 I traded my Explorer for this vehicle.I am very happy with everything about it.The style, the performance and simplicity of regular maintenance. Changing the driveline is very simple. Take bolts out, fill it with the proper fluids and put bolts back in. Other than the tranny, all fluids are available anywhere.Air filter is easy to change.Spark plugs are harder because of all the wires and the cover, but shouldn't take longer than an hour.BIGGEST problem of this vehicle is its valve covers (alot of them). They leak after 80K and you have to change them BOTH.With the cheapest options (you buy the parts, you get your buddy to install it), it will still cost you $600+. That sucks
