Introduction
The family hauler, month to month. Without the seven-year loan.
Seating for up to seven, up to 5,000 lbs of towing, and Ford’s driver-assist suite standard, on a month-to-month subscription instead of a multi-year note.
Room for the whole crew
Seven seats across three rows, with available second-row captain’s chairs that trade a seat for easier third-row access. It’s the family-hauler footprint without the family-hauler financing.
Tech that pulls its weight
A 13.2-inch touchscreen with Google built-in and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 12.3-inch digital cluster, and Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ standard, blind-spot monitoring and stop-and-go adaptive cruise included.

For the years you need the space
Three rows usually mean a seven-year loan. This one runs month to month, maintenance included, cancel with 14 days' notice, keep the space only as long as the crew needs it.
