In all of the 07 pic's it shows tha rear sliding window even though the 07's won't have them. What's up with that? :angry:

 

[TomT]

No rear sliding window on the 2007? That would be a major turn-off for me. I love the power sliding window.

 

[Heather Rueckert]

Bryan from Ford told us the Job 2 07's will have the sliding window. -Heather

Did anyone notice the gas cap was moved to the passenger side too ?

 

[Fer Echegaray]

Wasn't there a long thread regarding gas caps on each side, not so long ago?...:huh:

 

[Arthur Akard]

Well look at that. It is on the passenger side. I prefer it on the driver's side.

 

[LentonMaria Brooks]

The exhaust pipe is on the drivers side not the passengers side

Holy Cow.....is that ......Mandarin????[Broken External Image]:

Does anyone know if they did away with the keypad above the door handle? It doesn't appear in any of the pictures...

 

[Fred]

I bet it's on the B-pillar, like on the Explorer.

 

[Fer Echegaray]

That's an early production, should I say "beta" ST?

I guess some features will be added or removed on the market released product, like the keypad and rear sliding door.



I would REALLY love to see the grill in a matte black finish instead of chrome...

The keypad will be on the 'B' pillar, the movable rear window will be job 2. And other grills may be available. This picture is an Explorer at the outside display at Dallas.

TRAket-

According to the linked article, only two trims will be on the '07 ST, XLT and Limited, both with the chrome grille...."tough luxury" Ford calls it...uneeded and ugly to everyone else.

 

[TRACket Paul]

My basic thought is that an unchromed grill section can obtained over the counter,painted and and simply bolted in place. Just another modification that personalizes the ST, not unlike painting the lower cladding on the first years of the ST.

 

[Tom Schindler]

The crome is ugly and the IRS is even more so.



The new Sport Trac, I can't wait until last year.

OK, these photos only solidify this thought I've been having...



Is it just me, or does all the new chrome on the roof rack and step bars make this thing look like a Subaru Baja? (And that's NOT a good thing.)



And yes, the gas cap side change has been discussed elsewhere here.

 

[Bill V]

Oh crap--



I just saw that the new "Sport Trac" tailgate badge isn't body-colored. It's RED, regardless of body color--similar to the original crappy red Sport Trac badge, only now instead of matte red, it's shiny metallic red, so it really stands out just what an eyesore it is...



That's gotta go!
