Lurchy acceleration and shifting. Not a REAL truck!
Advice to buyer:
Not a bad choice. Make sure you are comfortable driving it stop and go.
Detailed review:
This vehicle is a roomy and reasonable choice for a family cargo hauler. As a car-based SUV, it is not as rugged as truck-based SUVs. However, front seat and back seat room are excellent. The weakest point is the lurchy drivetrain.
