Car Choices:
Go for the 3.2 4-cylinder diesel which packs 165hp since this has enough grunt to move this hulking SUV with ease. Fuel efficiency is on the positive side, too.

If possible, skip the 215hp 3.8 V6 gasoline due to the frightening fuel bills - although performance is decent -  as well as second hand Japanese converted units especially conversion process is questionable.

All models get dual airbags, ABS brakes, traction and stability control, locking differential, fog lamps, headlamp washer, power folding mirrors, illuminated door steps, all leather interior, LCD dash mounted compass and level indicators, all power features, disc changer with cassette, keyless entry, and alarm.
