    All the Toyota real SUVs are on their last years. 4Runner is way past due for a new model, but I don’t see a new one coming until late 2021, at the earliest. It’s 10 years old. Sequim’ s and Land Crusiers are much younger. That said, we are probably going to buy one in the spring. They get crappy mileage due to have a ancient 3 speed transmission , but most of the bugs are worked out and it has a lot of the safety features in the 2020 models.

    Explorer is new. Jeep Grand Cherokee is due for a new model soon, Wranglers are pretty new- but who knows when you can get a Bronco. The big GM suvs are new.

    I was in the same boat last summer. Basically I was told to stay away from CVT in general, unless you plan to lease.

    I owned a 2007 Pathfinder that I drove for 275k miles with zero major problems, just standard maintenance. I traded it in last year for a 2015 Xterra and hope to get the same. A sample of one but still a sample. However, I do not like the current rendition of the Pathfinder as I think it is ugly and just a SUV bodied Maxima.

    I do low voltage type work and have done a bunch for the Toyota plants here in the US. They make the engines for the Tacomas and Tundras in Huntsville AL, and have a huge plant in KY for full assembly of some cars (don't remember which ones.) They employ a ton of Americans and have a great environment. They are non-Union.

    I also bid on some work for GM and lost it to the local union electrician who bid 5x my number. My 4Runner also got a ticket while parked on the GM property because it was a foreign car.

    Unionized American auto manufacturing is a disgrace.

    ^^^ This, and I own a full size GMC pickup and a Chevy Traverse currently. I would stay away from Nissan, the CVT's are horrible. My wife had a 2009 Rogue that 2 replaced under warranty, where the car sat in the shop for multiple weeks, and then we bought a Altima that got almost 40mpg, but the transmission went out on that too and we ended up moving on from Nissan all together.

    If it wasn't for the unions and wanton waste a loaded F150 or Silverado would cost $25k. I worked at a tier 1 supplier to all the major OEM's and saw first hand how they flush money down the toilet on a regular basis.

    Toyota, Honda, or Subaru.

    We have had at least one of each. Currently have a Subaru Forester, Toyota Tacoma, and a Nissan Titan. The Titan has been a great truck with 150k trouble free miles. The Subaru has been a great car for my wife. We are ready to replace it, as hers is an 09 with 120k. She had a CRV before, and for the most part it was great. The Toyota Highlander was a great vehicle, but watch the newer ones. They went to a 10spd trans in 2013, and it has had some growing pains. The 2012 Highlander is the one to get. They sell for a premium, and sell fast!

    As mentioned, Nissan has had some real problems with their CVT's. I did rent a Rogue when in LA last Christmas, and it was a nice vehicle to drive, even in the crazy LA freeways!

    A 4Runner is kind of a BCM of SUVs. Nissan would be your M&P Sport.
    So you are saying that Toyota's don't drive straight?

    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.
