Time to replace the Envoy

[Halon]

Do you happen to know what year Tahoe's started allowing streaming of music through the bluetooth? I read some stuff that even though the earlier models had bluetooth, you couldn't stream music through it. Hoping maybe you have access to the facts.

2014 is the first model year where the Tahoes had MyLink with bluetooth streaming.

I'm in the same boat but not looking for as big of an suv. Test drove a 2011 grand cherokee this week and thought it was nice, drove a trailblazer they had for cheap with low miles and it was a slow boat compared to the jeep. I'm going to go test a few more out soon. If you can swing the Lexus I would do that or a new tahoe/ Yukon. I wouldn't call the rx470 a girls ride, the rx350 is a bit more girly but I'm even looking at those :-)

What kind of price range you looking at?

That's the one thing I wish my Tahoe had. I added the factory nav a few years ago. 2007-2009 didn't have any BT, 2010-2013 did plus have the sub plug,but don't allow streaming. You can get a BT adapter since they have the aux port, I've got one I haven't tried yet.

Oh yeah, I'd pick the Yukon out of that group, I'm getting another one when mine hits a certain mileage. Awesome truck overall with a few small upgrade touches.

The Durango and the Grand Cherokee are the same chassis and drivetrain. The jeep I think is nicer inside then the durango. They hold up well in crashes from what I have seeing. I have fixed a couple so far amd they are built tough and right. Good luck on finding the one you want.

I think I goofed up the name, it's the GX460 I was looking at. Grand Cherokee is basically same as the Durango, just without the 3rd row. My buddy has one and they are nice!

Rosey, never even considered the Touareg. I'll check them out. Any advice on what years/models to look at? I'm a VW noob.

[Trogdor]

Repairs/maintenance on a Touarge are astronomical! I've seen many traded in over the last couple years, due strictly to their costly maintenance.

Yea I'm staying away from audi and vw for the next whip, the toureg is jeep sized. The Durango is the same chasis as the GC but it's about a foot longer and has third row which I don't need.

I'm looking at prices from mid teens to low 20s, with under 60k. I'll let you know what else I'm checking out, I've done a ton of research already so I'm just waiting until my car is sold to do anything.
