Detailed Review:
A fantastic driving experience! A smooth ride, and easy handling make this car feel smaller than it really is...Power sterring has excellent 'feel', and although you will have some trouble in parking lots, this will be the ONLY place you notice the size. I have taken this vehicle off-road and am very impressed with the ground clearance and handling. You will find it too large for really small trails, but it is up to the challenge otherwise. Ford has had a couple of recalls, but both were minor. One was for the lug nuts(!) and the other for a windshield wiper switch. Response in both cases was excellent.
Fit and finish are superb, and interior details are great! No one else is close in this class of SUV. Fuel economy can be as high as 17MPG if you drive it like a truck and NOT like a sports car.
