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!

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. |

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. Chief

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..

I would like to ask if anyone else has noticed that it is difficult to take off smoothly from a dead stop? This is with the V8 and six speed auto. It seems like the transmission doesn't shift all the way to first gear until you press the gas pedal, which by the way seems a bit stiff which does not help.
