Ford decided to up the ante for 2013 by offering the 3.5l V6 EcoBoost engine with all-wheel drive in a muscular Sport version. The rest of the range is largely unchanged, powered by the ubiquitous 3.5l V6 or a four-cylinder 2.0l EcoBoost, available in frontwheel drive only. Base models start at $31,399 with XLT, Sport and Limited versions also available. It is an easy to drive, refined SUV with comfortable seating for up to seven people and capable of towing up to 2,268 kg.
