I'm currently shopping for a 3rd row SUV to handle the family and dogs. Im eyeing the Traverse, Tahoe, Expedition, and Explorer...
Mainly looking at the big 3 and what they offer. The biggest question I have is, are the crossover vehicles like the Traverse or Exploder as likely to last as their truck based counterparts?
I'd like to get 12+ years out of it to justify the cost. I've never really had a crossover, but the truck based SUVs seem to be time tested, regularly exceeding 200k miles.
Does anyone have any experience or thoughts?
Realistically it will haul the family most days. I do like the higher towing capacity on the Tahoe, but I don't tow much. We do have a small gentleman's farm, but shouldn't need to tow anything too heavy... Even my tractor only weighs about 1500 lbs, with a trailer if would still be under the Traverse tow rating of 5k.
Mostly, I want a larger and reliable family mover with some towing capacity and longevity.
