The only trim levels with the 3.5 ecoboost are the Sport, ST and Platinum, right?

It's been over a year since I've gone in to work every day, and I've been offered the opportunity to work from home permanently. So rather than having a truck sitting and rarely driven, I'll have two vehicles that just sit (three if you count the P-car). I'm thinking of selling the pickup and the Jetta, and buying one vehicle, large enough to pull a trailer, and comfortable enough take a trip to visit the granddaughter every 4-6 weeks, about a 3 1/2 hour drive each way.
Still got it. Still just breaking it in - 89,600 on the odo now.
Better car than either Lexus I've owned as well as the ML. It's quieter, more comfortable and faster.
It has great utility with the rear seat setup: We've taken 6 in it many times; short ladies have never complained about the third row.
I've had it on the sand at Pismo, on the rocky fire roads in the Angeles Nat'l Forest, and have driven it a long way thru the snow. I really cannot complain.
And two cross country trips out I40, as well skiing up in Mt Crested Butte, CO. About the biggest decision you need to make is to use the heater or the heated seats.
Bottom line: I am rather taken with it.

Ps It hasn't been to the shop yet.
