Vehicle Highlights
This car-type midsize SUV gets styling updates and a smaller model roster for 2006. Endeavor comes in LS or top-line Limited models. The XLS model is dropped. Both have a 225-hp V6 and automatic transmission with manual shift gate. Both offer front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive that lacks low-range gearing and is not intended for severe off-roading. A liftgate with opening glass is included. So are a 60/40 split folding rear seat, and antilock 4-wheel disc brakes. Traction control is included on 2WD models. AWD Limiteds offer an optional antiskid system. Front side airbags are standard on both; curtain side airbags are unavailable. DVD entertainment is optional.
