Nice ride...is it black? 

[nylyon-(Admin) 7,256]

Yes, it's metallic black, very sharp color!

I bet you could get a horse in there if you tried.

  Nice! I tried to get the wife to trade in her Hyundai Santa Fe this year but she wont part with it yet. So now it will be my daughters ride in 18 months. I'll feel better knowing my daughter is in an all-wheel-drive anyway so I guess keeping the Santa Fe might have been the best idea.

  So what are the specs Karl? Motor/tranny/front wheel or all wheel? Is it a lease like the Durango was?

It's a 4wd,  2.0L EcoBoost (Turbo charged direct injection) 6-speed automatic, BIG sunroof, full leather seats, MyTouch Navigation, Parking assist (Parallel parks itself!) reverse camera......  thing is pretty much loaded.  Lots of power from that little 2.0 240 HP, 270 ft/lbs torque. There's very little turbo lag and when it kicks in this little suv really moves.   Very comfortable and quiet and the rear seat has plenty of room for the kids, not as much as the F250, but quite a bit!

And the best part is its made right here in good old Louisville, Kentucky. I see a lot of them on the road here.  But maybe because I hear a lot about them locally!!!

Here we go....

[nylyon-(Admin) 7,256]

Picked it up 3 hours ago. Of course it would be raining.  So far I really like it, too bad tomorrow the wife gets it, probably be the last time I get to drive it

The list price on the window sticker is a little over $37,000.  Through my work I get Ford X-Pricing which makes it a little less, but still expensive.

[Lars 526]

Wow thats good Karl that you gets the X pricing...

i would say it's still "cheap" for a new car....

is this the same car Karl  http://www.finn.no/finn/car/used/object?finnkode=41313023 ?? but only whit a 1.6.. can also get it whit a TDCI 140 hp engine..  almost the same price..

well if it is the same car i have to pay $88240 for it...

Nice ride!  Ford certainly has the premo looks over the years.

I wish that the U.S. would embrace the Diesel engines.  There isn't an option for Diesel, just 3 gas engines, 1.6, 2.5 and 2.0.  In the Titanium, the 2.0 Ecoboost is standard for 2013 (2014 the 1.6 is standard) and the Titanium has no other engine options in 2013, just the 2.0.  This is my first car with HID headlights, and I have to say that I really like them.  I will now seriously consider converting the truck to HID's.

 

It's a nice car, but no way near 88K in price for a Kuga.  I like the European LED lights under the headlights, makes it look like an Audi!

[Lars 526]

ahh i see. well it looks to be the same car as you got Karl... and it looks good whit LED as you say..  but im not paying 88K to get one LOL..

HID lights are really good.

Your new people mover may not be hauling horses but it could use this bumper sticker.

  Nice ride Karl

Fold the seats down and a Wheel Horse will fit right in, just don't let your wife catch you unloading it.
