So, if I HAD to sell.....

[Bikemobile]

New Chevy Colorado ZR2 with a matching topper/camper shell. Lockers, shocks, clearance, gadgets. The only downside being it might be a little long but not any longer than a silverado or sierra crew.

Acura MDX.

' 15 Traverse AWD works as nice as my brother in law's Acura and dependable at a much cheaper price. New body style for the '18s give a negligible more room, but the '17s which have all the bugs worked out can be had at bottom floor pricing.

​The new Nissan Rogues are pretty nice (2014+). They are a crossover, have CVT, and are a crossover. TFL car and some others have done videos and they apparently have pretty good AWD system, compared to similar crossovers (CRV, Escape, etc.). they are also the roomiest small crossover I've been in. In my opinion, most interior space you get in a similar-sized car. I'd assume they do pretty well in snow and mud. Not sure about offloading for any of these crossovers, though. They have good reliability ratings and are priced VERY nicely right now as well.

I always liked the Nissan Xterra's. I think they stopped making them last year though but can find plenty used ones.

2015 was the last year for the Xterra. I ALMOST bought one, and I would have had I known it was the last production year.

 

If I don't end up just keeping the truck or getting a cap, the vehicles I'm primarily looking at are the Durango and Acadia/Traverse. Also looking at the Pathfinder but I'm weary of the CVT in the conditions I'll have the vehicle in.

4wd SLE Yukons at Laura GMC for 48K. Alot of vehicle for the money IMO and far superior ride, comfort, and tech than a 4runner with comparable fuel economy.

I wouldn't trade my truck for any smallish crossover regardless of brand (Audi, Hyundai, Subaru) Agree that price of large SUV's (Tahoe, Expedition, etc...) can get eye wateringly expensive.

With that said perhaps the camper shell option might be a good choice. Some of them with side glass and color match do indeed resemble a Suburban.

If you're looking for so,etching to take off road the 4 runner is a good choice, even all the newer Tacoma guys are ditching the truck for the 4Runner. If it's staying on road, I have a Lexus RX 350 and that's a great car.

I bought a beater blazer..for those that are eyeing Kia of hyundai, be warned that they are stickers on that warranty..we had two kia sorento both grenade engines and complete ac systems under 100k miles and Kia said it all from lack of maintance..all had to be paid out of pocket

I second the topper. I also just rented a 2017 Durango 6cyl. That is a nice vehicle i almost want to buy one myself as a second vehicle but my second vehicle needs to get 30mpg plus.

Not a problem if you get service at the dealership. Ive owed 4 never a problem with warranty all service at the dealership, small price to pay for the warranty.

True, just saying that the amount of huge failures with so few miles has convinced me that Korean autos are junk. I've never seen an engine fail, the one I maintained got high end fluids and oil changes at 5k on the dot, with 99% highway miles on it. And ended up throwing a rod ..but like anything in life, everybody has different experience with different brands

What i've seen from the korean brands, their resale values are in the toilet. A coworker of mine just took it in the shorts trading in his 2015 Sante Fe on a new F-150, lost almost half its value.

Toyota 4 Runner for SUV.

Have a Subaru Crosstrex and Outback. Insane everything but thinking severe terrain ground clearance could be an issue.

wrangler with enclosed trailer.

Always liked the 4runners. Almost bought one over my '17 Silverado.
