That's a really good question. Loyal passenger car buyer here (going out on limb that Territory was 'car-like', which it was), the replacement for these Fords is European and 2 to 2.5x the price, the ingredients previously were large, RWD/AWD, car not separate chassis, power which used to be 6 cylinders but now is more open to interpretation, reliability, longevity eg 20 year lifespan, simple mechanical, parts and dealership availability.

What Ford fits that bill today? Could be the Explorer, the Lincoln Aviator maybe? Would Bronco/Bronco Sport be this configuration?
