Hi lujabe - thanks. My thinking is along similar lines, we have a small garage with a low clearance so can't practically own a full-size 4x4 but also don't want to be driving a tank around town daily. But when we go away for the weekend we often need more capability than a Subaru Forester, for example, can offer.
Yours and other cases on US forums seem to point to pretty good higher mileage reliability. The V6 has a good rep - mostly the other drivetrain parts that are of concern I think. But excellent to see yours is holding up well and not just being used to pick up the kids either!
Cheers, Ed
