The sales woman did not know what she was talking about, the transmission will go into o/d below 50mph. It is best to use the O/D all the time. The only time you would de-activate the O/D (pushing the button) is when you need additional power or engine braking, such as when towing a trailer...

I though the 2007s had the same bolt pattern as the first generation ST?

I always park at the back of the lot, away from other vehicles. I find I keep my vehicles door-ding free for years that way. I laugh at people who drive around, looking for a 'closer spot' in parking lots - I can usually park far away, and walk by them as they continue to circle in their...

The wife and I went and test drove the Edge SEL AWD last night. It was a sunny day, temp about 25 F, the roads were dry but frost heaved. The Edge drives and rides really nice! Smooth ride, quiet, and it feels stable. The 3.5L v6 sounds OK, and accelerates pretty decent, very smooth...

2007 4x4 V8 Limited - Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 300 miles in winter (cold!) 330 up to 400 miles in summer 200 miles towing 4000 pound 27' travel trailer. Less than 10 mpg at 60-65mph, lots of hills.

Tom, Crossover Vehicle and Sport Utility Vehicle are just marketing terms. The marketing guys attach one of the labels to the the vehicles. The Edge and RAV4 are similar in dimensions, shape and function. They will compete in sales. Like I stated before, both are 5 door unibody wagons...

Tom - now your just being silly. Crown Vic and F-150? The Edge and RAV4 are both tall, unibody 5 door wagons with optional AWD - how do you define a crossover versus a SUV? Pretty much the same thing in my book.

Edge - 185 inches long, 5 seater, 4500 pounds (Limited AWD), 265hp, 17/24mpg RAV4 - 181 inches long, optional 7 seat capacity, 3700 pounds, 269hp, 21/28mpg I'd say they are in the same class, pricing is close as well.

The Edge is a nice looking vehicle - my wife wants one. However, it is too heavy, and fuel economy really suffers because of it, not to mention braking ability. No reason that a 5 passenger wagon needs to weigh over 4500 pounds (AWD limted on Edmunds.com)! My pick in this class would be the...

I didn't have any problems with the rear window fogging up this winter - and I live up in the cold of Ontario, Canada! I do wish I would have ordered the truck with the heated windshield, which now comes bundled with heated mirrors. And I wish I have the rear parking sensors, as it is hard to...

I you are really going to spend a lot of time off road, the Frontier NISMO or Tacoma TRD might be better choices. For me, with 98% of my driving on pavement, sometimes towing a 27ft 4000lb trailer, the Sport Trac is best.

At 5'7", you are probably looking at a road bike frame in the 54cm size. New road bikes will probably have 16-18 speeds (double chainring) or 24-27 speeds(triple chainring). Like others have said, go to a bike shop, not a department store. A mountain bike for you would probably be the 17"...

2 things in favor of the Sport Trac - V8 and independent rear suspension. The Frontier will not ride as nice as the ST.

I used to do my own servicing, but I take my vehicle in now simply because the cost differential between doing it yourself and having the work done is about $20. For that $20, I don't need to worry about disposing the used oil or crawling under the truck and getting oily/dirty. You can...

My 2007 v8 Limited 4x4 is excellent in the snow as well. I am very impressed with the all-season Michelin Cross-Terrain tires, they don't look aggressive, but work well. I think the narrow (235) tires combined with the weight of the truck really cut through the snow. And the stability and...

Towed my 27ft trailer 2000 miles last August - no problems. The GVWR on the trailer is 4400 lbs. The ST tows excellent. Uses lots of gas though - cruising about 65mph with the OD on (it wouldn't lock up the torque converter in 6th) 9.5 - 10 mpg on I81 through the hills. Lots of power - could...

It appears that the 1994 and up Mustangs have the same bolt pattern as the Sport Trac. Has anybody tried Mustang wheels on their truck?

Here is my ST hard at work hauling 27 feet of Trail-Lite through the Poccono's. [Broken External Image]:

2007 Limited v8 4x4 - 10,000 miles since August 15th.

Some of the jolting is also caused by the traction control, it cuts the throttle and uses the brakes to stop the spinning wheels. You need to push and hold the traction control button for about 10 seconds to disengage (it will flash a few times). Once disengaged, you can play with powerslides...
