Things to consider when insuring one

  • 21% rollover risk in a single-vehicle crash

    Higher than most cars, typical of tall vehicles. Rollovers are among the most serious crashes.

  • Driver-assist sensors come standard

    They can help avoid crashes, but a windshield or bumper repair often needs the cameras and radar recalibrated, which costs more. Check what your comprehensive and collision deductibles would mean for a glass claim.

  • Most owner complaints are about the electrical system

    15 of 49 complaints to NHTSA mention it. Worth a look in a pre-purchase inspection.
