| Ford Explorer Sport Trac Fuel Economy: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUT 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
99 Dodge Durango with 5.9 V8 got better fuel economy with same driving habits. Expected better with smaller V8 and 6 speed trans. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUT 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
highway mileage is very good, better than my lighter V6 Ranger; 21mpg on the highway @ 75mph on flat road. City, with the remote start in winter, with the AWD kicking in, and lead foot acceleration nets me 13mpg. A light foot can get 15mpg city |
| 2002 | 4dr SUT 203-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD |
I think we all wish for 30 mpd-thats unrealistic when you have 10000+ lbs on the road when towing. |
