| 2006 | 4dr SUV 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic RWD |
With discounts it is very reasonably priced for what you get. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic RWD |
Lots of car for the money. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Great value. Bad for Ford, great for us. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
With the incentives, buying this SUV felt like I was getting a huge bargain. By my 5th year of ownership, I felt like I got ripped off based on the cost to maintain this vehicle. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Too expensive in the market compared to more reliable trucks available like Honda Pilots. |
