The 2004 Ford Freestar was launched as a successor to the aging Windstar minivan. From its inception, the Freestar suffered from something of an identity crisis: described as both a 'van' and a 'wagon' in Ford's marketing materials, it was also sometimes lumped in with the SUV offerings from Dearborn.
The Freestar may have been an idea whose time had come...and already gone by the time it was rolled out. Although many suburban moms had loved their Windstars in the '90s, the market for large family passenger vehicles had changed pretty dramatically by 2004.
Drivers who were looking for lots of room at a relatively low curbweight, and who didn't mind giving up some agility, did find the '04 Ford Freestar to have some advantages over comparable SUVs. Because it was relatively low to the ground, the Freestar was easier to get in and out of (and easier to customize with ramps and lifts for drivers with disabilities).
The 2004 Freestar came in cargo van and passenger van body styles, and in Standard and Limited trims. Drivers and reviewers praised the Freestar for its quiet ride, thanks to some high-tech acoustical engineering and insulation from Ford. The '04 Freestar seated seven, and had a cargo capacity of 137.8 cubic feet (with seats removed). Gas mileage was a respectable 18 mpg city, 23 mpg highway.
4.1 Overall rating
(14 reviews)It's a shame they no longer make this van. This was an incredibly reliable van, well built, awesome power/handling. We hauled 7 people + luggage in this van and it was a comfortable trip. I honestly don't think Toyota even comes close to the performance of this van.
A very driver friendly auto with just enough creature comforts to make any trip pleasant. The instrument cluster is easy to read the power features are essential(especially pedals) and seating with reclining bench and fold away third seat is delightful. Overall, it is a pleasure driving this vehicle locally and long distance.
The ONLY way to own a minivan is with a 4.2L V6. Decent performance, relatively good handling. Mileage could be better. Handles slick roads very well. Not the "coolest" ride but works great for transporting the kids and their friends or even hauling cargo with the seats folded down.
Handling is kind of heavy for a minivan - feels more like you're drivng a full-size van
while fuel economy is all that counts today, this van looks after safety and comfort, although the van has issues it is an all and all good buy. but get a carfax before buying...ford need to return in the minivan race... i hate dodge caravans and the rice vans are WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!!!
