PROS:
- Loaded with plenty of standard features
- More practical cargo storage space than in the H2 wagon
- Power everything
- Best in its class off-road capabilities, with steep approach and departure angles and plenty of ground clearance
- Trailer-towing capacity
- Hitch receivers and wiring looms on both front and rear bumpers (useful for guiding a trailer, or extricating other vehicles with the optional Warn winch)
- Adequate head room for all passengers -- front and rear
- Convertible "feel" when all windows, mid-gate, and sunroof are opened
- Customizable cargo area: Simply lower the power midgate window, fold down the 2nd row of seats, and the midgate easily lays into the cabin
- 9-speaker BOSE music system with in-dash cassette/CD player (a 6-disc CD changer is optional) with rear-seat audio controls and headphone jacks
CONS:
- You can't put the tailgate down to add a tailgate extender (since the spare tire would swing around in traffic), so you are limited to hauling only what fits in the bed and stops at the tailgate.
- Tan (or "wheat") leather seats are standard, regardless of exterior color, with optional black leather
- Highway merging and passing take patience, as it takes some time to get this behemoth up to speed
- Chunky appearance, with a chopped off truck bed
- Negotiating traffic isn't as easy as negotiating obstacles off-road in this vehicle
- Extreme width makes parking and maneuvering in town tricky
- Road noise is a nuisance, especially at speeds over 60mph
- Some dashboard features appear cheap for such a high-priced vehicle
- Must use running boards and hand grips to enter/exit
- Rear visibility is hindered by roof pillars, rear headrests, and spare tire -- all blocking much of the rear window
- Rear seat is too cramped for three adults
- When folded down, the midgate sits several inches above the cargo-bed floor, hindering slide-in loading of long objects
- Tailgate is very heavy (thanks to the attached, swing-out spare tire) and very high off the ground
- Limited pass-through size at the midgate
- Poor fuel economy (though it's to be expected)
