Overall the driving experience is easy and fuss free for such a large vehicle. This ease of driving belies its size, something that previously could only be said of large Fords. Safety is addressed through front and side airbags in addition to the previously mentioned anti-lock brakes. Seatbelts up front are anchored on the seat, as well as in the rear outboard seating positions. Although the rear hatch is still available as a split door design, a more convenient lift-gate design is available for the first time.
