So American!

(Ed K.: You drove this, right? How did you like it?)

Ed Kim said...: It's an interesting vehicle to drive. Certainly not refined; it's a commercial vehicle after all. Even the the interior aft of the cabin is completely devoid of trim, there is a cacophony of rattles and creaks back there, but that's OK - it's not meant for catering to refined tastes.

Being a front wheel drive vehicle that was originally meant to offer nothing more than some low-powered four-cylinder diesels, there is some odd torque steer at times with the big 3.6L V6 stuffed into the stubby nose. I'd like to try driving it with a load...I wonder if it would feel odd with lots of weight over the rear axle when the fronts are doing the moving!; June 11, 2014 at 12:11 PM
