Buy a Hyundai Palisade or Kia Telluride. Probably the 2 best SUV's on the market right now.

You don't even have to do that - the BMW Xs are made here - as are newer Highlander and Lexus RX models.

Ford Motor Company has been suffering for a while now form lack of leadership.

They have lost the true car guys and is run by leftists and environmental wackos. Many in their top management are foreign born and not streeped in what the average American wants in a vehicle but worried about alternate energy and alternate modes of transportation such as autonomous vehicles and bicycles.

They have gone off the reservation.

I used to drive new Fords pretty religiously. They lost me around 2005, with all that electronic crap. Can't remember the last time I was in a Ford stealership.

Just a bunch of shite to go wrong. They can't even get the parking brake and transmission to work properly.

Imagine it drives up the prices too.

That sucks. Those are nice looking vehicles. Interior is pretty badass.


The aviator is also RWD which I prefer.

And yet, Ford is stopping manufacture of cars to concentrate on trucks and suvs...not a good start!

Seems like the just settled a big class action concerning their Edge system being a steaming pile of non working shite.

When it comes to Ford, you are lucky to have any kind of start.

Pretty sure these are made in Chicago.

Or assembled. Whatever Ford is calling their North American production these days.

Going to be fun to watch these when they become all electric in a few years.
