Poor design and reliability

As a business owner I bought this to replace my 1996 ford explorer with over 300,000 miles. I was suppose to get 21 to 26 mpg. I get 19.5, only 3 mpg better than my v-8 explorer. Same roads, driver and payload. This is most likely due to the extremely underpowered engine which has to work hard to pull hills in western MD. Needs to drop 2 gears to travel up hills on interstate. 6200 RPM right below redline to travel 70 mph on these hills. Forget acceleration-it doesn't exist. Good vehicle for around town but not made to drive on highways. Salesman told me power wuld not be a problem. Yeah, read any article.

I bought this van for my appliance repair business. Had 120000 miles on it when i bought it. So far i have replaced a water hose connector and a motor mount. Myself. They made this van mechanic friendly. I had never done a motor mount and it took me a little over one hour. Also the hose connector. I now have 192000 miles and drives great.
