Hopefully this thread will help someone that is on the market or on the fence. Always wanted the Altitude when it first came out in 2012. Got the 4 x 2 Granite Crystal Altitude III package with the silver console and black tail lights. Got option with sunroof, rear-view camera, and 9 speaker w/subwoofer.
First Impression: Looks awesome and aggressive. Already getting looks on the road. Love the blackout finishes. The 8" touchscreen is easy to use and the digital tachometer display is useful. The V6 has adequate power when you need it, smooth transmission, overall good drive. Seats are not the best or comfortable but seems durable. Interior finish based on the Laredo model is very basic, no stitching details, bare bone & lackluster when you compare to higher models.
Main reason I got it was that I needed a mid-size SUV to put my dog and go to Home Depot and lug stuff which the Altitude will provide. Also the exterior is one of the most aggressive on the market. Consider the Overland, which was $5k more MSRP, but didn't really care about the leather seats, panoramic roof and hated the chrome accents. Now, I heard there will be a High Altitude model based off on the Overland in 2016 - too late for me, and no I'm not exchanging or trading in.
