"Great, reliable, comfortable vehicle"

- Rear brakes were replaced under warranty due to a defect
- A small dash rattle was repaired at 20000km.
General comments?
This is a great vehicle!
1) It is beautiful to drive
a. Smooth powerful engine
b. Comfortably firm suspension
c. Solid capable road feel
2) Well engineered – refined
a. Quiet ride – minimal road noise
b. Reliable and easily repaired
c. Good off pavement and snow performance
d. 4x4 is very good (better than previous domestics I have owned)
3) Lots of room for
a. Kids and dogs
b. Cargo
c. Very comfortable on long drives.
I put a spray in bed-liner when I bought it which I recommend as it prevents cargo from sliding around in the box. Additionally I put a canopy on it which makes carrying cargo in the rain / snow much better.
My only fault with this vehicle is the fuel economy it is not particularly efficient. I have a heavy foot and fuel consumption can be painful. I have modified my driving, but the efficiency is still not there.
