They certainly have room for improvement, but then I feel ALL vehicles do.
But true offroad, not just driving down a gravel road, it is impressive for a completely stock vehicle.
My experience with Ford vehicles the past 7 years also has left me extremely doubtful about their build quality. I used to drive a Ford truck personally, and had more as company trucks. Not one left in my garage ( except my mustang, but no trucks ) and the same for work vehicles, no more Fords. Front end parts worn out so badly that they death wobble in 6 months, shocks so cheap they may as well not be installed, but much worse than those issues, ecoboost engines that are a ticking time bomb. It is not a question of will it self destruct, but just a matter of when. Never had any engine problems in my vehicles before or since, but my F150 seemed to live on the hook of a tow truck and in the dealership waiting for more repairs. There were other problems galore, like the interior got soaked every time it rained, doors that won't open in the winter, rattles, but the engine being made of something about as durable as soft swiss cheese, is just unacceptable in my opinion.
Ford has lost me, and I was a long time customer, who owned numerous vehicles that had the blue oval on the grill.
