#161 of 339 I Love This Truck! by revegas May 15, 2006 (6:34 am)
I purchased an 07 Limited with some reservations having always been a big truck man. Some positive aspects of this vehicle are: it does fit in my garage (8" to spare), it has ample power and the torque is awesome, the ride is very "car-like", it has ample room for 4 or 5 adults, the creature features are equal to my wife's 07 Escalade, (sat radio, heated seats, power seats, sun roof, etc). I have made a couple of modifications. It did not sound like a V8, so I changed the front muffler out for a free flow type, It now sounds like a throaty V8 like it should. I also put a set of Nitto's 285 60r 18's on the stock wheels. It now has an agressive look without compromising ride or handling. I am also looking for the cold induction and have considered an aftermarket super-charger.   The only disappointment I have is the gas mileage..13.1 average. My wife's escalade gets 13.7. Guess you can't have it all. Replies to this message: ayarbo1 (May 15, 2006 8:21 am) revegas (May 24, 2006 9:23 pm) captjchin (May 25, 2006 1:19 am)

Replying to: mustangguy74 (May 10, 2006 4:27 pm) The Navigation System is now also available. The Navigation option code is 58Q and the invoice price is $2129 (Retail $2505). I'm waiting on the implementation of the new interior door handles (cups in the armrest) before I place my order. I can't wait...

Replying to: revegas (May 15, 2006 6:34 am) Revegas, I'm curious as to what Brand of free flow muffler you are using? I'm considering the same thing and I have always run Flow Masters on my past Ford vehicles. What brand and a little more info on how they sound if you don't mind.   Also a comment about the Nitto's, for those that might not be familiar with them. They are realy nice tires, I have a set on my Corvette and you can't beat them for the price! Replies to this message: revegas (May 24, 2006 9:23 pm) captjchin (May 25, 2006 1:19 am)
#165 of 339 2007 sports trac V8 limited edition by larryc5 May 15, 2006 (4:50 pm)
Two questions. I have purchased the new 2007 sports trac with a V8 engine. I noticed a clicking in the engine when it idles. The ford dealership says this natural for that engine . Has anyone had the same problem. Also has anyone installed a flow master on this engine and how loud is it. It is almost impossible to get the dual exhaust installed because of the layout under the bed and axle..Anyone have any ideas or suggestions. Thanks, Larry Replies to this message: blksn8k (May 15, 2006 11:34 pm)

Replying to: larryc5 (May 15, 2006 4:50 pm) Larry, I also noticed a clicking or tapping sound on the V-8 I test drove. It was not audible from inside the truck, only when the hood was up. I thought it was excessively loud. But when I asked about this on several message boards no one else seemed to notice. One clown even asked why I would care if I couldn't hear it from inside and suggested that I should not be looking at a Ford if I wanted a quiet engine! His theory was that it is a complex engine with "lots of parts". Yeah, right. If I'm paying over $30k I would expect a little better. My 99 Cobra with the same displacement and two more camshafts has lots more parts and is much quieter than the truck I tested. Lol.

Replying to: mustangguy74 (May 10, 2006 4:27 pm) That's interesting. I asked a saleslady at a local dealer to try inputing an order with the 617 order code for the power rear window a couple of days ago. I got a reply from her today and she claims it cannot even be ordered until July. I guess I need to find another dealer...

Replying to: blksn8k (May 17, 2006 4:50 pm) I have an original Vehicle Order Confirmation print out from my salesman (who happnes to be the Fleet Manager) with it showing both Retail and Dealer Invoice prices listed. The saleslady might not be able to provide a build date, but she should be able to place the order. Replies to this message: kcram (May 18, 2006 5:04 pm)

Replying to: ayarbo1 (May 18, 2006 11:16 am) Could be an allocation issue. Dealers that sell in higher volume are usually able to get more vehicles ordered and the newest options first.   kcram - Pickups Host
