What is the Ford Freestyle?
The Ford Freestyle was a family crossover with the shape and flexibility of a tall wagon. Its raised seating and available third row gave it room for passengers and luggage, while its car based design offered an alternative to a conventional SUV.
The Freestyle shared its D3 platform with the Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego. Ford updated it and renamed it the Taurus X for 2008, keeping its family crossover role while revising its styling and engine.
Generation and engine
The first generation ran from 2005 to 2007. It used a 3.0 L petrol engine in the United States and Canada.
The Freestyle combined a wagon style body with a raised stance and flexible cabin. Its third row folded away to make room for cargo, giving families different ways to use the interior.
