This vehicle is ideal for adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts who demand serious off-road capability and a customizable open-air experience, without completely sacrificing daily drivability.
Strengths
Exceptional off-road capability with standard 4x4 and G.O.A.T. Modes™.
Removable doors and roof offer an open-air driving experience.
Strong 2.3L EcoBoost engine provides a good balance of power and efficiency.
Comfortable on-road manners for a rugged SUV.
Tradeoffs
Noticeable wind noise at highway speeds.
Fuel economy, while competitive for its class, is not a strong point compared to less rugged SUVs.
Some IIHS crash test results, particularly for rear-passenger protection and headlight performance, are not top-tier.
What you might regret
Those who prioritize quiet highway cruising, maximum fuel efficiency, or top-tier rear passenger safety ratings from IIHS should consider other options.
