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.

Ford offers the 2007 Explorer Sport Trac in two grades – regular and extra strength. The base engine is the familiar 4.0-liter, 12-valve V6 common to the Explorer line. Power equates to 210 horses at 5,100 rpm and 254 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,700 rpm, all managed by a five-speed automatic transmission. That’s decent power for this rig, which weighs in between 4,500 and 4,800 pounds depending on configuration; however, optional for the first time on the Sport Trac is a 4.6-liter, 24-valve V8 good for 292 horsepower at 5,750 rpm and 300 lb.-ft. of twist at 3,700 rpm, all mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
