Jeep Grand Cherokee and if you want a 3 row the new 2021 has been completely redesigned and is available with 3 rows of seating it’s called Grand Cherokee L if you want full size SUV we’ve had good luck with Ford Expedition and Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon

Haven’t had one because they’re just being introduced but do a search on Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer.

The Grand Cherokee is the most awarded SUV of all time by far.

I connect my iphone and can display either Apple and Google maps on the Sync screen vs paying extra for the built in navigation. .Only concern is that a bag of golf clubs does not fit width-wise in the back. Requires having to fold down at least part of the back seat.

I have a 2019 KIA Sorento and can put 4 golf bags width wise in the back with no problem. Maybe as many as 6.

I love my Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. Good mileage and all the bells and whistles. I believe Jeep has been rated the safest SUV on the road.

In thinking of going this route in a year or so.

Or you could just buy a regular F150 and have lots of money leftover to by a standby home generator.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Lexus RX350. I have had two and driven many thousands of miles coast to coast and up and down the USA. VERY comfortable car to ride in for hours at a time. I feel very safe in such a solid well built car, and that is important to me as a widow traveling on my own. My car will run forever!!

The only reason I traded in my previous model is because I ran into a low mileage newer model that was just too good to pass up. The salesman who made it happen is Charles Calise at Lexus of Wesley Chapel. If you buy a Certified Pre-Owned Lexus you get unbelievable services from Lexus!!

Reading all the makes of vehicles here and how people love what they own, made me wonder.

Think about this, when we pay $40,000 to $70,000 plus for these vehicles, should we expect anything less???

There's no reason anyone would buy anything at these prices and still like them.

Also, if you like them so much, what was the reason to sell/trade????

Bought a 2021 Lexus UXH, getting 45 miles per gallon here in the villages. Small SUV, hybrid, so happy with it.

Got a new 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited right after 2021 came out. Got it at Hyundai of Central Florida, Clermont. No add on fees, no dickering. Saved $8000 since I got 20 model. Only thing I don't like, South Korean tires, at 20000 I'm yanking them off and putting on Michelin's. I recommend these cars, runs smooth, enough power and a great warranty.

I had a 2019 Kia Sorento. Loved it. Made a deal on a 2021 Kia Sorento, SX-Prestige. Very quiet ride and all the safety options one needs and then some. Recommend the Kia without reservation. Got it at Kia Ocala. Dealt with Pete and Guy the new car manager.

Mazda SUV, smooth, fun to drive and never any problems

it depends on the size of the SUV you are looking for we have pricey BMWx3 that is wonderful and we purchased, as well, a new Hyundai Kona which we absolutely love for a fraction of the cost I cannot speak highly enough about this vehicle. I spotted a Kona in TV last spring and I loved the look of the vehicle so I told my husband and we went and test drove several the next day and he was impressed as well. We chose the turbo night edition and think it is the perfect size to travel around TV and for trips down south. I wish you well in your search for what works best for your needs.

We have a 2016 Mazda cx 5. No problems at all. We love it. We also had a 2011 Mazda CX-7 which they no longer make. We loved that too. A test drive convinced us. Solid suv.

Subaru Outback. Do the research and then drive one. It’s a very good investment. 32 avg mpg for us. Best all wheel drive system in the market. Driving is outstanding.
