2007 Chrysler Aspen Limited 4WD - Car and Driver
But the real story here is about Chrysler putting out a big body-on-frame SUV with three rows of seating, four-wheel drive, and an optional 5. 7-liter Hemi V-8 capable of serious trailer-tugging duties—all for way less than 40 grand. Our Aspen Limited (they're all Limiteds) came with almost every option and stickered for $44,435. You can't get a Cadillac Escalade for that, or a Lexus LX470. Or even a GX470. And the 800-pound gorilla in the room here is the $1190 Hemi included... We didn't have a trailer on hand to tow, but there's no doubt the Hemi handles that equally well, and the Aspen has special anti-trailer-sway software in its vehicle dynamics system for that very purpose. Equipped with 50-series tires on 20-inch rims, our test Aspen steered fairly accurately for a big SUV, but its suspension is so soft that the vehicle trampolines over undulations in a way that would send us scuttling back to sedans. The rear row doesn't get regular use, and the second-row space is too short. Source: www.caranddriver.com
