PROS: This vehicle is well constructed and offers a safe ride. It has a lot of parts that are common and easy to find. It is equipped with a 4.2L inline 6 cylinder engine that is very dependable. If you would like more power there is a option to have a V8 engine in the SUV. This vehicle offers a very smooth ride with plenty of room for all the occupants. It is easy to tell that the manufacture uses quality parts that are made to a very high specification. The interior has many different options, but all options show the quality of materials used in the production of this SUV. If you choose the leather seating option you will not be disappointed. Not only are the seats very comfortable but they will last for many years due to the durable quality leather. CONS: This vehicle does not get the best gas mileage. If you are going to work on this vehicle yourself you will have to purchase special tools that are made for this specific engine. The cost of the special tools can add up depending on the job that is required. On top of the fuel tank the fuel sending unit is not protected from road salt which causes the metal to rust over time and can possibly cause a leak.

I love this vehicle. It has over 100,000 miles on it and it is still going strong. I recently had to put a new starter on it and in the past had to put a new gas tank on it because the weather in the north causes there to be a lot of salt on the roads. I do not know of anything I do not like about this vehicle. I use it to drive to work most days and especially in the winter. It is 4 wheel drive and that is very useful in the snow. In the summer, I use it to pull my camper. I have no trouble pulling the camper with this v8 engine. It does use a little more gas than the 6 cylinders but the trade off is worth it. The color of the vehicle is so unique. It depends on how the sun is shining on it as to what color it seems. It is a cross between purple, maroon and brown. I have thought about trading it off and then I think about how much I like this vehicle and change my mind.
