Lauren Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 My buddy traded in his 2016 ml Mercedes for a new Durango RT and loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Was it the 2015 SUV Pilot or the 16+ Mini-van pilot? I guess they are similar. Id recommend a 4Runner if you are into the more 'actual-SUV' category. They are a lot smaller than those two, but you arent going to lose a boatload of value like a Cherokee likely would.

spankis Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Not sure on your utility requirements, but we just got an '18 CR-V for the wife and like it a lot. Used 17s are tough to find and aren't much less than new at all. Touring doesn't add a whole lot, so we got an EX-L. Amazed at the room inside and mileage so far, even with AWD.

I was convinced we would buy a Crv too we drove a Pilot and it felt a lot smoother and you could do 4 up and drive for a few hours WAF was good too.

PRD2BDF Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 I absolutely love my Durango. Another one to consider is the Nissan rogue. I think it's severely underrated by others. I had one for a rental for almost a month. It was really nice and comfortable to the point j considered one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) I hear nothing but great things on the Pilots. However, I just sold my STi and went to a 2015 Subaru Outback. It has been my wife's car for 3 years and I have secretly wanted it as mine. The MPG is around 30. Very roomy, and I can fit a ton of stuff from the hardware store in it. Resale holds good value and the maintenance is simple. If you decide on a new Subaru, let me know and I will get you $500 off from Subaru.

SpaceGhost Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 If you can get a Jeep Grand Cherokee ecoDiesel I highly recommend it. 30 MPGs on trips, and a 600 mile range. Love ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the ecodiesels suffer the same reliability issues as the gas versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now cherokees on the other hand are nothing but issues... Edited April 13, 2018 by Turbs3000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Wife drives a '17 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk that has been a great vehicle for the time we have it. It is the V6 model, but still does pretty good with the 8 speed transmission. Got 24 mpg on a trip down to FL loaded with 4 adults and luggage. Real question is really what do you want out of the SUV? Size, status, towing, 4wd, 3rd row, etc? We mainly went with the JGC because of the towing capacity as we are going to be purchasing a camper soon. 6,200 lbs with the V6 and 7,200 lbs with a V8 is the highest in it's class.

carl1647545492 Posted April 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 It's for her to drive and I think she wants some bling not towing or 3rd row. I said lets go look at a Lexus 350 and she was all over that shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
