Overview
2007 Ford Freestar is designed to be the safest, most flexible, most powerful and highest-quality minivan Ford has built. With its "Good" rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and five-star rating in government frontal crash tests, Freestar is one of the safest family vehicles around.
Freestar's 4.2-liter V-6 remains the largest engine available in a minivan and boasts the highest torque in its class.
Freestar is available in SE and SEL models. A cargo van version is also available. Freestar is built in Oakville, Ontario.
Design and Equipment
Freestar offers six new exterior colors for 2007, including Windveil Blue Clearcoat, Alloy Clearcoat Metallic, Dune Pearl Clearcoat Metallic, Pewter Clearcoat Metallic, Light Tundra Clearcoat and Silver Frost Clearcoat Metallic. Two interior color choices are available.
Freestar includes seating for up to seven passengers and 27.4 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the third-row seat. When the third-row seat is stowed in the floor and the second-row seats are removed, the rear cargo area expands to 135.7 cubic feet and can accommodate large sheets of work material. Freestar's standard third-row Tailgate Bench Seat can also be placed in a rearward-facing position for use during picnic or tailgating activities.
Dozens of storage features have been engineered into the Freestar, including a large third-row seat bin, 20-ounce beverage holders in the front doors and map pockets hold plenty of kid paraphernalia. The rear sliding doors feature sizable bins for books, toys and other items. The covered compartment on top of the instrument panel is ideal for small items. A covered lower instrument storage bin is standard on all vehicles. The Freestar has cup holders for nine beverages.
Powertrain and Chassis
Freestar's standard 4.2-liter V-6 engine offers 263 pound-feet of torque at 3,650 rpm, leading the minivan class. The engine is paired with a four-speed automatic transmission that has been designed with "fast-acting" hydraulics to help the transmission shift quickly and smoothly.
Making Freestar's cabin very quiet was a top engineering priority. Special attention was paid to the body and door sealing, sound insulation and powertrain mounting technology.
