bought it used for $750, put $750 to replace brakes and suspension, and riding smooth as silk. love the awd in chicago snow and love the 5.0 v8 at the stop light. love how the engine purrs when floored. of course it has its faults such as 2 stereos burnt out and drivers side door lock/handle not working, and rear wiper not working, but other than that, truck looks great both inside and out.

Original owner, 4 yrs. During this time there was a water leak at the drivers window above the window, rear motor wiper (replaced twice), radio component containing CD player had to be replaced twice and something with an oxygen sensor replaced. Glad I owned an extended warranty. This vehicle now has 71,000 miles. Warranty is up at 80,000. Gas mileage has never been great. I am sure it is because it is because it is an 8 cyl, AWD. It is very comfortable to drive in, plenty of leg room in the back seat, and trunk space. Overall, this has been a good, sturdy, dependable vehicle. First year took a whlie to work out the bugs.

This is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I was rear ended by a Ford F250 and it did not put a scratch on my truck. The whole front grill & bumper of the Ford was damaged. Then, a month later I ran into the back of a Toyota Corolla and there were a few scratches on my bumper but did substantial damage to the other car. I have over 100,000 miles on my truck and have never had a major problem with it. It drives great for an AWD vehicle. I feel very safe in this SUV with my kids...
A Lemon-maybe.
