TO THE POINT What’s New? A new chassis has been borrowed from the 2006 Ford Explorer, the styling has been updated, there’s more interior room, a V8 is now available, and the composite bed offers more volume.
Selling Points: Comfortable and quiet ride, V8 option, the 4WD model’s off-road ability
Deal Breakers: Styling that’s still love-it or hate-it, as-tested fuel economy, interior materials and build quality
Our Advice: Like the new Explorer, there’s much to like here if you can look past the abundance of cheap interior materials and average build quality.

Click to enlarge. 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Features Ford Explorer Sport Trac XLT models start at $24,940 and include a CD and MP3 player, tilt steering, cruise control, and a tire pressure monitor, while the Limited, with a base price of $26,530, adds silver running boards, front sport buckets, and front fog lights.

There are three primary choices to make when selecting a 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac: XLT or Limited trim, rear- or four-wheel drive, and V6 or V8 engine. Selecting a powertrain and drivetrain is fairly straight forward, but selecting a trim takes a bit more consideration.

XLT models, starting at $24,940 including a $695 destination charge, come well equipped with a nice array of standard features like power mirrors and locks, a CD and MP3 player, tilt steering, cruise control, a tire pressure monitor, V6 power mated to a five-speed automatic transmission, and 16-inch alloy wheels rolling on 235/70 white-letter tires. With a base price of $26,530, the Limited replaces the XLT’s black bumpers and door handles with body-color parts, swaps out black roof rails with silver units, and adds 18-inch alloy wheels with 235/65 Michelin rubber, silver running boards, front sport buckets, a power driver’s seat with manual lumbar adjustment, a leather steering wheel, and front fog lights.

Fitting a V8 and six-speed transmission under the skin adds $1,200 to any Sport Trac, while the four-wheel-drive system tacks $2,495 on to the sticker. Other options include an Audiophile sound system, Sirius satellite radio, a navigation system, a bed extender, a Class III tow hitch with a seven-pin connector that replaces the standard Class II/four-pin receiver, a power sunroof, heated windshield glass, adjustable pedals, power rear glass that slides into the cab wall, a hard tonneau cover, and side-curtain airbags. Specific to the XLT is an available power driver’s seat; an Appearance Package with 17-inch alloy wheels, black running boards, and fog lights. Leather upholstery can be added to the Limited, as can a dual-zone climate control system.
