Ford carries its minivan into 2005 virtually unchanged. Mercury has a version called Monterey. Freestar comes in S, SE, SES, SEL, and Limited trim levels. All have 7-passenger capacity and include 2nd-row 2-passenger bench seat or two 2nd-row bucket seats. The 3rd-row bench folds into the floor. The 3rd-row bench also flips for rear-facing "tailgate" seating under the open liftgate. Power operation is available for the sliding side doors. S, SE, and SES models have a 193-hp 3.9-liter V6. SEL and Limited models use a 201-hp 4.2-liter V6. A 4-speed automatic is the sole transmission. All-wheel drive is not offered, but antiskid control is available. Antilock 4-wheel disc brakes are standard. Head-protecting curtain side airbags that cover all three seating rows are optional; they are designed to deploy in a side impact or when sensors detect an impending rollover. Rear DVD entertainment is optional. Options include a rear cargo organizer and 17-inch alloy wheels vs. standard 16s. Freestar is also available in 2-seat Cargo trim.
