Congratulations! I’ve had a 2019 for a while now, and it’s been great.

Thanks! My wife loves it too—turns out it was built on her birthday. What are the odds?

Are there any specific issues I should be looking out for?

The water pump is internal, so keep an eye on it. If it goes out, it can cause serious damage if not repaired quickly. I haven’t had this issue, but it’s something to be aware of.

Good to know, thanks! I did get a 5-year/60k mile warranty with a $100 deductible that covers almost everything. Plus, it’s a one-owner, CPO-certified vehicle.

If it’s AWD, watch out for the PTU (Power Transfer Unit). The exhaust runs under it and can cause the gear oil to burn up. You’ll know it’s bad when you smell burning gear oil. Repairs can run over $3,000.

Luckily, mine is FWD, but wow, that’s an expensive repair!

Looks identical to my 2019 XLT—same color, too! I’ve got 323,000 miles on mine, and it’s still going strong with the 3.5L engine.

Wow, how did you rack up so many miles so quickly?
