Excellent Highway Performance
 Smooth, powerful highway performance, but terrible in confined areas.  The vehicle has the turning radius of an aircraft carrier.  For congested parking lots and tight narrow spaces this is the worst vehicle I have every driven--including but not limited to a pickup truck-- and should be avoided.  If you drive in the wide open spaces of the highway system, this vehicle will deliver power, comfort, and very good mileage.   Mechanically, this vehicle has required only routine maintenance for 8+ years of ownership.For 9  years of ownership, this vehicle was relatively problem free.  However, it started to eat fuses on the circuit that serves the sunroof and interior overhead lights--No one can determine the cause of the overload.After 9.5 years of ownership, I traded the vehicle.   The electrical problems continued and became very unnerving.
