I would strongly suggest against the jeep.

Truth


Sig Sauer, to hell and back reliable.

Whatever suits you just tickles me plum to death.

Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?

Why not a half ton crew cab pickup with a locking bed cover?

That's what my wife drives, and she loves it.

I’ve got a 2016 Nissan Pathfinder that only got like 6 to 8 thousand on it and is practically brand new. My wife’s mom past recently and she drives her Murano now. Only drive it about 15 miles to work a few days a week just to run it and cut down on mileage on my truck. We been wanting to purchase a Jeep. I would sale it to u for fair market value and u know ur getting a well taken care of vehicle. If it’s something that fits what ur looking for send me a message.

Agreed. Carvana was a really smooth experience.

Ford is offering the Expedition at 0% percent financing for 60 months. That alone should make it a consideration.

I guess I'll be the odd man out on this one. We have a 2015 Grand Cherokee with just under 100k on it and have really enjoyed it. It has everything you can possibly get on a vehicle, gets really good gas mileage and has good cargo space. It doesn't have a 3rd row, though. I had to replace two ignition coils about two months ago, but that has been it. I don't consider that a big deal. I've replaced every one them on my 04 F150 at least once, but in fairness it is pushing 270k these days. Honestly though, the F150 was our preferred vehicle for traveling until it got passed down to my son. Throw a bed cover on it and you can easily carry 5 adults and as much cargo as you want to take with you.

Call me odd, but I've tried to like the Highlander and just can't. It's basically a minivan without the usefulness of sliding doors.

Hands down the best family vehicle for 5 & the occasional guest is a good mini van. Odyssey is top of the list followed by the Sienna. My wife has driven one for 2 decades. We sold our newer Sienna this summer and bought an older Pilot to save $ with some college expenses. But my wife misses the practicality, room, comfort and ease of long trips of a van. About to sell the pilot and get an Odyssey again. I've driven vans plenty and they go from AtoB quite well. Very comfortable. To me that's the point of a family vehicle...room, comfort, practical. Plus fuel economy is better than any large SUV.

Big SUVs are great too but suck much more fuel. And back row ease of getting in and out is harder. Like the ride height better than a van. Expeditions are great vehicles. Suburban/Yukon XL are good. Infinity QX80 looks sharp. Some people just aren't van people.

I have an Honda Odyssey that just crossed 200,000. No major problems. Wife wants a new car, looking at an expedition.
