Great truck.

The only reason I sold it, was because I inherited a 2017 car. Insurance on two vehicles in my city is overpriced.

Very reliable car .

The guy test driving it tried to mess with the transmission by switching from D1 to D2 while in motion. Watch out when letting someone drive your vehicle.

Typical Ford pick-up truck. It just keeps going.

Body is in excellent condition . New airbag . Onboard computer is a rebuilt less than a year old. New tires ?2. Only $1300.00 Needed brake work but otherwise it is great. It has served well since 2005.

Very good lil truck

I bought this truck new. The brake power thing had to be replaced at year 3 or so. Thats it. I change the oil faithfully every 3k miles. It doesnt burn any oil. This year year 12, I did a major tune up ( spark plugs, air filter, gas filter, spark plug wires) and also started using fuel additives to clean fuel injectors. But no major problems. Mine is a v6 Edge. The only thing that has always bothered me with this truck is how rough it rides. Not confy at all. It will take you from point A to point B for sure ,but be redy to feel every bump in the road. I will buy another Ford truck, perhaps a F150, in the near future.

Always gets the job done

This car has gotten me from point A to point B for the last 12 years no problems ever. The only time I ever need to take it into the shop is to get oil changes. Would definitely recommend!

Great Truck

I have owned trucks most of my life. This truck has been one of my better ones. Definitely happier with Ford than any other maker
