SUV opinions wanted

[crippen]

Back on topic. My neighbor has one and loves it. Will you be towing or do you just want a large vehicle like the one you had?

If I tow anything it will be a little Jon boat or something light like that.

Full size chevys can't be beat in my opinion. Mazda is popular primarily for one reason: they will finance ANYONE.

I love our suburban and would by another one in a heart beat. My wife has some chronic pain issues and we are looking for something that is still big enough but will handle a little more like a car.

We had a 2004 GMC Yukon with all the bells and whistles. I bought it in 2008 for $14K from the original owner with 86K miles. When it was stolen, it had 214,000 miles and was still going strong. Gas mileage was 20's all day long.

Honda Pilot, drives like a car, has more room inside than a Tahoe, at least for cargo that is. Only problem is they have no get up and go, we have the 4wd touring edition, stepping on the gas reminds me of a moped.

I've been driving a LOT of vehicles lately. I've yet to find ANY suv that handles even remotely, on it's best day, like a car. Some crossovers certainly come close, but zero SUVs. The best handling and wearing of that group IMO are the Acuras. Unfortunately for a used car buyer, they retain their value REALLY well. And for good reason from what I see.

We need the third row seating though

I guess I should have said handles less like an aircraft carrier.

They come with that (as an option). Heck even RAV4's had 3rd row seating. Better be some tiny peeps though.

Yeah it's all relative but that doesn't really broaden the pool much.

The Toyota FJ cruiser, but they quit making them.
