Hello,
I was able to get my Limited at the invoice price. The invoice that the dealer gave me matched up exactly with the one from Consumer Reports. I took the 3.9 % 60 month financing which actually made the payments a few dollars less than taking the $1000 cash. Plus I will save almost $1500 in interest. Shop around, Ford needs to sell some vehicles the dealers should be willing to work with you or at least my dealer did here in Texas. Good luck!

Thanks for your pricing comment on the ST. I'm considering one. After reading in the paper that Ford's bond rating fell, I know they have to sell vehicles. Good for the consumer.
 
 

#185 of 351 Need V4 engine on the Sport Trac by vrm

Jun 11, 2006 (8:06 am)

I want the BEST possible gas mileage.
 
Why doesnt Ford offer a V4 engine? I really dont care or need the power of a V6 or V8.
 
Given that a V4 engine is not an option, what kind of real world mileage does the V6 provide?
 
Thanks!

First, no such thing as a V4 - an I4 yes, but no V4.
 
Ford doesn't offer a 4 on the Sport Trac because a 4 would be less able to haul around this vehicle and it would probably be less efficient than a 6 cylinder.

#187 of 351 Actually, Ford did make a V4 by chiefusn

but it was in germany in 1962 for a small car called a Taunus (not Taurus). You want better fuel mileage...get a 4 cylinder Ranger with 5 spd.

I should know better than to speak in absolutes.
 
A V4 - what a funny looking little engine that must have been.

On a vehicle of the Sport Tracs' weight, a V-4 would deliver MUCH worse gas mileage in all driving scenarios, short of cruising across NV on flat roads. Now a large V-6 DIESEL on the other hand, with all its avail low end torque, would get very good mileage (20-30mpg) quite easily in all driving situations.

I just took delivery 8 days ago on my 2007 Limited V8, (Dark Cherry - and AWESOME looking) with the tonneau cover and bed extender (both of which I just got tonight and installed). I've got about 650 miles on it and I've been getting around 14 mpg or so... most of my driving is at 55-65, not freeway, but open country roads south of Fresno back and forth to work. I'm used to driving a mid-nineties Chevy S10, but I am extremely pleased with my Sport Trac so far. I really don't mind that it gets half the MPG than my S10, I love the fact that I am actually able to pass someone when I need to.
 
What really impresses me about the truck is that my wife just loves the ride and how quiet it is. We can't wait to buy an RV trailer to tow behind it now so we can join our friends when they go camping.
 
This is a helluva truck and we're very pleased with it.
Now if only I could find a good way to reach the front part of the roof when washing it..
