Love the ride and looks of it, have had it a couple of years. After $2000 worth of front end work, $2700 rebuilt transmission, several hundred dollars trying to have electrical malfunctions tracked down & fixed, if one more major component gives out, it's going to be pushed off a cliff. This is my first Ford...and will be my last! Just too unreliable and expensive for me.

This bad boy got me through my senior year of high school and all of college. My parent made a great choice buying this for me. It had plenty of room for hauling around people or stuff. It also had good power for a 4.0 v6. It was a good reliable vehicle and it never gave me any major mechanical problems.

Been a great truck so far. Amazing fuel economy considering how old it is. The little 4.0L needs to downshift when going up a hill, but it usually has enough pep when needed. It's fun enough, and has the sex appeal too. Pretty sound truck as well. Keep her maintained, and she'll treat you great.. don't maintain her, she'll still treat you good

Performance: lots of power to play with and handles good.
Build Quality: They all have a problem in engine valve's.
Appearance: Looks good inside out and looks Tough.
Cost of ownership: Fuel she's to thirsty parts not bad price.
Fun factor: Awesome to drive on road and off road.

It's a great SUV. I like the leather seats, carpet roofs, and basically the entire interior. The suspension is strong. Although, I don't like the AWD. (Uses more gas than needed) and the sound system could be upgraded.
