07 explorer sport trac

Schmids5.3l · December 9, 2006

I was at work today and was reading the paper and in the auto section they had a page about the 07 Ford Exploder Sport trac. I guess it now has an option with the 292 hp 4.6l w/ a 6 speed auto. They were bragging about its 0-60 time being 7.5 seconds. That got me wondering the 1/4 mile time, which i googled and found was 16 flat, and other low 16's. Then I saw an older Sport trac on the way home from work and wondered what my 0-60 time was (rough estimate by counting in head ), I couldnt get traction, and lately the truck spins out when shifting from 1st to 2nd. I guess its from me takeing the spare tire off (heavier than I assumed) and tail gate. It used to chip from 1st to 2nd, now its a half second roast. Traction control is over rated, it didnt help

Anyways here's a few links for the new sport trac.

Im not sure why their bragging about this things acceleration so much. It was all over the paper, and when I google this thing, the 1/4 and 0-60 times are in each article. Still gotta drop 30 grand to get the 4.6l in it....

It handles better in parking lots, and gets better mileage.

good thing the Adrenalin never made it to production...that thing looked extremely impressive (i actually would have really liked to have seen it make it)

Today I got the chance to try. Traction was pretty good actually, only spun for a second on launch. With no brake standing or anything I counted 6 flat in my head. Might have a buddy ride with and have them use a cell phone with a stop watch lol

I think I read somewere it was around 14 in the city. Might as well get a V10, if Ford still puts them in their 3/4 / 1 Tons.

MY 0-60 is right around 6 seconds.

Well its not very accurate, I did count in my head. I've got my time slip posted on here somewere in this drag forum. 3rd gear is when I start suckin', right after 75mph, give or take. I thought SS's ran 0-60 in 5.7ish, a bit slower than SRT10 rams? Their mid 5's.
