front: ugly as sin
rear: common, like a Trailblazer
interior: decent for an American car

you must be blind, it looks nothing like a trailblazer from the rear. it looks like an explorer.

whats up with the horizontal headrest? looks like it was designed to destroy your neck or something

nope, it still does look something like a Trailblazer. I don't know if they changed the recent models, but that's exactly what it reminds me of in that picture. It doesn't remind me of recent Explorer models as much as the TB.

Guess what, you disagree, I disagree.

Looks like a good refresh to me. New, more efficient engines, updated interior, and stiffened chassis.

I am usually a fan of the large grill design (like on an Audi), but the shape and style on the Explorer seems off. Despite the grill, two thumbs up.

it's probably just for the chassis model pics. when nissan was first showing the titan, damn near the whole driveline of the bare chassis they had there was painted red. of course the production truck doesn't have a red driveline.

By the way, for the folks clamoring on about the strange shaped headrests, they fold down when not in use to allow for better rear visibility. The picture you guys are looking at are with the headrests folded down.

Obviously they fold upright when passengers actually sit in the seat.
