Review
I purchased this new in 1999 and was
initially impressed with the powerful
5.4L engine, looks and comfort. Always
dealer serviced. I thought by buying
new and dealer maintained, any issues
would be resolved early. What a
surprise. It developed a rough idle
and after 3 trips to the dealer,
convienently after the warranty, a
blown head gasket was diagnosed.
$1800.00!!! The dealership paid half
but that was still $900.00 and the
other trips that totaled $500.00. Now
ABS light is on. A $38,000 vehicle
shouldn't have these problems. Next
car will be a Toyota Sequoa. Tried to
buy american but...can't afford to.

This SUV has been a perfect vehicle for
over 3 years. First new truck in over
35 years that has never been back to
the dealer for any type of warranty
work. The 5.4 L V-8 has plenty of pep,
although gas mileage, averaging 16.2
overall could be better. With 4 captain
chairs it is extremely comfortable,
good climate control, and a pleasure to
drive.

This is my wife's around-town car, but
we also use it for travelling. In both
areas it has proved its worth. She
finds it comfortable and easy to
drive, practical at hauling
around family, friends and shopping,
and it can always be trusted to provide
towing for my own less reliable motor.
But it really shines at vacation time.
We drive long distances and the kids
just dont complain - there's enough
room for one of them to be asleep flat
while the others play around. And it
handles the off-road portions admirably
(even with only 2WD). To sum it up:
comfortable, practical, versatile.
(There is that fuel economy thing,
though!)

After the birth of our son and our
first car trip, my husband decided that
my Honda Passport was not big enough.
We went to the dealership with the
intention of just looking, and left
with my truck! I love it! The only
problem I have is that the sunshade for
the moonroof works its way closed on
its own and they don't know how to fix
it. I'm just waiting until I can trade
it in for a new one where the 3rd seat
folds flat!

This is a replacement for an identical 2000 EB 4x2. 1st one had an
intermittent exhaust odor that the dealer could not fix. Went the Lemon Law
route for this vehicle.
Only problems on this one were
1-Sunroof roared at 55+ MPH .Dealer fixed this by stretching the nylon
straps that limit the deflector shield. Shield was not in airflow and would
vibrate.
2-Intermittently car would not crank. Faulty Neutral/Park switch in the
steering column
Tires just replaced at 24k with Michelin X-Terrain. They are worth the
money.
5.4L engine gas mileage is ~ 14MPG average 50/50 highway and city.
Highway gets 20MPG/60 MPH and 16MPG/80 MPH. Lots of parasitic drag.

GREAT auto! Truly a pleasure to drive -
- in town or on the highway! If I were
in the market for a new SUV, this would
absolutely be the one for me.
