Work Horse that keeps going

I have the 05 limited, and all I can say is this thing is solid and one of the most reliable rigs I've owned. The engine is surprisingly powerful for it's smaller V8. Mine frequents the mountain 50+ times a year and I have yet to find a better stock ride in snow, especially with the electronic center diff lock. I've take it down forest roads and through things that a normal SUV this size would struggle with. 262000 and climbing, minor repairs here and there but the engine and trans are still going solid. Only downside I can say is she drinks gas, but that's the price for such a car.

My wife loves this car; everything from the comfort to the design, the power on acceleration, handling, the sound system, the silence when the widows are up, cargo space, the navigation system, back up camera, satellite radio and the DVD player.

Purchased it two weeks ago. Love it, best SUV I have owned. Fuel mileage could be better but hey it's a SUV. Plenty on interior room, beautiful vehicle on the outside. Very glad I bought it.

Owned this for about 3 months. Tranny designed to release torque build up. Felt as though someone had tapped my back bumper at a stop light. Became really annoying after a short time. Also, valve noise was considered normal (says so even in manual). Ran premium fuel, but still could hear valve noise at times. These two items were enough to sell it after dealership said this was normal characteristics and working at factory specs.
