fit in your garage, this is it. We test drove quite a few trucks before deciding to purchase, but it was an easy decision based on the price/available options/and nice design. There are some areas that could use some updating and the service you get from a Ford dealer is a little shaky - but the vehicle is very solid, quiet and easy to drive.

Herb Gause - 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
By HGause - January 2 - 8:16 pmThis is my third Sport Trac and its a 100% improvement over the other two. It rides a little stiffer but the other improvements make it more fun to drive. I would not consider owning any other vehicle. I really like it.

By Tim - September 5 - 10:26 pmI like the truck a lot. It is the perfect city truck and can really haul but if you want it to. It handles well and fits in a parking spot!
