Limited models now come standard with auxiliary air conditioning, 18-inch machined aluminum wheels and a reverse sensing system Exterior For 2007, Eddie Bauer and Limited models offer power running boards. Had less than 30k miles when purchased. The reverse sensing feature is worth it! You have 190k on both original engine and trans?? Plugs are good, flushed tranny and differential, it runs great, I just cant understand why Im getting worse gas mileage with the v6 and the auto 4x4. I love the red color with the eddie bauer two tone, the two tone leather seats. The V-6 teams with a five-speed automatic transmission, while the V-8 works with a new six-speed automatic. My only complaint is the turn signal knob seem too high. In fact, the 2006 Explorer was poised to dominate this year's competition.
I rarely drive on the highway, but when I do, I can get upwards of 21 mpg. . It looks great with the gold trim accents. We did get used to the 292 horses provided by the optional 4. The enhancements to the handling of the vehicle is extraordinary. I filled yesterday and reset the odometer.
There is an F-150 feel from behind the driver's seat, but it still doesn't measure up to the F-150's cabin in terms of build quality. You have to have done some exhaust work and air intake work. Otherwise, I'm in the 18 range, down closer to 15 when towing. In addition, both rear rows of seats now fold almost completely flat just two degrees from horizontal , so cargo is less likely to vacate the vehicle the instant the liftgate is opened. Expected better with smaller V8 and 6 speed trans.
Interior space is unchanged from the Explorer's, and if you've ever sat in a Honda Ridgeline, the Sport Trac will feel a bit cramped. I have had a 02 4. What hurts mpg so much for the Ex is, due to its heavy weight, starting up from a stop. Door handles have not been as issue with me, but I see where they could be aggrevating for some. I was upgrading from a 98 5. The mileage for this leg of the trip was 32. Will that oil weight damage my engine? I just did a round trip to Philly 330 miles and averaged 16.
However, it went largely unchanged for five years, and the competition soon downshifted and surpassed the long-in-tooth Sport Trac. So why didn't it take home the Calipers? The now-more-efficient 24-valve V8 delivers a marked increase in horsepower, along with increases in maximum towing and payload capacities to 7,300 and 1,520 pounds, respectively. Moreover, the newest Explorer is more responsive around town and, when equipped with the new V8 and six-speed automatic transmission, is the most powerful model yet, although we found the V6 had more than enough output to meet our daily-driver demands. The 2007 v6 is slightly underpowered for its larger size and not quite as zippy as the '95 v6. All except about 25 miles was highway mileage at 75-80mph I stayed with traffic.
All except about 25 miles was highway mileage at 75-80mph I stayed with traffic. The ride and handling are further improved by the independent rear suspension that replaces a solid axle. Fuel economy highway 21 mpg Engine torque 254 lbs. Ride is smooth and I like the styling. Maybe they meant the truck could support an owner's sporty hobbies while providing some superior traction. I live in Philadelphia, and recently took a trip with 3 of my friends to Harrisburg.
Also, why did you get rid if the Cat. Talk about a night and day difference. I was upgrading from a 98 5. Boy do I miss that, I averaged 20 mpg per tank. The Audiophile sound system is wonderful. Most of the engineering effort seems to have been directed toward the four-foot bed that is good for carrying 1430 pounds. I Always Been Attracted To Ford Cars And Truck, Simply Ford Is The Brand For Me.
It's also markedly quieter, making for easy conversation between occupants in separate rows. Recent Fair Purchase Prices for the have reflected real-world selling prices from 10- to -15-percent less than the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price, but we expect those differences to shrink in light of the vehicle improvements and downwardly adjusted sticker prices. I let you know guys what happened. The only functional sore spot we noted was the awkward placement of the front-row door handles. A new White Sand Tri-Coat Clearcoat Metallic exterior color is available on Limited models. I've been happy overall with the mileage. Normally i try to never pass 2500 Rpm where the engine develops its optimun torque.
