Thoughts on this bad boy

Inherited this the other day after getting it started after 2 years sitting in a driveway

2005 Ford Freestyle Limited AWD 3.0- 127k miles

Plan is to pretty much drive it until it dies, w/ general maintenance of course.

The more irrational part of me wants to put some larger tires on it and lift it, essentially "battle car" it. I'm just aware these CVT transmissions aren't very fond of that.

Besides all of that, I'm wondering if there's any performance upgrades that anyone has had experience with the 3.0 Duratec. It's a dog of a motor but still a V6 in a wagon, could be crazy idk

Let me know what you think!
