The Ford Freestar is a minivan that was manufactured by the Ford Motor Company from 2004 until November 2006. It replaced the Ford Windstar for the 2004 model year. The name change accommodated Ford's strategy to rename all their cars to words beginning in 'F'. The Freestar and its twin, the Mercury Monterey, were built in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.
The Freestar can accommodate up to seven passengers and features an electronically controlled 4-speed automatic transmission as part of the van's standard equipment. Five trim levels were available: base, SE, Sport, SEL, and Limited. In the United States, the Freestar was available with two different gasoline-powered V6 engines. The smaller 3.9 L (available only in the United States) develop a maximum power of 193 hp at 4500 rpm and 240 lbft (6096 Nm) of torque at 3750 rpm, while the larger 4.2 L produces 201 hp at 4,250 rpm and 263 lbft (6680.2 Nm) of torque at 3650 rpm. While the smaller engine came on the base model in the United States, the larger 4.2 L engine is standard on all models in Canada and Mexico.
