- • Robust and durable construction, suitable for demanding tasks.
- • Strong aftermarket support and high resale value.
Cons:

- • Large size can make maneuvering and parking challenging in urban areas.
- • Some older V8 engines (e.g., 5.4L Triton) had known reliability issues (spark plugs, cam phasers).
- • Interior materials on lower trims can feel basic compared to some rivals.
- • Ride quality, while good for a truck, is still truck-like and not car-smooth.
