I'll keep it short. New limited, obviously little time behind wheel. I wasn't looking for palisade but they happened to have a Burgundy Limited in stock, drove it, liked it very well. Based on features and lovely interior, I pulled trigger. The Limited trim is about equivalant to the Telluride SX with prestige package for content. I feel the Telluride looked cooler outside but Palisade more uptown inside.
Pros: -As if a minivan and luxury sedan had a mid size, AWD SUV baby-just what I needed for small family, large dog.
-Beautifully detailed interior with great storage and thoughtful details throughout-storage/space almost minivan like up to 3rd row
-Great cameras front and back/overhead.(Didn't know I wanted a front camera-very useful already). Solid,not overwrought, driver nanny tools
-quiet composed ride for non adaptive suspension
-HVAC, seat cooling and stereo work well/ very good sound stage
Cons: (These are mostly niggles and may get sorted out)
-Where do I put my phone?!(What, I'm not supposed to drive and look at it ;-) Seriously though, there is a large airy cabin but no great spot below the top of dash -where the police may frown on phone screen-to mount one.
-can't change XM radio stations 1 at a time easily(thumb control on steering wheel is not accurate)supposed to hold it for exactly 0.8 secs, any more than that and it jumps to next preset or 2 to 3 stations at a time. There are a bunch of presets though(?15)
-Neither HUD, nor dash show audio input/info except for a moment when changing station or mode. Have to look at touch screen mid dash, and then maybe open that "widget" up to get all info one wants.
-Weather not displaying, says unable(probably my fail)
-Pretty complex to sort out widgets/settings, not as intuitive as my Durango was(U Connect worked flawlessly)
In summary, the Pros, which are the most substantial matters pertaining to the car, far outweigh the cons which I will adapt to or learn how to resolve. This was posted just to start the conversation and let people know what a non fan boy(I'm not brand loyal) thought about his new purchase
