In its development, the Freestar saw the addition of heavier-duty drive axles and larger wheel bearings. The 3.0L and 3.8L V6 engines were both retired in favor of two new engines. In the United States, only the Freestar was powered by a 193 hp 3.9L V6 while an optional 201 hp 4.2L V6 was standard for Canada and export vans. The 3.9L and 4.2L V6 engines were enlarged versions of the long-running 3.8L V6.

In the redesign, the Ford Freestar saw a minor exterior facelift. While retaining much of the roofline of the previous-generation Windstar. In a shift away from the New Edge design language, the Freestar adopted styling elements from several Ford vehicles. Shifting from the trademark curved dashboard of the previous Ford Windstar, the Ford Freestar adopted a flat dashboard. It was sharing many design elements with the then-upcoming Ford Five Hundred. In line with a number of competitive minivans, the Ford Freestar introduced a third-row seat that folded flat into the floor.
