Pros

Suspension offers a smooth ride, regardless of speed or terrain.

Cons

It is hard to find fault with a sport utility vehicle that has become an American icon like picnics with hot apple pie and red-checkered tablecloths. Still, in all fairness, there are a few things that won’t satisfy all drivers.

There is no V8 option available. Although the V6 offers ample acceleration and towing power, some SUV drivers simply feel more confident with a V8.

Cons

High dash and roof pillars make the vehicle feel a little bigger than it is, when behind the wheel.

Cons

Third row seat is cramped for adults.
