•2004 Nissan Titan Mid-Size Pickup Truck
Nissan's massive Titan, the first Japanese-brand truck to go head-to-head with the American stalwarts, looks as tough as it feels. It may be the best truck for sale today, but intense brand loyalty stands ominously in its path toward domination. Despite its rugged feel and best-in-class capability, the Titan's cabin is surprisingly quiet and refined. Only the new Ford F-150 comes close to matching its quality trim and comfortable ride.
•2004 Suzuki XL-7 Mid-Size Sport Utility Vehicle
Suzuki's XL-7 doesn't just look like a tough, off-road SUV. It's the real thing. Unlike its car-based competitors, it rides on a truck-style frame that makes it durable enough for extreme off-road driving. The XL-7 has the roomiest interior in its class, both in terms of passenger space and cargo volume. Plus, thanks to improved materials on its] redesigned dash and several fancy features, it doesn't feel cheap.
•2004 Land Rover Discovery Mid-Size Near-Luxury SportUtility Vehicle
With the boxy look of a traditional Land Rover, the Discovery combines immense off-road capability with a surprising level of comfort. It can drive almost anywhere, yet it still feels smooth, quiet, and refined around town. Other than poor gas mileage, the Discovery's only weaknesses are its interior ergonomics and back seat room. Despite those drawbacks, it's a well-appointed vehicle with a combination of style, performance and luxury that's rarely found in off-road SUVs.

•2004 Mercedes ML500 Mid-Size Luxury Sport Utility Vehicle
We like the Mercedes M-Class for its overachiever mentality, especially in the safety department. It’s decked out in true Mercedes-Benz quality under the hood and inside the cabin, and offers specialized off-road capabilities for those with an adventurous spirit and fat checkbook.
•2004 Suzuki XL-7 4WD EX Full-Size Sport Utility Vehicle
The Suzuki XL-7 is for consumers who need an extra third-row to transport their family around town, but don’t want to pay the big dollars (in both price and fuel consumption) that are attached to larger sport utility vehicles. It’s also for the individual who may not need all three rows, but who wants her vehicle to be decked out with heated seats, remote audio controls and leather upholstery without sinking into a black hole of debt.
•2004 Cadillac SRX-V8 All Wheel Drive Mid-Size Near-Luxury Sport Utility Vehicle
Even though the debate is ongoing regarding the SRX’s appearance, there’s one thing for certain: your SRX will definitely not blend in with the other Japanese and European luxury utility vehicles.
•2004 Infiniti FX45 Mid-Size Sport Utility Vehicle
The Infiniti FX45 is for any parent who cringes at the thought of owning a minivan or an oversized SUV, but who at the same time, needs their cargo-toting capabilities. The FX gives you plenty of room in such an individualistic way that there’s no way it’s ever going to let itself be labeled a “soccer mom” car.
•2004 Nissan Pathfinder Mid-Size Sport Utility Vehicle
Nissan's mid-size SUV romps, thanks to a souped-up engine. The aluminum twin-cam 3.5-liter V6 produces 250 hp when teamed with a manual transmission, or 240 hp with an automatic.
•2004 Mitsubishi Endeavour Mid-Size Sport Utility Vehicle
Mitsubishi's new mid-size crossover wagon is easy to drive like a sedan because its rigid unibody structure and all of the handling hardware -- such as an independent suspension for all wheels and responsive rack and pinion steering -- match the mechanical equipment on a FWD car.
•2004 Mitsubishi Montero Mid-Size Sport Utility Vehicle
A new design for Montero emerged in 2001 with fresh lines drawn over a unibody structure containing plush fittings in a spacious cabin and powerful mechanicals.
