I can go on and on! These are just some of the things that more than make up for the smaller engine. That said, those looking to burn some rubber on the highways, look elsewhere ![]() Last edited by cool_dube : 5th March 2021 at 19:19. | |

The MRF wanderers though are one of the worst all terrain tyres that I have seen. Folks looking to do even mild off-roading will need to replace them. The ride quality of the Endeavour is impeccable and tackles the potholes even better than many expensive Suvs like Audi Q7. Though, I like the seats in the Fortuner better than the Endeavour. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() The wait is painful to say the least! Severe shortage of semiconductors has held up production for all OeMs. And hence delay in deliveries. One of the Ford dealers in Mumbai told me to pay extra to faster delivery! See how time has changed for these guys within few months. May-June last year there was a discount of 1.5-2 lacs. |

| ![]() After evaluating my options I picked up a pre-owned endeavour (2019 model) in comparison with new 2L. I had finalized a new booking with 1L discount but the 2019 model and the colour tempted me to go with pre-owned for now. May be I will pick a new one later in few years once dual turbo gets launched in India. For now I am very happy with this buy. Amazing vehicle with awesome features. |

Is this 1L discount on ex-showroom? If not how much was the discount on the ex-showroom and do you mind sharing the on-road cost that you got offered and the dealer name? 2019 3.2 is a good pick for enthusiasts. How much did that work out for? |

Was it a 3.2L Endeavour? Upon enlarging the photograph, it appears to be the 2.2L... Resale in Mumbai appears to be very high, from what I have seen online. Last edited by SuperFlyBoy : 11th March 2021 at 23:26. | |

![]() Guys, finally got hold of my Endeavour ![]() As expected, in "Drive" mode (which prioritizes fuel economy over performance, as per the user manual), the engine does feel a little sluggish during initial pickup and this could be because I am being a tad gentle with the throttle for the first ~2000 km or so. Short stints with "Sport" mode (which prioritizes performance over fuel economy) - both auto as well as manual switching - seemed very promising, wherein the car holds on to gears for longer and feels lot more sprightly! Will try it out extensively post the initial run-in. However, as already stated, this is not a traffic-signal-drag-racer by any means. It is a gentle beast that munches miles in absolute silence, providing you a "club class" experience with its premium interiors, magic ride, and awesome music system! The 2.0 lit motor is VERY refined and silent, unless revved over 3000 rpm - you can barely hear it running from a few meters away, not to mention minimal sound invasion inside the cabin. There is absolutely no cabin shake on start-up and shut-down either, giving it an almost petrol like feel. As for the color, nothing beats black when it comes to a full-size SUV, but I would suggest against it if you cannot live with minor scratches, chips, etc. being visible. Will try and muster enough stamina to jot down a detailed ownership report but till then, here is a latest pic (apologies in advance, for poor picture quality): Last edited by cool_dube : 12th March 2021 at 12:11. | |

| ![]() It is a 2.2L with very less mileage and very well maintained. Thanks for all your wishes. I was planning for a new 4x2. A 2.2L top-end with low mileage came my way and checked all the boxes. While scanning the market 2.2L AT was between 22-26L and 3.2L was above 28L. And ford does have ford assured pre-owned and if you are lucky then you will get a sweet deal and a good vehicle through them. Definitely need to sit across the table and negotiate the price. Congratulations cool_dube on your new purchase. Looks absolute stunner. |

Given that it is a 2019 model, it would be under factory warranty for another year or so. If it is not already covered under EW, I'd strongly recommend going for it, especially in view of a few incidents with the 6-speed transmission reported on the forum earlier, albeit with initial (2016-17) models.

Oh wow! Congrats! How long was waiting for you? I booked at Cauvery Ford on 23rd Feb for Black 4x4, and I received an auto-update from their CRM system that the car is in production and the tentative delivery date is 30th April, which is 2+ months! ![]() Does auto still work in Sport mode? If yes, that would be great! The button-like manual gear is not so engaging otherwise. Maybe we get used to it in time. Any plans in getting Raptor grill? |

Thanks, mate! 77 days from booking to getting the car home, each day seeming a year long ![]() I am not surprised, especially since you have booked a black. Had it been white, the waiting period would be a tad lesser, but no lesser than 45 days in any case. The Endeavour is not a fast moving SUV like the Fortuner and therefore, dealers do not want to keep unwanted inventory. Of course, semiconductor/steel shortage is not helping either. Be patient my friend, and enjoy the wait ![]() Quote:
