The Trend is the mid-level entry to Ford’s largest SUV range. The model I drove was a 4WD and was fitted with the 'Tow Pack' and 'Premium Pack', which includes an electric folding third row seat as well as a full-size spare wheel and tow ball.

You can pick up this model for $62,390, before on-road-costs, with the Premium Pack adding $550, and the Tow Pack $1000, for a total of $63,940.

It competes with the Isuzu MU-X and Toyota Prado, but also less rugged alternatives like the Mazda CX-9 for its size and features. I drove it on a mix of city and country roads during a week of heavy rains and quickly became fond of how capable I felt behind the wheel.
