What suv to get?

[Halon]

I can provide a little feedback on my experience with my Envoy. I love it. The TB/Envoy's run forever. The Inline 6's run very smooth and don't quit, and have enough power to tow larger things OK like our boat and occasional car on a flatbed. They are very decently priced too. I'm at 140k on mine right now, planning on taking it to 200k. My dad also has one and he loves it.

The downfalls of it are gas mileage (applies to pretty much any SUV). On a long highway drive I can get low 20's. Mixed driving I'm usually right around 18-20mpg. Also the 4wd system I'm not the most impressed with.

But I love it. Still looks nice for it's age (you'd never think it is an 03 w/ 140k at first glimpse), runs real well, maintenance to it is fairly simple and cheap, and tows (boat and car) pretty regularly in the summer and it's still kicking. I've had to do a couple things to it (i.e. $20 tranny solenoids), but nothing all that crazy for a vehicle it's age/mileage.


I also have a buddy who loves his grand cherokee's. Feels much more like a car than some of the other SUV's I've been in. They are pretty nice. But he rarely is able to get out of the teens for mileage.
