STX 4X2
What the STX adds over the XL
The STX adds two more seats (3 to 5), a longer wheelbase and body, 18-in aluminum wheels with wider tires, and a slightly taller ride height. The trade-off is less cargo volume behind the first row (52.8 vs 77.4 cu-ft) and a wider turning radius. No additional features become standard on the STX.
Pick the XL if: You need maximum cargo space or carry only two passengers regularly. · Pick the STX if: You regularly carry five passengers and prefer aluminum wheels over steel.
