Trying to decide on a used suv

[PyRo]

Check out 97+ Toyota 4Runners. As long as you don't go with the 4 cylinder engine, you should have plenty enough power.

I think money is an issue their.

...Way to go Mr.Obvious. WHat does being a Toyota have anything to do with this? Toyotas are awesome vehicles, I know... I work at a Toyota Dealership in Michigan.

If you're looking for size = reliability... Look into an older 4runner, not the new body-style. The older ones run forever and you can beat the hell out of them. You should be able to find a 95-ish with about 70k+ for about 5 grand.

The Jeep Cherokee is a wonderful choice as well, the Grand Cherokees are JUNK.

I gotta agree with the used Toyota.... might throw in a Nissan Pathfinder as well.... As far as for a used high mileage SUV these would be ones I would be looking at. Because they are the only ones I can feel comfy with high mileage.

Do you really need SUV though? I mean there are other ways to get you what you want. Your existing truck with a nice capper and some organizer stuff under that can be a nice versitile set up. Just a thought. You can do a lot of stuff back in there. For little money. Like a grand or so can really get you a lot of dry secure storage.

Those cherokees will hit 100 billion miles right along side the toyotas and nissans.

Pfft.... yea right....

Why not? Iv'e seen several with 200k+ no major repairs, valve covers never off, and tons of them with around 170 in great shape..

how about an old Chevy K5 blazer, 350 fuel injected, 4x4
a transmission with overdrive, you'll get around 20mpg depending on if you've got a lead foot or not and the gearing and tire combo.

but seriously though, nice vehicles, we used to have one, you can pull off the rear fiberglass top and use it as a convertable in the summer time.

we only had problems with ours because it had a bent from (someone got into an accident with it before we owned it and the body shop sucked that repaired it)

A bent what?

I have an 84 4Runner that has alomst 150k on it , no major repairs except the clutch. It has rust and all that on the body but none on the chasis. Still runs great when it is taken out.

Unfortunatly it was later discovered that most K5 blazers didn't have any metal used in their construction. Instead they were built from compacted rust just like the toyotas.
