The Ford Freestar, a minivan produced by Ford Motor Company from 2004 to 2007, represents a significant shift in the company's minivan strategy. Replacing the aging Windstar, the Freestar debuted with a larger, more spacious interior and a more modern design. It was built on the same platform as the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable of the same era, sharing many components with these models. The Freestar offered seating for up to seven passengers, with a flexible second-row seating arrangement that allowed for easy access to the third row. This versatility made it a popular choice for families and those who needed to transport multiple passengers or cargo.

The Freestar was available with a choice of two engines: a 3.9L V6 and a 4.2L V6. Both engines were paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The Freestar was also equipped with a range of standard features, including power windows and locks, air conditioning, and a CD player. Optional features included a sunroof, leather upholstery, and a navigation system. While the Freestar was well-regarded for its spacious interior and versatility, it faced competition from other popular minivans of the era, such as the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. The Freestar's relatively low fuel economy and lack of a V8 engine option also hampered its sales. Despite these challenges, the Freestar remained a solid option for families looking for a spacious and comfortable minivan. Its robust build quality and reliable powertrains made it a popular choice for those who needed a vehicle that could handle the demands of family life.
