After enjoying this forum for the past 6 months, I now enjoy our 07 Job 2 Dk Cherry Sport Trac that we ordered. We had a build date on the last week in August. The door on the vehicle said Sept 9 and was at the dealer in Mass. on the 11th. We picked up the vehicle on the 13th. We picked every option except Chrome, Nav Sys. ,Sat. radio and heated windshield. We also made a few dealer accessories. We ordered Explorer LTD bodyside moldings and had them painted Dk Cherry and installed. The back door is 3/4, yet since it is body color, it blends seamless and i enjoy the added protection and texture to the side appearance. We also added the Explorer chrome name badges for the door, at only 12.50 a piece. I believe it tastefully adds to the vehicle, while I also some think some may disagree with this choice, I really like them. The 07 Explorers also will keep the name badge and move the V8 symbol to the front fenders, keeping a factory original theme.
After two coats of wax, the Dark Cherry has a beautiful tone, many people comparing it to a wine color. We have the Dk Charcoal /Stone interior.
Took a drive to NH/ VT this past Sat. Avg 16.1 mpg, but more interesting was the separate mpg highway on the return trip was 18 mpg going 65 - 70 mph. Very quiet and confortable to drive. My first moonroof and enjoyed the PDBL. Almost like a convertable.
My thanks to the people who have posted here. It helped me make an informed decision I am enjoying. I had a good experience at Sarat Ford in Agawam.MA and had a good salesman in Jack LaValley who really followed through on the special trims I added, working with the parts dept. and the body shop and a good delivery. On our order he double checked everything twice and confirmed the order form twice with me there to make sure everything was done right. I paid a fair price, but did no like the mandatory advertising fee (talk about paying for nothing). I hate to think I pay for a terrible Ford website, no advertising on a Trac I can see on TV or radio. I also chose to get an ESP, even with the 5 yr 60K warranty. It is basically the Basic ESP. There are new prices on ESPs, and I got the premium first day rental cheaper than Warrany Direct's best coverage by over 200 dollars! The prices on this websites Spartan Ford ESP were the old prices. I called the 800 # direct, and the prices they have on the web were not different, in case anyone else is considering this option.
Thnks to all for your contributions to this website. It is a great resource that I will add my two cents worth every now and then.
