What Changed

Power-operated running boards hide in the rocker panels until needed. The interior has been updated with a new instrument panel, center stack, door panels and seats. Mechanical changes include a revised front and rear suspension. An all-new 4.6L V8 engine is coupled to a six-speed automatic replaces the V8 powertrain in last years model
