- Pros
- It's a truck, not a cross over. Great looks. Capable off road.
- Cons
- Gas milage, interior, and it's a Chrysler
Purchased As New
This isn't the SUV for everyone. But for me, it was the right choice. First off, these can be had very cheap. I walked out the door for $20,000 even including tax and title. Second, it's a real truck, so I can do light duty on the trails in Northern Arizona. Then again, it does have 20? rims, which looks great, but really reduces the off road capability. Still, when you drive on the smooth roads of Phoenix, having that rim really helps plant the car. Previously, I?ve had plenty of sports cars that were far rougher than this, but I can see others looking for more refinement. The size was the biggest draw for me. My wife had a RAV4 when we met, and it was far too small. We looked at the Escape and thought the same thing. The full size SUVs were far too large for us as well. This was the only domestic branded SUV that fit the size we wanted. Performance is adequate for me. I traded in a Cadillac CTS, and it?s slightly below that. Again, it?s not a speed demon like the rides I had when I was younger, but it gets the job I want done. About the only concern I have is the reliability. That seems to be a tossup when you buy a Chrysler.
