Ton of cargo space is available.
Popular equipment from higher trims are available as options on lower ones.
Choice of two transmissions.
Fun to drive.
Capable steering, suspension and braking.
Automatic transmission shifts unbelievably smooth.
Four-cylinder engine delivers slow acceleration.
No six-cylinder engine is available, which many drivers prefer in a sport utility vehicle.
Minimal towing capacity.
