Dodge Journey, Jeep Compass, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, Chevrolet Equinox. All junk lol

Pontiac Aztek 😂 unless your name is Walter White

Land Rover

Traverse, Acadia, Jeep Compass and Liberty, anything Hyundai.

Anything made by Chrysler/Fiat/Stellantis/whatever they were called that day

Favorite is the 2nd gen, good looks and how innovative it was for the industry at large.

22 Limited with Sync4A added. I wish it had CCD but it's a nice ride. You want a late build 22 or newer to get rid of the CDF drum issue but in reality for most people it's not a concern.

1999 - 2002 *Eddie Bauer OG Original! Super durable. *Air suspension! *Easy to service and restore!

2003 - 2006 *simple interiors, a lot of modern comfort tech *inexpensive, some available with super low miles at cheap prices *smoother and quieter ride than 1st gen *Can be very reliable with stringent maintenance *Air suspension option

My 2016 is at 250k on the clock and still going strong. I personally have a love hate relationship with it but it has not led me astray yet

I got ours to do family hauling and take us off-road to the drive on beaches and forest road adventures, but in the Max flavor. The Timberline sadly doesn't come in Max, so I got an HD Tow Limited with 2 speed tcase. Tow and 4lo gives the lower 3.73 gear ratio and the option to go very low if needed even when I go bigger on the tires. The panoramic sunroof is great for the passengers, and the power running boards have been a big plus while dealing with some health issues. Not sure but most of the power running boards I have seen are Platinum or Limited, so I guess a Platinum MAX with HD tow and 2 speed tcase would be favorite since it has a few extra HP.

The 18-20 have an engine issue and 18-22 have a transmission issue that's common, so most say buy newer. But if I were buying today for off-road use, I'd still get a 18 or 19. They have cam phaser and CDF drum issues, but they come at a good discount because of it. I'd look for close to 100k and then get the 36m/60k ESP and then be aware they would need to see some shop time.

I won't. Granger for life. 8 seats, has an FIB version, is cool

Applies to no other SUV

Rancher XL.  That 80s body style suburban!!

I can't, you keep slowly driving away in it.

After Toreador this should be the next rocket Powered ground vehicles special feature

FOR DEMOCRA- wait wrong game

Halloweentown 2? At this time of year, at this time of day,  localized entirely within the GTAO subreddit?

Definitely Kia telluride

Why are we entertaining this with zero details? The guy claims he doesn’t know what a Suburban is, or what could be noteworthy about nearly the biggest, longest running suv in existence.

Op, if you aren’t CarMa farming, I’ll eat my hat.

2025 lexus gx 550 are my top

For daily use, this one has a quiet cabin and smooth ride, and isn’t overpriced.

If you’re looking for the best SUV to own right now, the Kia Seltos takes the crown with its bold design, premium features, and fun-to-drive engines. It’s stylish, tech-loaded, and perfectly balanced for both city and highway drives.

Close behind is the Hyundai Creta, known for its strong sales and versatile engine options. The Maruti Brezza stands out for reliability and efficiency, while the Tata Nexon impresses with its 5-star safety rating and EV option.

But overall, the Kia Seltos remains the most complete package in its class.

GMC Yukon. Thing is an animal and I can’t say enough nice things about my 2003.

I’d check out Mitsubishi Monteros as well if you are looking for cheaper off-road capable SUVs. Don’t forget about older 4Runners as well since they’re cheaper than Land Cruisers

Bought mine in 2003 brand new. The biggest thing I replaced was a transfer case and it was my fault 100%. I never have replaced the shocks or chassis since the day I bought it. 218k miles and counting. The 5.3 V8 I’ve had has seen e85 it’s entire life and no issues ever, the first fuel pump popped at 215k miles. They are one of the best vehicles ever made in my opinion and nobody today can build a vehicle as durable as those things. Just tiny issues here and there such as burning oil and needing to clean the intake every so often but I’d rather have that instead of an actual issue.

Had an 02’ Tahoe brand new got sold in 2015 with 180k miles. Biggest issue I had was drivers power window went out so that was an easy, cheap fix. Leaked some oil from time to time but was very minor.

Thanks for the reply. The Chevy is looking like a good option it seems, along with the GMC. Would you happen to know what kind of electrical problems it has? Would they have been easily fixed cheap or was it just too much for a 600k km driven car?

the land cruiser is the most reliable thing you can buy. Also the most capable offroad on the list.

Badlands also has the marine seats and vinyl floors with drain plugs. Dish soap and easily cleaned! My Honda element had the same floor and was a big reason behind the badlands.

Outer Banks has all of the creature comforts, but only has the basic set of off-road features. Granted, the "basic off-road features" on the Bronco is still much more capable than most other SUVs, but it's lacking those advanced features. Most people would consider the Outer Banks to be the Bronco that is more suited for everyday driving and less suited for off-roading.

The Badlands has all of the off-roading features the Bronco has to offer. Obviously you can still drive it on a daily basis, but due to those off-road features it is a heavier vehicle, gets slightly worse fuel economy, and is a little more mechanically complicated.

One is not better than the other when it comes to being the better family car. Really comes down to if you intend on off-roading or not.

Badlands has a disconnecting stabilizer bar in the front, more aggressive off road tires and enhanced suspension for off road. Outer Banks would make a better commuter if you don’t plan on going off road. It’s still very capable off road just more geared towards daily drivers.

Can badlands go with high/lux tech package? Builds and options have changed recently and I'm out of touch.

Badlands has every thing the OB has and more. It’s a higher trim level.

You just described a Toyota Sequoia, honestly. If you’re looking for slightly smaller but still towing capable, the 4Runner is also spot on.

With your budget and needs you are 100% in land cruiser territory. There’s no better option for the price

Lexus GX

2-3 year old Lexus GX 460. They're bulletproof.

used land cruiser

Geez with all the transmission problems still present in the ‘22? I’ll take my ‘23 Touring any day of the week. Hoping for a hybrid or Wilderness version in the future. But I’m totally happy with mine, other than the occasional CarPlay disconnect.

Went from 2022 Touring to 2025 Onyx Touring and the 2025 is amazingly more refined in a majority of ways. Even the sunglasses holder has smoother operation. The CVT programming is much more controlled. The rear LED lighting for the hatch area is 100 percent better. Amazing what just three years brought to the platform. Auto side mirror folding and much more convenient features

This is pretty shallow, but I prefer the look of the 22 Onyx over everything else.

I owned the 2022 and currently own the 2023 and I’ll take the 23 any day. Smoother drive and I don’t mind the less buttons

2019 Ascent w/ 118,000 miles.

Second best. Your moms actually the best midsized suv in the world.

I couldn’t be happier with this addition. I got a killer of a deal at $3800 cash. 3.4 twin cam with a 4 speed / overdrive transmission. Also a 2 inch suspension lift was added by the previous owner. 175k miles which is hardly enough to concern a loyal Toyota driver. I can’t wait to do some serious grocery getting in this. I truly believe that the 4runner is the best small to mid sized suv every envisioned. This easily distinguishes itself from blazers, jeeps and explorers

I had a 2000 Limited and it was a fantastic vehicle. Keep and eye out for trans fluid in the coolant bottle. And Enjoy it!

I got 2003 V8 with more than 1/4 million miles on it. Still drive like a champ.

That’s my drink of choice I suppose. I’ve had real good luck with Toyotas and Lexuses over the years. I own an Lexus ES as well.
