    The car is dependable so far. I’ve had several issues that were covered under the warranty. One that wasn’t is the windshield cowling. The gaskets area is fused with the abs cowling and the ultraviolet degraded the gasket where it joins the windshield. I replaced it myself and has to buy the part $217.00 at the dealership. If they installed it would have been an extra $149. Simple installation, the hardest part was finding the wiper arm removal tool, found the right one on Amazon. YouTube has instructions. It’s not an uncommon problem. Ford needs to step up and cover this problem. I’ve owned over 30 cars in my 72 years and never had this happen. Comfortable SUV, nice vehicle and I would buy another. And probably will when the market stabilizes.

    Everything I thought and more. Very smooth and easy ride with outstanding features. Body massage while you drive and heated steering wheel among others. Safe & secure driving experience.

    Excellent SUV for the money. Plenty of space. Good drivetrain. Could us a couple additional features such as driver 1 and 2 selection and blind spot warning, but overall a fine vehicle
