I have had this vehicle for nearly 3 years in southern baja. 29,000 miles of mostly washboard offroad and beach/sand conditions. This vehicle stills looks and rides like the first day I drove it.
The 5 cylinder engine, which has received negative comments has plenty of power to either run 90mph for hours down the hwy or pull itself up a steep and slippery hill with ease. With the adventure package, the low 4x4 gear is like a tractor - go anywhere!
dirves like a car on the road and the best off road handling vehicle i have ever driven
i have the adventure package, so it comes with a more stiff suspension. that being said, the ride smoothness on and especially off road is great
