Its hot a ride. I own one. I waited until the 05s came out. Functionally and feature wise its a better vehicle. I love the cargo area and NO carpet in the back to worry about trying to keep mud & dirt off of. Holds a muddy mountain bike quite nice if I do say so myself.

Love the "luggage compartment" in the top. I have already used it to put my nasty smelly mountian bike shoes and clothes after a particually muddy bog ride. Could be a big bigger too. Who cares about the missing lock up there. My take on it is if they want my smelly muddy crap, more power to them.

I like the interior and overall setup. Lots of cup holders and places to store stuff.

Ride is good and plenty of power. Gas mileage is good considering it is a TRUCK BASED Suv and not a "cute ute".

Have not had it offroad but that will come.
