I'll say this about mine (actually my wife drives it), it is a 2005 V8 4WD. It is the first vehicle I've ever owned that I can say I have no intentions of ever selling it. I LOVE the thing.

In this year model range, the V8 4WD's were full-time 4WD only (you have high and low selector). As a result, fuel economy is lacking. We get around 13-14 in town, and 18 highway if we're lucky.
The only problem we've ever had with it was the front brake rotors warping. The dealer replaced them twice (with OEM parts). Finally stuck some aftermarket rotors on and that fixed the problem.

Other than that, it's been absolutely reliable. We've only got around 60k miles on it, but I'll have it till (if it ever) dies.
