This comprehensive PDF file contains the complete, original owner’s manual for the 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Completely redesigned for the 2007 model year (skipping 2006) and riding on a longer, wider, and significantly stiffer frame derived from the standard Explorer, the second-generation Sport Trac offered a much-improved ride, a redesigned cabin, and, for the first time, an available V8 engine. This detailed guide is absolutely essential for owners to fully utilize the vehicle’s unique combination of an SUV cabin and an open cargo bed, safely operate its advanced handling and towing systems, and perform the necessary preventative maintenance to keep this capable SUT on the road.
The manual covers the following key topics in detail:
- Vehicle Overview and Cargo Versatility: A detailed introduction to the Sport Trac’s unique cabin and bed layout. It provides crucial instructions on maximizing passenger comfort and cargo volume, specifically detailing the operation of the folding rear seats (which create a flat load floor in the cabin). Crucially, it extensively details the operation and weight limits of the dent-proof composite cargo bed, including the three integrated, weather-resistant storage bins located beneath the bed floor, and the available factory tonneau cover.
- Safety Systems: Essential details on safety features, including proper seatbelt usage, the advanced airbag system (including the Safety Canopy™ side-curtain airbags with rollover sensor), and the correct installation of child safety seats. It also covers the operation of the standard AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ (RSC®), a critical feature for a vehicle with a higher center of gravity.
- Instruments and Controls: A full breakdown of the dashboard layout (shared heavily with the standard Explorer). It explains every warning light on the instrument cluster, how to navigate the message center, how to operate the exterior lighting, and how to use the steering wheel-mounted controls safely.
- Comfort and Entertainment: Detailed instructions for navigating the interior convenience features designed for a comfortable ride. It covers the manual or automatic climate control systems, the factory audio systems (including available SiriusXM satellite radio and an Audiophile system with an integrated subwoofer), and the operation of the power rear window (a signature Sport Trac feature).
- Driving, Towing, and Off-Roading: Best practices for starting and driving the vehicle. It thoroughly explains the operation of the 5-speed automatic transmission (V6) or the 6-speed automatic transmission (V8). For 4WD models, it explains how to safely engage the electronic Control Trac transfer case (4×4 Auto, 4×4 High, 4×4 Low). Most importantly, it provides vital safety guidelines, weight limits, and procedures for safely towing heavy trailers (up to 6,800 lbs when properly equipped with the V8).
- Vehicle Care and Maintenance: Step-by-step scheduled maintenance guidance. It includes instructions for checking vital fluids on the 4.0L SOHC V6 or the powerful 4.6L 3-valve V8 engine, checking tire pressures, replacing filters, deciphering the under-hood and interior fuse box diagrams, and handling roadside emergencies (such as safely using the jack and accessing the underbody spare tire).
Whether you need to remember the exact sequence for fully opening the power rear window, understand how to engage the 4×4 Low range, or locate the correct fuse for the trailer lighting, this manual is a vital resource for mastering your 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac.
