Helpful Expert Reply:

The front hitch receiver that is designed to fit your 2007 Explorer Sport Trac is the Curt # 31545. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver opening.

The grille guard we offer for your vehicle is the Aries Grille Guard - 1 Piece - Semi-Gloss Black Powder Coated Steel, Item # AA3059.

The problem is both of these items use the same frame rail holes on your Explorer. You would need to either install the front mount hitch or the bull bar, but you will only be able to install one. You can check out the attached installation instructions that show how these items are installed.
