Looks are ok to great, love the new front... which will trickle to the ranger series.
love the black ceiling.
Space is not class leading but comfy enough.
Like the placements of cabin lights in the rear and middle cabins, and is it me or the lights are already LED?
Like the small grip and feel of the steering wheel.
Lots of toys and gimmicks for the titanium ( puddle light. illuminated scuff plates, backing camera, 20 in wheels... etc.
Love the big step board.
Dont like:
Lack of GPS, USB movie player in the Head unit, at this price, it should be a given.
Beige interior
2nd row tumble seats are hard to use.
A lot of internet and feedback about Fords reliability and CASA service and parts horror stories.
Bottom line, Ford has a winner here, right now, Alabang is saying the tag line of no DI's, but if they start doing the DI's they once did when the Explorer was hot, I'm sure a lot wont buy, specially if the new Fort and Monty prove to be winners or good alternatives.
Whats the the 4X2 AT variant to buy?
I'd go for the Ambiente 4x2 at 1.4M
why?
The Titanium is about 240k more and believe me it's all just additional toys and features I can live with out, I'd use that money to but aftermarket rims I like and a good AV unit.
The Trend is about 140k more than the Ambiente, with just upgrades int he gadget and toys department, again I'd buy a good AV unit and maybe rims from the left over cash.
well this is just me....but of course if you got money to splurge, then go for it, its your money..your rules.
