No idea… Either way that doesn’t take away from all said about the Titanium. 
 

What I do you know is over the last 40 years I’ve driven luxury German cars and SUVs… I wasn’t going to pay the prices they want for them over here because out in the countryside there isn’t a lot of support- however anywhere I go in Thailand, I can find a Ford dealer.

 

But hey, you stick to your guns.

 

Cheers

Over the last 40 years, I’ve driven a Ford Cortina, owned a Ford Escort 1.6, Ford Laser 1.3 and most recently in Thailand, the Ford Ranger 2.2 XLT. My off-road day in the UK was also a Ford Escort.

 

I’ve had few problems, nothing major. But it’s definitely not what I would consider a premium vehicle in terms of build quality. Having owned a Lexus, Audi and Benz, I’m amazed at how some Chinese companies have managed to build pretty much the same quality at much more affordable prices, even after taking into account the tariffs imposed on the luxury brands.

I’ve had isolated issues with Benz and BMWs over the years- but I also had many with no problems. I don’t think any class or brand is immune. Same as Ford (during the fix or repair daily years), there was a time when no one would buy a Jaguar or Audi because they spent more time in the shop than the road. 

I see you’ve driven a lot of troublesome Fords… I did have a late 90s Lincoln Navigator with all the bells and whistles that I quite liked until gas prices shot up, then sold it to the highest ebay bidder… yet it was a Ford and I had no issues with it- granted only had it for two years.

 

I do my homework before spending money. Titanium has a good track record and I like the integrated tech for performance and comfort. PPV suspension fits my life like a glove and I’ve used four wheel mode a few times in the mud, also I fear no highway pothole. It’s as quiet and smooth as any car I’ve driven- the sound system rivals my last Benz. Remote start isn’t bad either when it’s hot outside 95% of the year!

 

I’m a car fan-boy who digs tech… there are a lot impressive vehicles on the market and I love it… however if an EMP goes off all the tech won’t work and we’ll all be roughing it anyhow🫏😀

I always liked the Ford Cortina from many years ago.
