I initially did not want an SUV, but it was my mom's choice. It looks fine...I drove one in Summer 06, and it drove fine around town. We bought one, V8 SE this past July, and having some seat time in it reminds me why I don't care much for SUV's. For what it is, acceleration is adequate, and given its handling it is not too underwhelming. It cruises along at 2000 rpm at 75, which helps fuel economy on the highway (best I saw was 20.4), however city fuel econ suffers (14 was worst I've seen). The control interface for the AC is confusing, for I cannot seem to shut off the AC without turning off all air circulation. The audio system, however, is AMAZING, simply put. The Harmon/Kardon with 6-disc changer is among the best systems I've heard, especially in a base-model. Handling around town is fine, corners ok, and has nicely weighted steering and an amazing turning radius. However, at the limit, the high seating position makes it feel tippy going around corners, and don't even think about using the manual shifter to power your way through a turn. It won't feel good. Build quality is solid, doors shut with a nice solid thud, and no quivers or torsional shake/creaking/rattling on unsettled pavement. Reliability thus far has been fine, no abnormal problems with it. Materials seem fine, however for the price I would expect a little more snazz in its overall appearance. Complaining about gas would be overkill, given the over-inflated prices, however $68 got us from LA area to Vegas just fine...not bad in light of $4.00 gas. Overall, not bad in the world of SUV's...it doesn't attract too much attention, yet is a comfortable and capable vehicle. The tailgate styling takes some serious getting used to, but the rest of the truck is quite attractive and tough looking, but still cleans up well. Definitely up there with the Land Cruiser as far as not being the status quo, but a nice, roomy, powerful ride.

Nice big truck, beautiful lines, comfortable interior, plenty of space for up-to-7 adults. It had a 4.4L Jaguar Engine that produced 300Hp. Gas mileage was horrible at about 17mpg combined city and highway. Build quality was horrible, service department at local Land Rover dealership just as horrible.
