WE just purchased this SUV and soo far soo good! It runs great and has plenty of room for 8! My wife and daughter love the size and the reliability. WE plan on lifting it 3" and upsizing the tires to probably 36" Inches. It is a stylish, comfortable and affordable!

I love this SUV. Best I've ever owned. I have a 6 inch lift and 35's. It' reliable and comfortable. The only problem is I go through 2 sets of brakes a year, thank goodness for lifetime warranty pads. Plenty of room for camping and ballgames. Pulls 5 quads easily. Rear air is great.

Great family vehicle. Has definitely been the most dependable vehicle I have ever owned. Keeping any vehicle long term will involve some repairs and I had to replace the transmission after pulling around a 30 foot trailer for a while. Wear and tear means occasional repairs but she keeps on a going...currently 787,000 miles (so far) Update: now up to 830K and still running well...doesn't really like to climb hills at high altitudes (>7500 ft) as much any more, but otherwise is being a trooper. Still the vehicle for our exploring.
