The overview
The 2007 redesign brought standard ESC and independent rear suspension, but only modest improvements to ride and handling. With the refinements, we found handling to be competent, but ride stiff and choppy. Also, braking performance had room for improvement, with a poor showing in our fade tests. Part of the problem is this version of the Sport Trac is based upon an earlier version of the Explorer, which lacked many of the refinements of the day. As result, we also found modest interior space, along with unimpressive fit and finish. However, outward visibility to the front is quite good and the seats are supportive -- if somewhat lumpy. The bed is good for a six-foot load with the tailgate open and the bed extender in place. It also contains hidden storage.
