Unbeatable factory incentives when purchased in Jan 2009. Dealer attitude and their own deal also an important factor.
Very fast accelerating to interstate speeds plus six speed trans provides extra gearing when passing on two lane highways.
Strong towing power and the flexable cargo area has made hauling large boxes, tools, driveway sealer, fertilizer, etc. a "piece of cake".
Rear doors open nearly 90 degrees and foot room, for streching out, is excellent.
Very clean lines, 19" rims, side mouldings, and modern suv styling are eye catching.
