Reliable and comfortable to drive.
This is a midsize truck that drives like a car. But also has 4 wheel drive, that will get you home in snow storms. Even if you live an hour away and to drive on an unplowed highway! This is a reliable vehicle and repairs are reasonable and inexpensive. And it has lots of cargo space. The rear seats flood down, very convenient.

I bought this car back in 2014 with 60,000 miles. It was in great shape although the check engine light was on. I pulled the codes and it was a coil going out. A common problem with these vehicles and if left unfixed will create more problems such as a cats needing replacing. I fixed it right away which prevented more expensive problems. I had to replace all of them since the car's computer won't isolate which one is bad. I also have replaced two cam angle sensors, fan clutch, ball joint, fan amplifier, and a oil cooler o-ring. These other repairs were made in the course of the additional 40,000 miles I drove it and really was not very expensive since I did most of these the things myself. The car drives very well in the snow for skiing . I love the all-wheel drive function. The car drives solid and is pretty quite and comfortable. Rust is starting to show up in a few places but is not an issue. Hopefully I can drive it for another 100,000 miles, we will see. It drives perfect and I like driving it. The Bose stereo was replace with another aftermarket head unit. The Bose speakers were not replaced and I replace the driver's door speaker last year. Still sounds great. Not a thrifty car for gas. I think the best highway mileage was around 19 MPG, and in town is 15-16 MPG. I have towed a boat and a small trailer with no problems. I have no regrets and will drive this until it won't go anymore, hopefully for 100,000 more miles. There are a few great used cars out there, the QX4 is a good car, not a great car.
Smooth and comfy
I wish I could have kept this car. It has been a good purchase and she took me everywhere I needed to. With both the radio speakers that sound amazing and the sunroof it is the perfect car for road trips !
