 Favorite feature:

Sitting position with commanding view of the road, tight turning circle, reverse sensors.

 Least favorite feature:

Third row seat could be split. Needs cargo net when rear hatch is opened.

 Advice to buyer:

Great if you need 7 seats and wnt to feel save on the road.

 Detailed review:

Has good torque with 6 cylinders. Can hear engine sound under acceleration, not a bad thing. Provides a secure feeling on snowy roads and is solid like a rock, no slipping or sliding. Original BFGoodrich tires are surprisinly quiet (would prefer Michelins. Message center provides useful data and avg fuel data seems to be accurate. Heating system warms inside quickly (just tested at 25 centigrade below zero( -13 Farenheit) rear outlets are useful option, heated front seats and dual controls help. Getting in and out of the truck real easy when you're 6 ft. Highway driving is easy, Truck points straight down the road, few corrections required.
