How it scores for you10 scores
Nine-thousand-pound towing and eight-seat space in a proven body-on-frame package; the price is punishing thirst and a dated cabin.
Recalled about as often as cars of the same model years; 3 of its 5 recalls were serious. About 7% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions.
5-star overall NHTSA crash rating (frontal 5, side 5, rollover 4).
About $3,600 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 11% of cars we track.
18.6 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 27% of other SUVs we track.
Eight seats and vast room, though the third row sits low
365-hp EcoBoost has real shove, but this is a near-6,000-lb body-on-frame hauler
SYNC 2-era screens and few modern assists; the cabin design dates to 2007
Soft, quiet, and big; usable third row though the interior feels dated
SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.
Rated to tow 9,200 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
