2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac consumer reviews

K8I thoroughly enjoy this truck/SUV! So much that I traded in my first one for a newer one! I have leather seats (easier to keep clean), a V6, Blue exterior with grey interior. I really appreciate the easy to clean flooring and the exterior outlet in the bed of the truck for plugging in a radio or pump for an air mattress. There is also extra storage in the truck bed as well. My Sport Track has over 68,000 miles on it and still drives like new! The only things I have had to replace are the rear blinker bulbs, the battery (due to lots and stop and start when working the 2010 Census), and I replaced the tires after 60,000 miles. This truck/SUV is very comfortable and seems to attract other friendly Sport Track owners! I have received many compliments on its overall appearance, comfort and the fact that the back seat has a centered A/C vent. It also comes with 3 tether bars for infant/child carseats (that my husband uses to tie down tools with). The back seat splits and lays down. The jack and tools are easily accessible under/behind the back seat and there is even a cubbie to hide jumper cables in! I Love this truck!

I get a lot of positive comments about my truck. I have a 2007 Sport Trac Limited, dark cherry metalic. I have had notes left on my truck saying what a beautiful vehicle. I am sorry that this model will no longer be made.

I have own this truck for about four months if your looking for a 4x4 truck that handles well in the snow and has to comfort of an SUV this is it!

I have owned an S-10 and put 145K miles on it I have owned a '93 F-150 and put 130K miles on it and a '05 F-150 and put 74K miles on it. I owned '66 F-100, a '56 F-100, a '50 F-100 and a '49 F-100 and love loved them all except the S-10. As you can see thye F series Ford trucks have been my favotires, but this Explorer Sport Track Limited has them all beat.....I would rather drive it than our Lincoln. This is the best preforming most comfortable truck I have ever owned.

I purchased The Sport Trac used with 39,000 miles, I now have 45000 miles on it. The V8 is a better choice than the V6. I average between 17 and 20 mpg combine city and highway with the V8. The motor is quiet and powerful and easily tows a small car on trailer, less then 7500lbs. I'm a big guy and the seating is adjustable and the pedals adjust back and forth so my wife has no trouble adjusting to her 5'-2" frame. Fit and finish on the exterior and interior is much better then my 95 Ford. a vast improvement. One draw back is the driver information display interface. Every input is through the reset button on the speedo. Instructions are vague and not at all intuitive. I usually give up resetting anything about half the time. The interior is great for four adults and the bed will handle just about anything I need to haul around. Overall a very fine vehicle.

I own a 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac XLT with a 4.6L V8. It is incredible. The handling is pristine and comfortably sensitive; it has tight and very maneuverable handling. The performance of this vehicle is impressive. With the V8, it has a powerful pickup that is very comfortable: it isn't TOO MUCH. With 292 horsepower, I get the ability to easily pull decently large loads, such as a fishing boat and trailer. The cabin is very roomy. The back seat is a bench seat, and the vehicle seats 5 as its maximum. This vehicle also has good looking black rubber floors. They are soft and very simple to clean and maintain. The floor mats also lock into the floor, making them steady and stern. I, personally, got this vehicle over the Ford Explorer SUV because I had a more significant need for storage (I would be storing more items than people). The large cabin and the decently-sized bed are a great combination. I can store anything in the tonneau-covered, water-proof bed with no worry. This combination also makes the truck look absolutely gorgeous, as well. The high bed looks like glory mounted upon a slender, long cabin. However, this makes for somewhat poor visibility through the back window. It is easy getting used to; one must learn to observe the back through other mirrors and turning around. It is NOT hindering, though. Another con is the placement of the gripping handles on the doors. They are placed below the sleek, retro door handles (for opening/closing), making it difficult to stop the door if it slips out of grip. With the XLT model, I sacrificed the exquisite comfort and style of the interior for great performance and reliability. The materials used are cloth, which is nearly a preference with me, personally, and much plastic-like material for the dash and such. However, it is not purely unacceptable for the price. Ford made this interior work. It only adds to the shear beauty of this finely-tuned machine. This truck has all of the standard features, such as "traction control," as I call it, a thermometer, a compass, and air conditioning, and the usual. It is pretty comfortable, especially for the price. It is a decently expensive vehicle if it is purchased in good shape, but it is all worth it. The pros entirely outweigh the cons. I am still madly in love with it; it is so gorgeous. I STRONGLY recommend this vehicle to anyone wanting to compromise between storage for people and objects, and for anyone who wants a beautiful machine that will either meet or raise every standard ever created.

Purchased used in Dec of 2006 with 11,000 miles on it. The computer will not reset for routine services, oil change, etc. Radiator has a hole in it and waiting to get it replaced at present (at my expense) Basically feels like some of the older Fords that weren't built very well and needed work every time you turn around.

We've had our V8 XLT now for 2 and half years and have had zero reliability issues, the fuel economy is good, the utility part of the car is great and the the V8 has a bit of sport to go with it. I used to have a V6 Explorer but find the gearbox to be very unforgiving, the V8 with the 6 speed is fantastic. Also a few months back my Finace had a bad accident in our sport trac, thankfully everyone was ok and the car was not a total, but we can say that the sport trac probably saved her life!!!! I'd like to see a new generation of Explorer/Sport trac that will follow the lines of the 2010 Mustang/Challenger etc. No one is there yet but I think it could look great. Good work Ford

AFTER 1 YEAR OF OWNING A SPORT TRAC I HAVE TOO SAY NOT ONLY AM I HAPPY WITH THE SPROT TRAC BUT MY WIFE IS VERY HAPPY WITH IT...WITH THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE HAD WAS A SHORT WITH THE DVD PLAYER THIS LITTLE TRK IS GREAT 17 MPG IN THE CITY AND APPROX 25 MPG HIWAY WITH A V6...I CANT SAY MUCH OTHER THAN THIS LITTLE V6 HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH GET UP A GO....FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT LIVE IN THE NORTH WITH THE SNOW I WOULD SPEND THE MONEY FOR THE TRACTION CONTROL AND HEATED WINDSHIELD OPTIONS AND FULL AIRBAG SYSTEM....HAPPY TRUCKING

I purchased a 2007 Sport Trac about 7 months ago and have already put close to 15,000 miles on the vehicle. Prior, I had an Avalanche. The Sport Trac is definately NOT an Avalanche, but then again, the Sport Trac is priced much lower, which is why I went in this direction. Overall I am happy with the Sport Trac, but not jumping up and down over it. My biggest disappointment is the fuel consumption. I read many reviews of similar vehicles prior to my purchase and until recently have not seen any major negatives on consumption for the Sport Trac. I thought that I would be getting a much more fuel efficient vehicle than the much bigger Avalanche, but that is not the case. As I mentioned, I have put a ton of miles on my Sport Trac and despite the sticker saying 15/21, you can expect an average of 15 to 16 MPG driving at normal speeds, which is less than what I was getting before. Ford really needs to do something to make this vehicle more fuel efficient in the future. Aside from that, the vehicle looks good and the interior is comfortable enough. It is responsive and drives pretty smooth. The door handles are no big deal. The locking hard cover on the bed is a must. My purchase price was approx $30K and one of the deciding factors to go with this vehicle was the 0% financing that was being offered.
