My experience has been similar. While I’m not ruling out another Ford product, this hasn’t turned into the long term keeper for me I expected it to be. It seems there might be some interesting things coming in the next couple of years & perhaps by then there might be something to buy. I’ve been getting myself healed physically & mentally which has helped & is needed to prepare for a decision. For me what I thought might be a replacement decision in 2030 is perhaps moved ahead to 2025, but we’ll see.
I bought an 82 Subaru GL wagon brand new!....was silver and had orange gauges. Tires were bridgestone AT tires. Consumer reports rated them the best (even back then). It was all a LIE. There engineering, build quality, and interior Sucked. It rusted thru the lower door edges in 18 mos. The engine had worn out main bearings at 70K miles and I changed oil every 3k. Left me on the side of the road 2 times a year...(bad fuel Pumps). Seats fell apart, crap stereo....cardboard headliner........
I test drove a Forester with the same poorly designed boxer engine a couple of years ago. The engine sounded like it was running without oil in it (same crap engine).
No American or italian Manufacturer can compete in todays market except....FORD. Hondas won't last 10 years cause there paint peels off or fades, they all burn oil...fiat....same and worse, famous for crap out the door. Toyota is THE best manufacturer, but there styling and offerings are way limited. Buy a Toyota, you won't have many issues. But Ford is very close to toyota in initial quality and reliability.
But Ford has the Best over all lineup of trucks and cars of anyone. Hybrids you actually want, big ass 4x4 superdutys that get 25 MPG highway, the best and most original PONY car. I could go on and on. NO One but Ford Produces almost a million Trucks a year...EVERY year for 40 years (F Series) All other manufactures put together don't make that! Pick up a consumer reports and they say fords have average reliability....but how do they say that when the model being rated has all red gumballs in all categories.
I still am sorry I bought that Subaru....Fender Flapping Junk. Want proof: Consumer reports says don't buy a used one because even late models can use a quart of oil every 1000-2000 miles. I have never had a Ford that used oil.................Never.
Sorry for the rant.....had to be said

Well, I had several Fords back in the late 70's and early 80's that had issues with valve guides and burped oil at every start up. I gave the Mustang to my niece when she turned 16. Her Dad took it in to have a $500 head replacement done on it. Oil was less than a $1 a quart then. She sold it a year later because it started doing the same thing. To me, it wasn't a big deal. Just add a quart or two of oil in between changes. I still like Fords. They all seem to have their issues with certain models When you are older than dirt like me, you remember when you were lucky to ever see 100K miles and had to change points, plugs, condensers, and wires every two years if you wanted it to run when it was raining or humid out. Todays cars are way more trouble free. They are just way more difficult and expensive to fix when they aren't (IMHO).

I'm a 2022 Bronco Sport owner and I am highly satisfied with the vehicle!...maybe not so much the ADM fee when supply chain was messed up a year ago but still. I am always finding new Bronco Sport attire, a Christmas ornament last year, key chains, and all kinds of other fun Bronco Sport items to enjoy with my awesome new vehicle. I always make sure to wave at all the Broncos and Bronco Sports I see on the road. It feels like an awesome club to be part of.

Cool, right after college I bought a new 1984 Bronco II XLT. It was black with a red strip down the side. Fun rig. Had a full size Bronco in the 90's Black with Eddie Bauer package. Kids were little then, they sitll remember it. Handed off the 2012 Escape to the daughter last year. So now I have thisMe in 1984 vs me in 2023...I was and am satisfied with Ford

Drive the '84 for 12 years. Children came along and it was too hard to put baby seats in the back. I then became a minivan mom ?

HaHa, we had an Aerostar cruiser. It then became the daughters high school car near its end of life. Her and her friends loved it.
