I purchased the just launched Ford Endeavour Thunder Plus 3 litre engine with four wheel drive option in April 2008. The car has done 85000 kmps with me and has proven to be very sturdy, reliable, comfortable, delivering an outdsatnding mileage of 8.25 diesel in city conditions. The power of the car in first gear has to be driven to be believed. This car is a true off roader and sails smoothly on the mud tracks adjacent to highways where other cars will fear to even park. The optional 4 x 4 works like a dream in thick sand or even when the front tire goets into an open manhole.effortlessly pulling the beast out.
We have done Goa, Kerala, Bangalore, Ahmedabad several times and the reliability of this SUV is unlike most. Even the fortunners, CRVs and Pajeros have a second thought when they see the Thunder Plus in their rear view. The car overtakes like a dream. Most of the Indian SUV’s are half baked and not suited for offroading.a bit like Yusuf Pathan or Suresh Raina our part time trundlers. The Ford Endeavour Thunder Plus is a Kapil Dev - the real all rounder!
