The Ford Freestar is a minivan made by the Ford
Motor Company. It replaced the Ford Windstar for
the 2004 model year. Although it is billed as "all
new", it basically is a revamped Windstar.
The name change accommodates Ford's strategy to
rename their cars to words beginning in F. The Freestar,
along with its twin the Mercury Monterey are both
made in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.
The
Freestar offers a place for up to seven passengers,
it features an electronically controlled 4-speed
automatic transmission as the part of standard
equipment, and is available with two gasoline-powered
V6 engines. The smaller 3.9 L developes a maximum
power of 193 hp (144 kW) at 4500 RPM and 240 ft·lbf
(325 N·m) of torque at 3750 RPM, while
the larger 4.2 L offers a power of 201 hp (150
kW) at 4,250 rpm and 263 ft·lbf (357 N·m)
of torque at 3650 RPM.
