Roof rack


Two suggestions.......

Whatever you get, make sure it has, or you can put a roof rack on it. We have a basket type and it can hold a lot of stuff.

Also look at a "hitch hauler".......a basket/platform that goes into your trailer hitch....again, it can hold a lot of stuff, frees up room on the inside

why do you need an suv when there are "hatchbacks"


We need something bigger than a CRV or RAV, we have 2 Grandchildren and another on the way next month...and all their gear too. For such little people it's amazing how much gear ya need for kids LOL!


with children in the mix...safety would be a concern too
they don't have a choice what you drive

you still haven't stated us a budget$$$

remember you are only driving up and down to YOUR house...not on a camping trip in the "backwoods"

With a good 4WD you could go out to the 'boonbocks' and show your grandkids more Baja!

Do you really need a SUV???. If you are just looking to haul things/people, I would suggest a 4 door pickup and if necessary throw on an inexpensive camper shell....doesn't have to be 4WD, does it???
