Additionally, the Multi-Displacement System (MDS) lifters historically have had reliability concerns; ensuring the recall completion and performing a tick-test is vital. High-mileage vehicles may also exhibit wear in the TorqueFlite 8HP70 transmission and Quadra-Trac AWD system, necessitating close inspection to maintain the performance standards expected of these elite SUVs.
