General Comments:
I've had it since brand new, and has never disappointed me. No major problems yet, and I'm commuting 1000 miles a week in it.
Comfortable seats, nice interior.
Never had a problem towing, and hauling heavy loads, and the transmission still shifts almost like new.
Definitely seems more worth it. And very reliable for a gas powered engine. Seems more reliable than a lot of the diesels Ford, and other manufacturers are putting out, that have lots of problems, and spend a lot of time off the road.
I'm keeping it until it becomes a problem, and I have to start putting a lot of money into it.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
