Come on ford
By Lydia | on Tuesday, September 22, 2020
My biggest complaint is how hard it is to set up bluetooth devices. There isn't just 1 button. Theres a series of 4 buttons you need to get working prior to driving to hopefully get bluetooth. Just such a headache that the suv lost major points in my book for that. The headrests are those awful ones that push your head forward so they kill my neck on long drives.

Love for Mable
By Humnbrd23 | on Saturday, May 29, 2021

Thank you to the couple that traded her in with only 64000 miles.…
