The door is quite hard to open and close. The others are fine. Is this a simple lube job (WD40, oil grease) on the hinges?
TIA

Also look at the door stop under the door.

Have had a fair bit of success with Silicon lube for sticky doors - WD40 didn't seem to work for too long whilst the silicon lasted.

I think the door stay/stop/strap for the rear pass door is in the middle of the door, not under.
Rear load/tailgate door is under for sure.
Give it anything just to see if anything helps .. even just a small drop of oil. Hinges too of course.
if it doesn't help, could be that the door stay may have collapsed a bit too.
As RRT said, I also found silicon spray a bit more longer lasting and effective.

I carry a can of spray lithium grease and use liberally on all hinges and the door latch mechanisms. And having a rear cargo barrier and no access to the internal handle I pay special attention to the troublesome (for some) rear tailgate latch mechanism - and have never had an issue with it. 🤞🏽🤞🏽
