- Reliability (3)The powertrain is generally robust, but 2007 was a problematic year for oil consumption issues related to the Active Fuel Management system and interior plastic durability.
- Maintenance (4)Replacement parts are affordable and widely available, and the mechanical simplicity of the small-block V8 makes it relatively easy for independent shops to service.
- Technology (2)As the base LS trim, the tech is dated; it lacks a modern infotainment screen, Bluetooth connectivity, and advanced driver aids found in newer models.
- Comfort (4)A very quiet cabin and plush ride quality make it an excellent long-distance cruiser, though the third-row seat is cramped and difficult to remove.
- Dynamics (3)The 5.3L V8 offers solid towing power and smooth acceleration, but the handling is typical for a heavy body-on-frame SUV, feeling somewhat cumbersome in tight corners.
