Another giant 4×4 utility vehicle, but much more geared to the image-conscious than Ford’s Excursion.

In a position to accommodate as much as nine people and all sorts of their luggage, but to waft them along in quite decent luxury.

The entry-level engine is a 4.6 V8, and there’s also the 5.4 litre V8 available. On-road handling is better than may be expected; the suspension is a sophisticated ail-independent system available with traction control and electronic stability control.

Made to satisfy the leisure user market, this is just the ticket if you reside in a town but wish to head up-country for many fishing and shooting most weekends.
