It's a Ford. Most people trade them in after 4-5 years at most.

That being said, this thing is a toy. It's not the kind of thing people keep around like a 4Runner, Suburban, Land Cruiser, or work van. So the reliability problems with Ford may not really matter that much.

Well this sucks. The highest option engine is a 2.7L. So no V8.

That may be true but this thing has damn near been in production for 3 years and Ford has not pulled the trigger until now. I think the typical new model issues may have been worked out a while back and a 2.7 Eco in one of these things is going to be a pretty serious off road machine.

They had to start over after a few years of design work. Apparently the first version didn't go well in focus groups.

Apparently you can’t get a manual with the 2.7l v6, only the 2.3l 4 cylinder. Pretty lame.

So it's not a serious Wrangler competitor.

That sucks.

Otherwise, they nailed it on the looks thus far. The Bronco Sport doesn't really count.
