This is an awesome SUV. Perfect size and the V6 has lots of power and it has no problems towing 3000lbs. I got the leather and premium stereo as options and they are great. I've even taken this off road and it does pretty good in light duty offroading(no rock climbing or going over fallen trees). My only complaint is I don't like that ford got rid of the 4 wheel drive lock button like they had on the older models, it really makes a difference when going through deep snow or off road, i really hope they bring it back. I would have gotten the limited but i like the look of the XLT better.
