2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Limited

The Sport Trac is Ford's pickup-SUV crossover, a four-door truck with a short bed that splits the difference between an Explorer and an F-150. It drives like a truck with a car's manners; the ride is composed on pavement, though the steering feels a bit vague at speed. Inside, the cabin is roomy for four adults, and the rear seats fold flat to extend the cargo area into the bed. The short bed is handy for hauling dirty gear while keeping the cabin clean, and the tailgate and mid-gate open wide for loading. The Limited sits above the XLT trim, adding leather seating, heated front seats, and a standard premium sound system. Its 4.0L V6 makes 210 horsepower and 254 lb-ft of torque, paired with the five-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, returning 15 mpg combined.
