2007 Ford Freestyle 5XT

This is a beautiful RED 2007 FORD FREESTYLE AUTOMATIC CVT V6 3.0 LITER AWD Vehicle with 94836 miles.Freestyle offers four packages for the 2007 model year. SEL models offer an Interior Convenience Group that includes AM/FM with an MP3-capable, six-disc, in-dash CD player; automatic headlamps; dual electronic automatic temperature control; fog lamps; and outside-temperature display. An Interior Power Package also is available on SEL models, which includes an eight-way power driver seat, adjustable pedals and a four-way power passenger seat. In addition to the standard side-impact air bags and three-row Safety Canopy side air curtain with rollover detection coming later in the model year, the SEL Safety and Security Package includes, an anti-theft perimeter alarm, perimeter lighting and heated exterior mirrors. Powertrain and Chassis Freestyle s power comes from Ford s proven Duratec 30 3.0-liter, V-6 engine, matched to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Thecombination of stiff chassis, high-torque V-6 and wide-ratio transmission adds up to surprising performance and drivability for a vehicle that can haul passengers or cargo in any weather reestyle s CVT offers advantages not found in traditional automatic transmissions. It uses two variable-size pulleys one for input from the engine, the other for output to the drive wheels connected by a steel link belt. It varies the effective sizes of the two pulleys to meet the driving demands of the moment. Electronic powertrain controls, including a sensor on the electronic throttle, constantly monitor the demand for power. When more torque is needed for acceleration or to maintain speed up a steep hill, the transmission seamlessly responds by creating the right drive ratio from an infinite number of possibilities, allowing the Duratec 30 engine to operate at optimum performance. The Duratec 30 doesn t require a tune-up in its first 100,000 miles. Freestyle offers an optional all-wheel-drive system. This application uses an electronically controlled, electrohydraulic, limited-slip coupling positioned just ahead of the rear differential to transfer available torque to the rear wheels whenever the front wheels slip. Electronic controls that gather information from the antilock braking system and other sensors allow the all-wheel-drive system to react within 50 milliseconds much faster and more seamlessly than systems that rely on viscous couplings. Traction control is standard on vehicles equipped with all-wheel drive. When all-wheel drive isn t needed, Freestyle functions as a front-wheel-drive vehicle.

Safety and Security In addition to earning top marks in front- and side-crash tests, the 2007 Freestyle is equipped with standard seat-mounted side air bags and Ford s innovative Safety Canopy air curtain system (late availability). The Safety Canopy uses rollover detection, an industry-exclusive safety feature that offers head protection for all three rows of outboard occupants in side impacts and rollovers. The Freestyle is a top performer in its category in the government s rollover stability test as well. Freestyle s side-impact protection raises the industry bar by using laser-welding techniques for side pillars that help redirect crash forces underneath the vehicle s seats. This energy is further channeled through a cross-car tube. Ford also breaks new safety ground with Freestyle s adaptive steering column, which collapses horizontally at two speeds, based on the driver position. Air bag deployment is tailored to the position of the driver
