Worth knowing
- 2019: owner complaints spike (500, mostly the transmission).
- Listen for rattles on a cold start that can point to cam phaser wear, and fuel economy is thirsty.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the XLT with its main equipment package for heated seats, a power liftgate and blind-spot monitoring. CarPlay is standard, and 2022 and later add a larger screen.
On the test drive
Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
