Bought it used.
The A/C compressor is going out.
The 4x4 doesn't work.
The back speaker is blown out (common problem, I'm told). And yesterday, the FM took a dive. Curiously, the AM works (and I hate talk radio. Figures!).
Really bumpy, uncomfortable ride. And now I fear for my life with the alledged roll-over risk. At least the tires have been replaced.
Interior is nice. Quiet now, too.
$25.00 a week for gas is no picnic, either.
Wouldn't buy an SUV again.
$25 a week for gas, AND YOU COMPLAIN! Try living in Britain. My Vauxhall Frontera (Amigo) uses average £50 a week during 2001 August holiday season and my Mondeo (Contour) averages £15 a week all year round! Tony Blair has a more convincing smile than George Bush though don't you think? Perhaps this is why we continue to put up with these rip-off gas prices.
WOW!!! Only $25 a week? I spend over $40 a week.(If I don't go anywhere out of my county) The only reason I can think of is that I have to keep my pedal to the floor to keep the 5000lb beast up to highway speeds. Ford really should have put at least a 4.6L V8 in these cars.
