I've rented a few on the road. Drive nice, comfortable and lots of bells.

Disappointed they don't have a DRW version with a brake controller though.

Because they explode their head gaskets when they overheat even a few degrees.

My wife and I own a 2012 with eco-boost, its one fine machine, and gets about 24 mpg's around town. She loves the seats and all the extras.

Doesnt any engine have that possibility really? I mean to say an engine faults more than others in red line, doesnt mean its bad.
