- 2007 Sport Trac Limited
Hi all, I just bought an 07 Sport Trac from my dad, who couldn't drive it due to health issues. He bought it used a few years ago. It has 118K, its a V8, 4WD, 4.6L, leather seats, moon roof; Some random questions:
1. It says "Limited" on the back, but the odometer display is shorter, as seen on the XLT. The title says XLT, maybe the Limited plate on the back is a mistake?
2. He had work done on it, brakes, serp belt, blower motor, oil changes and more, BUT the 100K maintenance has not been done. What's the most important 100K work I should get my mechanic to do first?
3. This car was first used up North in PA, so salty road conditions. The first week I had it, the tail pipe about fell off due to rust. When it was on the lift at the muffler place, OH MAN there's a ton of rust down there. The spare tire rim looked like mush. I plan on taking it soon to my mechanic, but are there any important things I should know about these trucks and rust? (Carfax says this is not reported as flood damage)
