| “Not Bad For A Truck, But It Could Use More Power, And A Lower Center Of Gravity” i think it's a nice vehicle overall. but due to a high profile and narrow stance, it does like to lean on fast turns. it has a decent-sized 4.0 v6 which is pretty good on acceleration for a truck but requires quite a push going up steep hills. the interior has well placed switches and a good display of gauges.
Pros —
nice handling, decent interior, good cargo room, spacious front seats, suv-looks
4wd
Cons —
wimpy giddiup on steep hills, center of gravity not low enough, needs more ground clearance, very aggressive tires needed for snow
