I bought a 2007 Sport trac limited 4x4 auto V8, fully dected out with extra options in July 2010,i love driving this truck/suv,its perfect,not to big,not to small,lots of power,lots of room,the only downfall is it burns more gas than i would like but its worth it in comfort.

Just bought a 2007 Sport Trac limited V8 with 89k miles for $8k, best money I've spent thus far, truck rides smooth and has great power for a small V8. These things are completely underrated and overlooked by small truck buyers, i myself was looking at overpriced Tacomas, Rangers and Colorados for weeks until I decided to look at SUVs and typed "Explorer" and found out a truck version existed 😁. Edit: Got a Brenspeed 93oct tune and it now does 0-60 in 6.5 seconds. Quite impressive considering everything else down to the air filter is factory stock.

@@notsosilentmajority1 Thanks, since you are looking for one make sure you get the V8 version because you get 80hp-60trq more than the V6 and get roughly the same mpg thanks to the 6spd transmission. Only buy one made 2008+, the early 2006-2007 3v 4.6L have 3 piece spark plugs that break when removing them and are a complete pain to remove. 2008-2010 got revised heads and plugs that werent prone to breaking, other than that you should be golden.

Uhaul shouldnt descriminate if you changed out the tires & use 35psi. The wheelbase is 125.9" & suffient for towing. Maybe a class action lawsuit for descriminatory rules. Actually, Ford & Firestone shouldve released the tire data b4 selling the STs to the public & businesses like Uhaul. Just towed a 2 horse trailer 70miles RT w/o any problems. Dry wt of horse trailer 3200lbs with a 900 lb horse & limited tack. My '02 ST has factory towing pkg & towed easily up & down hills. 😊
