I have the heated windshield and use the Garmin Nuvi 350 with built in antenna with NO problem. I also use an Escort radar detector with no problem.
The heated windshield has wires imbedded and not the same as the coated windshield as in my old Taurus.

I thought I read somewhere that Job 2 would include a skid plate option. Does anyone know if this is true? I use my current truck, an '02 Ranger FX4, offroad a fair amount and it has a full set of factory skid plates. They have been "tested" more than once. I do know that the only way to get skid plates on the '07 Sport Trac at this point is if you are a fleet buyer. The option code is 51E but for the time being it is not available to the general public. I am planning to place my order soon but I will wait for this option if it becomes available in August.

There is a skid plate option but it is not available to the public. My understanding is that the skid plates are only available to companies that order fleet vehicles. Don't quite understand why, but that's how they have it set up..... I doubt it will become a public option, if so they would add it now with the other newly released options.

Picked mine up on 7/3/06

I picked my new Limited 4x4 V8 sport trak on monday. It's everything I anticipated and more. I did get the power rear window. I highly recommend it if you don't get the moonroof. It helps the air-flow in the cabin when driving with a window down.

Congrats on your new Sport Trac. I'm trying to decide between the V6 and V8 engines. I have a friend who had the previous generation Explorer and claimed his transmission started slipping at 40K miles. He was told by a mechanic that this was common with the Ford 5-speeds. Does the 07 Sport Trac V6 come with the same 5 speed transmission? I don't necessarily need the extra power. but I'm leaning towards the V8 and the 6-spd trans hoping it's newer technology and a better design. Anyone who knows more about theses engines and transmissions?

Chris, the 6-speed tranny that comes with the V8 is a new transmission. I'm not aware of any "flaw" with the old 5-speed tranny though. The tranny in my old Explorer ('99 V6 5-speed 99k miles) never missed a beat and feels tight enough for another 50k. My parents have owned a first generation Explorer and a '98 Mountaineer, both with V6 5-speeds-- They've not had any problems either. I test drove the '07 sport trak with both the V6 and the V8. My preference was the V8. There is the added cost and lower mileage in city driving, but highway mileage is a tossup between the two.

Doh! I just looked on Ford's site tonight to see if they renewed the 0% for 36 month incentive and they raised it to 2.9%. All of the finance rates have been raised. This new "incentive" is until 10/02/06. I guess I'll wait until after 10/02 to see if they'll have a better deal.
