- Reliability (3)The powertrain is generally rugged, but this model year is susceptible to the 'Strawberry Milkshake of Death' (SMOD) caused by radiator fluid leaking into the transmission.
- Maintenance (3)Parts are widely available and the engine bay is easy to work in, but poor fuel economy and the need for preventative radiator replacement increase the long-term cost of ownership.
- Technology (2)The SE trim features a decent Rockford Fosgate sound system for its era, but the lack of a modern infotainment interface and very basic driver assistance features show its age.
- Comfort (3)While the front seats are supportive for long trips, the interior is dominated by hard plastics and the rear stadium seating can feel cramped for taller adults.
- Dynamics (4)The 4.0L V6 engine provides impressive torque and towing capability, making it excellent for off-road trails, though its truck-based platform results in significant body roll and a stiff ride on pavement.
