Many Indian consumers consider the Ford Endeavour to be one of the more powerful and capable full-size SUVs available on the market today. It was built with a robust body-on-frame construction that gave it a commanding presence and provided a comfortable ride over long distances. As a full-size SUV, the Endeavour could handle difficult driving situations and long road trips with ease. Due to this capability as well as its lack of a crossover-type construction, the Endeavour appealed to a number of consumers who were looking for a true SUV versus a soft road-biased style of SUV. While the Ford Endeavour is no longer in production in India, it continues to be very popular in the used vehicle market, primarily among those who are looking for a dependable and heavy-duty SUV that has the ability to accommodate both off-road driving and long trips. There is still significant interest in the Ford Endeavour because of its superior build quality, comfort in the cabin, and strong diesel engine. This SUV is a solid alternative to the Toyota Fortuner because of its many similar attributes. The Ford Endeavour is still very much appreciated by owners because of the way that it is built to last, the stability of the vehicle while driving on highways, and its ability to navigate through poor road conditions.

"You can throw anything at this SUV, and it will take care of you and your family. The 4x4 model has extremely good off-road capabilities, but this comes at the cost of sacrificing its ease of use on the smaller roads of large cities. "
"A great feature of this SUV is that the third seat is usable, and it is very unusual for an SUV to have this. The ride is incredibly smooth, which makes it perfect for family trips. The interior of the vehicle does have a bit of an old look to it, but overall, it feels quite durable. "
"I have done quite a few long-distance highway trips and drive on the worst of the dirt and gravel roads in my Endeavour, and it has been super comfortable and solid throughout. The mileage on my Endeavour is typical for this size SUV; however, it would also be higher than average and is simply not good at all for a large SUV."
"Whatever you throw at this SUV, it can handle. The 4x4 version has outstanding off-road capability. The trade-off is that it is not designed for small city roads. "
"The Endeavour is my first choice for long-distance highway trips. I love the power of the diesel engine, and it is nice and quiet in the cabin when driving smoothly. The cost of maintenance on this vehicle is on the expensive side, but overall, it hasn't been that bad. "
