This engine produces 360 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, achieving a 0-60 of 7.7 seconds, and is offered as both RWD and 4WD.

Buying Advice

We recommended that you opt for the SLT trim, which comes with leather upholstery and power-adjustable pedals. In addition, the V8 engine enables the vehicle to tow pretty much anything you throw at it.
