Pros: Looks, 4x goes anywhere, comfortable
Cons: BRAKES!!!, Quality
I bought this vehicle because in New England there's a lot of snow. Here's my thoughts. The vehicle is unstoppable in the snow. That's a good and bad thing. I can hardly peel out on the snow and ice in 4 wheel drive. Jokingly I've told people I'd...

It has a full package which comes in handy when you need it and don't...

It is roomy enough that I know he can travel with a few...
