- Reliability (2)Significant concerns regarding the 'Strawberry Milkshake of Death' (coolant leaking into the transmission) and timing chain guide wear severely hinder its long-term reliability score.
- Maintenance (3)Routine maintenance is relatively simple, but owners must budget for expensive preventive measures like radiator replacement to avoid catastrophic transmission failure.
- Technology (3)While the Bose audio system and available navigation were impressive for 2006, the infotainment interface is now obsolete and lacks modern smartphone integration.
- Comfort (4)The LE trim provides a premium feel with leather upholstery and dual-zone climate control, but the third-row seating is cramped and difficult for adults to access.
- Dynamics (4)The 4.0L V6 engine offers robust power and class-leading towing capacity, though the body-on-frame chassis results in a stiff, truck-like ride on paved roads.
