Had lots of SUVs and crossovers.

Minivans suck.

They are nice but the third row is a joke unless you have elementary age kids

Highest rated SUV according to several sites is the Hyundai Palisade

Love my palisade, but there is just so little cargo room...

Signed, every SUV.

That's the biggest downfall of switching to SUV. If you still have kids, I'd stick with minivan. Can't beat

But, the biggest downfall of a minivan is that it's a minivan.

Adrielle

Haha That's exactly what we've used with our family.

Soupie

Didn't most grownups get over that stupid stigma about 10 years ago?

The only people who hate minivans are those who don't own one.

I own one. Prefer SUVs

I had one for years. It was extremely practical and utilitarian. And I hated it.

Adrielle

7/9/20 8:23am

So you hate practical, utilitarian things?

ebv

If it's a minivan, yes.

Towing in a minivan is . . . less ideal. Best to get an SUV or Truck for towing

ebv

Bought an Ascent last fall and have loved it. Can't beat Subaru 4WD.

Soupie

7/9/20 12:31am

Doesn’t it feel underpowered? Being a 4-cyl and all

maxpowers

7/9/20 12:43am

Not at all. Haven't towed anything yet but can pull 5K lbs. No problems over Alpine loop or hills on freeway. Guess

Soupie

No. It is very peppy.

Time for a suburban or Excursion.

Better deal right now is on the GMC version of the Suburban. Nicer interior,

We ditched the minivan for a Yukon XL because we wanted more cargo space behind

Nuke

You give up a lot of leg room in the 3rd row for that trade off.

Baron

Pathfinder with luggage rack. We have a '13, and you could get good space on the

Sounds like your options are a minivan or a Suburban, but you won't find a Suburban with similar year and miles

bag

7/9/20 6:07am

Your only option is a minivan. Nothing comes close in the 3rd row leg room.

Baron

7/9/20 6:14am

Yep. 3rd row in SUVs are awful. It's like riding in a cop car

Look into the Kia Telluride. Seriously. Decent third row leg room.

ebv

7/9/20 6:23am

Does the third row in SUVs lay down so you can have all the room you need for

Fdnman

7/9/20 6:53am

In the Expedition Max it does. The back row is split so you can lay just half

Just get a minivan. But if an SUV, 4wd 4Runner with the third row.

Yukon XL or suburban.

We purchased a Toyota Sequoia. It’s not in the price range that you would like..

I highly doubt I'll ever tow anything with it, but I appreciate your concern.

If 220 HP isn't enough for you what are you doing looking for a vehicle with 6
