1) the side view mirrors are not sufficient for the job, this vehicle has blind spots large enough to hid full sized cars in, this is to the point of dangerious on the drivers side, where even the normal quick glance over the shoulder is not sufficient to catch what may be in your blind spot. It’s only a matter of time before you’ll cut someone off that you didnt’ even know was there. My companies awnser to this was to us fish-eye mirrors in the lower outter corner of the mirror. This is not an effective solution, it blocks even more of the already surface of the mirror. This vehicle desperately need full sized cargo van / truck mirrors.

2) When operating in wet & snowie conditions the front tires literally throw water & snow onto the massive windshield making visiblity a real safety concern as the windshield wipers attempt to keep pace. This results in recurring moments of near blindness when operating the vehicle in adverse weather conditions.

Now, what was that you were saying about more power and better mileage?

they should offer it here with a small clean turbodiesel inline-4 or inline-5 and maybe a long wheelbase version with a turbodiesel inline-5 or V6
