              Cons - ["Spend lot of gas", "That doesn't have moonroof"]

              Since I found out about this particular SUV, I love it since the first time I saw it, has everything I have always wanted, big trunk space, has lot of room for my family and friends, the style of the dashboard radio and controllers for me is just beautiful, another great thing about it is that the power that engine has, is a V8 4x4 I literally can use it as a family car or I can take for some off...
