Most Reliable Car I've Owned
I purchased my Endeavor back in December 2005 and fell in love with the gas mileage that it gets. I can fill up the 21.4 gallon tank and drive to Charlotte, NC.,and still would have the tank register between full and 3/4 of a tank of gas.

The best SUV in it's class, hands down.
I hadn't even considered this car before the dealer suggested it (where are the ads?). I needed a fair amount of towing capacity for my boat and a lot of interior space for my 2 large dogs and 4 adults as I frequently travel a few hundred miles for camping. I'd assumed I'd need an Explorer or something similar, but oh was I glad to find this. It has ton's of interior space, similar to an Explorer, but incredible gas mileage. Easily over 20 mpg on the highway. It feels sturdy and well built and handles like a car. That was actually the dealmaker. My wife test drove it after driving other trucklike SUVs that made her uncomfortable and immediately pronounced, "this is the one." I should mention that the towing capacity for the out-of-the-box, base model Endeavor is 5500 pounds, 2000 pounds more than an Explorer. So it's small boat ready, without an engine upgrade (you need to buy the hitch). My only complaints are that the bumpers are painted without an option for unpainted as on other SUVs, meaning they get scratched up if you actually use an SUV like you're supposed to. Also, the interior is nothing to gush over?pretty basic, but very comfortable. I have a bad disc and long road trips don't mess me up at all. Having driven many other smaller and larger SUV's, I can say that this is the very best, in any class, hands down.

Unsurpassed Value for an SUV
I purchased the 2005 Endeavor for several key reasons. First, the value for the product is incredible. The Endeavor is a reasonably priced AWD SUV. The exterior is stylish and sophisticated in appearance. It has the abilities of the great AWD/4WD vehicles, but handles like a car. It is the most comfortable and smooth riding SUV I have owned. I live in Iowa and must be able to travel in every type of weather conditions. The AWD Endeavor has always been up to meeting the task. It xxxxxxthrough snow effortlessly and handles well on ice covered roads. Mechanically, the Endeavor is a sound vehicle. I have not had a single mechanical issue arise. I have followed the scheduled maintenance and simply put gas in and go. I would recommend the AWD Endeavor to anyone looking for a great SUV at and affordable price with unsurpassed value.
