#51 of 339 New release date by bluejays Feb 04, 2006 (3:01 pm)
Replying to: bluejays (Jan 24, 2006 9:26 pm) Hi All-   Spoke with another dealership on February 2, 2006 and they're predicting the new trucks will start hitting the dealerships in March towards the end of the month.   I'm wondering if the recent spike in fuel costs (although not quite as bad as last summer) will lead to some of these new vehicles just sitting on dealership lots?   ~ Blue Jays ~ Replies to this message: once_for_all (Feb 04, 2006 4:56 pm)

Replying to: bluejays (Feb 04, 2006 3:01 pm) that's a hard call... with Ford claiming 20ish for mileage, it might be economical to some.   On the other hand if they all come with the V-8 they will quickly get a reputation as a gas hog.   Personally, I am holding out til they bring in a new generation diesel and take mpg up to 24.   John
#53 of 339 Performance Sport Trac? by mapleharry Feb 11, 2006 (10:41 am)
Blip in Sryacuse paper says Ford decided to scrap plan to build a performance version of Explorer Sport Trac. Any one know what that's about? Replies to this message: once_for_all (Feb 11, 2006 9:08 pm) navigator89 (Feb 12, 2006 10:15 am)

Replying to: mapleharry (Feb 11, 2006 10:41 am) yes, it is their "restructuring"--in other words they aren't making money and they see this as a luxury item on their budget.   John

Replying to: mapleharry (Feb 11, 2006 10:41 am) Yup, it's totally true. In the same announcement Ford said the GT would be discontinued along with the Lincoln LS.   It's sad. Ford needs performance cars. The only one they have is the Mustang GT500 which is good, but not enough. A performance Sport Trac was a Ford product that I was looking forward to, but apparently it wont happen.   Can you at least do an SVT Fusion, Ford?
#56 of 339 Re: Tire Thumping [madijo] by dfarace Feb 28, 2006 (6:09 am)
Replying to: madijo (May 04, 2005 6:41 pm) I have a 2004 Sportrac with 28,000 miles. Mine starting thumping at about 25,000 miles. The dealer says it's tire vibration. Since it caused the tires to wear uneven they are giving me new tires. Goodyear says there are no defects in the tire. I rotate my tires every 6 thousand miles so they should not be worn already. I am still waiting after 3 weeks for the tires.

#57 of 339 Re: Explorer front and improved F-150 rear... [bluejays] by blksn8k Mar 03, 2006 (7:14 am)
Replying to: bluejays (Jan 24, 2006 9:26 pm) I am not sure why people are claiming the 07 Sport Trac has a longer bed. Everything I have read states that it has a longer wheelbase than the previous model but that the extra length was used in the interior, not the bed. While the bed does have more volume than before, I believe this is due to the fact that it is a couple inches wider and maybe a bit taller, not because of an increase in length. This means the tailgate might be a bit longer so you could theoretically carry longer objects when the tailgate is down.   I have received pricing from a couple of dealers but I have told them I will not place an order until I have had a chance to test drive an 07. The MSRP on a 4x4 Limited V-8 with power moonroof, bed extender cage, trailer towing package and hard tonneau cover is $31,330 less dealer and dest. charges. I can buy at X-plan so that should lower it into the $29K range. Not bad... Replies to this message: once_for_all (Mar 03, 2006 8:44 am)

Replying to: blksn8k (Mar 03, 2006 7:14 am) that's what it looks like---50.1" in the new, and 50" in the old style. Slightly higher bed, but the bulk of the new capacity in the bed must be in the width.   When did Ford plan on having the new trucks on the lot?   John
#59 of 339 Interior door handles by fsmmcsi Mar 03, 2006 (6:20 pm)
I have read that some are on lots. I haven't found any in California. Has anyone seen one on a dealer's lot? I wonder if they fixed the crazy interior door handle on the 2006 Explorer & Mountaineer?
#60 of 339 Door Handle Not Fixed, May Not Be a Problem, Bed by fsmmcsi Mar 09, 2006 (9:49 am)
It seems that the door handle will not be changed until the 2008 model, but the present design may not be much of a problem. Some people how own and make them have told me that it takes about a week to become accustomed to it.   The dimensions of the bed/box are (from Ford) 37.5 cubic feet - 50.1" Deep x 61" Wide x 21" High.
