    Best car I've ever owned, and I've owned quite a few

    Best car I've ever owned, and I've owned quite a few personally as well as company vehicles. This car is simply the best and I plan on keeping it a very long time.

    Can’t wait to get rid of it.

    Finally bought my first new car at 41 years of age. I regret nothing more in my life than buying a Dodge. After 3 years of ownership, the dealership has put almost 1000 miles on my truck trying to diagnose all the issues I have had and continue to have. The “award winning Penta Star V6” is an embarrassment. I have the acceleration of a 4 cyl with the mileage of an 8 cylinder. The start/stop feature has almost caused three accidents for me. I have shifting issues, xxxx poor mileage, body and paint issues, interior issues, electrical issues, etc. Interior detail trim pieces are peeling off, and I have replaced the wipers 12 times already. Now my factory warranty is expired and I am being charged diagnosis fees and deductibles even after purchasing the extended warranty. If you are in the market for a new vehicle, drive right passed the Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealer and find an auto manufacturer that cares about their customers.

    Comfortable, Tow Capacity, Features

    The vehicle is perfect for what I was looking for, towing, third row, comfortable, spacious, safety features, leather seats, etc. We have 3 dogs, a baby on the way, and a skyline GTR that gets towed around. Three days after owning it we towed the skyline to the track, folded down the rear seats and loaded up the back with tools, spare parts, food, etc. The drive there was very smooth, the V8 does an excellent job with towing the 5800 lbs and i averaged 12.8 MPG. It was very useful spending all day at the track and having friends use the SUV to put stuff in and grabbing tools out of etc. We got home and unloaded everything and a quick vacuum of the cargo space left it looking good as new. I am very pleased with the vehicle and am planning a 14 hour drive up north later this month to test out the ACC and long haul comfort. It does ride very smooth around feels fairly luxurious for being an american made SUV. Very impressed!

    If you like a car with features, don't get this.

    I had this vehicle for one week as a rental vehicle (I wrecked my vehicle). This is not the vehicle for me at all. It doesn't have a backup camera or bluetooth, which I hate. It drives okay, but it is definitely a gas-guzzler. I would not recommend getting this car at all.
