I have driven two so far. They don't come with a solid rear step bumper, so I build the rear tow bar. I would say its strongpoint is the engine and drivetrain. Had two automatics but I didn't like the gear changes at all. Also, when you close the door the hood jumps. I would say the older model looks stronger than they new one. Also, although being a commercial vehicle, the dash could have done with a better grade of plastic. Seems thin. But then again I've realised all the new commercial vehicles have the same one piece hard plastic dash. The 2.5 is not to trusted. When I took it out on the road to deliver back to ford, I felt like the power response was not there, so I mashed a bit and then she fishtailed. I would say overall a nice vehicle. I am getting one soon to outfit it with complete crashbar, sideboards and rear. Bumper. Can't wait.
