 Since my 1st review 1 yr and 8 mos ago, it has cost over $4500 to maintain this SUV.Don't get me wrong - it's still very functional & great to drive. It's never left me stranded. But only 15k miles more (67k) of soft driving turned it into a money pit.Best ($$$) Goodyear Fortera TripleTred tires only lasted 29k, lots of brake work, rear bearings (fronts went at 50k), and last & certainly not least, just got a rebuilt tranny.I've owned 12 Fords since 1984, not one a lemon, but this comes the closest.Don't buy one of the '02-'06 models unless you have $$$ to spend on repairs.
