#270 of 339 07 ST 4.0 V6 by jessenok Sep 04, 2006 (12:58 pm)
I have a smokin hot silver 4.0L 2wd 07 ST. I have 5000 miles on it. I love it a great deal. Quality of this vehicle is the best that I have ever seen. The door handle that everyone seems to be bitching about is absolutely nothing. If nothing else else, its nice to rest my knee against while driving! I do have one thing a one thing I would change or tweak a bit if I could. It seems to me that the rev range for the 3rd to 4th gear on the 5 speed is too low. It will usually shift out at about 2500 even when I am wanting more performance and feel is should shift out at about 3500 to 4000. Also, sometimes I have noticed it takes me pushing the pedal way, way down to get to the opposite and bring it out of 4th gear into a higher rpm passing mode. Anyone else have this problem? Im wondering if the dealer could tweak the shift ranges or something. Im not a mechanic but it seems like something could be done. Another thing is that when I hold the pedal steady at say for example 45 miles per hour..seems like the RPMs fluctuate a bit causing a very very small lurching action that probably only I can feel cause Im paying attention and watching the gauge. Its almost as if the engine/trans doesnt know what to do with itself. Its hard to describe. Anyone have any input on this? Also, I am getting according to the trip computer, 18 average miles per gallon. Not bad for hot OK 95 plus weather running AC full time.

Replying to: jdc1203 (Sep 03, 2006 11:52 am) My recommendation would be to go to an after market in dash navigation system. Look at the Pioneer AVIC-Z1, it has all the features of the fatory nav system and more. There is an available adaptor that allows the steering wheel controls to work with it. Let me know if you need more info.... I already purchased the Pioneer unit and i'm waiting on my Sport Trac that is on order.

Replying to: ayarbo1 (Sep 05, 2006 8:25 am) Pioneer AVIC-Z1 sounds good and I have looked at it on the Crutchfield site. Could you email me more details. jdc1203bellsouth.net Does it come with good instructions with wire codes and what kind of adapter RF or wired? Thanks, jdc1203 Replies to this message: ayarbo1 (Sep 06, 2006 2:38 am)

Replying to: jdc1203 (Sep 05, 2006 6:29 pm) JDC, the AVIC-Z1 uses wired adaptors. I'll email a list of everything you need to install this unit in the 2007 SPort Trac. You've got mail!

Replying to: kcram (Sep 06, 2006 5:31 pm) Personally, I think it's rediculous that you can't take certain issues off line to communicate in more detail about, but I will respect you rules: so EVERYONE, HERE IS THE INFO THAT I SHARED WITH JDC   Hello jdc,   This is Aaron from the Sport Trac auto forum. For the best information on the Pioneer AVIC-Z1 go to the pioneer website and review all of the features.   http://www.pioneerelectronicscom   This is a list of items that you need to order from Crutchfield for your Sport Trac installation: I realize that one of the items is listed as an F-150 and Chrysler part but they are needed for the Sport Trac as well.   Ford Wire Harness Item #120705521 $19.99 Ford F-150 Instalation Kit Item #120995807 $14.99 Chrysler ANtenna Adaptor Item #12040CR10 $12.99   This last item is needed for your steering wheel controls to work with the Pioneer AVIC-Z1 and it is ordered from a different vendor.   Sonic Electronix 1-877-289-7664 PAC SWI-PS $49.99 the link below should take you directly to it: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_5319.html   And finally, I have attached a picture of what the unit looks like installed in the 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac.   Enjoy, Aaron Replies to this message: fsmmcsi (Sep 17, 2006 6:36 pm) ayarbo1 (Sep 21, 2006 3:28 am) fsmmcsi (Sep 29, 2006 2:46 pm)
#276 of 339 Re: Job 2's are coming in... [blksn8k] by gladiator99 Sep 08, 2006 (6:08 pm)
Replying to: blksn8k (Aug 22, 2006 6:24 pm) I just picked up my 07 ST Limited last week and the best I can tell the vin # is in the 58000 series. Mine is a Canadian model. There is no Job 1 or job 2 designation. All it says is order code 240A-LMTD V8 4X4. What change did they make to the door panels? This vehicle is very nicely equipped and drives very smoothly. The mileage according to the engine's computer is around 17 mpg.(Canadian Gallons) in city driving. Havn't had a chance to take any long trips yet but the mileage should get better as the vehicle gets a few more miles on it. So far, so good.   Replies to this message: blksn8k (Sep 11, 2006 4:28 pm)
#277 of 339 Sport Trac question by joebiz Sep 09, 2006 (7:15 pm)
Would like to order a new Sport Trac but would like to also have XM radio (have it my two gm cars) any way I could use the factory Ford radio to play XM with out hanging on another tuner on the dash?? Not sure but looks like the XM Direct option only works with the older radios any one have any ideas??
#278 of 339 Re: Job 2's are coming in... [gladiator99] by blksn8k Sep 11, 2006 (4:28 pm)
Replying to: gladiator99 (Sep 08, 2006 6:08 pm) They added a cupped or dished out area in the armrest towards the back of the door on the front doors only. Should be easier to use when closing the doors than the low mounted handle that is a bit too far forward. Think more leverage. There were also some color changes on the US models. Mineral Gray is discontiued and Carbon (Alloy?) and Orange Frost have been added. They also added a plug-in on the stereos for an external MP3 player such as an Ipod. There is also now a chrome package optional on the Limited which adds chrome plated running boards, roof rails, mirror caps and wheels (bling-bling).

Replying to: jdc1203 (Sep 03, 2006 11:52 am) Hey. I just installed the Explorer Nav unit in my Ford F-250 and Love it. Yes, the controls on the cruise control are not programmed. You can do it by going through some menus and you'll find it. It works great. Expecially lowers my volume on the radio to give me directions. Don't by an aftermarket. This unit is AWESOME.   Hope this helps. michael_wardwardbrothers.com Replies to this message: ayarbo1 (Sep 14, 2006 9:18 am) jdc1203 (Sep 18, 2006 3:12 pm) jdc1203 (Sep 21, 2006 8:05 pm)
