2005 Ford Freestyle Road Test

Ford has been in need of new models to bolster its new car lineup for some time, and the upcoming Five Hundred sedan and Freestyle crossover SUV could be just what is needed. I was recently invited to test both during a press event that had journalists making time on high-speed Interstates, exercising the suspension systems on curving, potholed rural backroads, and even taking on a gravel pit to test out the all-wheel drive system, on our way from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Chicago, Illinois.
