2005 Ford Freestar 5XT

2005 FORD FREESTAR SEL 7 PASSENGER VAN, FRONT WHEEL DRIVE, 4.2 LITER OHV EFI ENGINE, 4-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION W/ OD, CLOTH FRONT BUCKET SEATS, DELUXE CROSSBARS, DVD ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM, 16 ALUMINUM PAINTED WHEELS, AM/FM STEREO, CD PLAYER. The Ford Freestar was a seven-passenger minivan. Three trim levels were offered: SE, SEL and Limited. The Freestar could also be had in a cargo van body style, making it ideal for contractors needing a light-duty hauler. Ford's minivan wasn't completely without merit. Safety is an important factor in minivans, and in this area, the Freestar didn't come up short. It earned a perfect five stars in NHTSA frontal crash tests, and mothers and their pint-sized soccer stars were protected with features like standard stability control and optional side curtain airbags. The base SE trim was reasonably well equipped, with air-conditioning, full power accessories, a CD player and keyless entry all standard. The SEL added tri-zone air-conditioning, a power driver seat and second-row captain's chairs. The top-of-the-line Limited included upgrades such as chrome wheels, leather upholstery and automatic climate control. Two engines were offered. A 3.9-liter V6 for the SE provided 193 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque. The SEL and Limited trims got a 4.2-liter V6 that generated 201 hp and 263 lb-ft of torque. In editorial reviews, the Ford Freestar earned praise for having reasonable around-town power and a forgiving ride. The Freestar remained pretty much unchanged for its production duration, so buyers shopping for one on the used market will find few differences between the model years.
