| The 2020 Explorer is a very nice vehicle, but may be smaller than your needs. I am on my 5th new Expedition in a row (2000, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2018). And, the new body style is acres nicer than the previous version. It's faster, quiet, handles really nice with the aluminum body, is really nice inside and etc. etc.I just did a 250 mile trip to Tampa, and averaged 22 MPG at 80 MPH on cruise control, both directions. I did get a 2016 as a rental once with the ecoboost and it was nice, faster than my 2008 at the time, but nothing like the new body style in regards to acceleration, handling, comfort and quiet. Check out www.offleaseonly.com they usually have a lot of them at good prices. |

I have but there seems to be a marked lack of the 5.7 Hemi versions around, and again, I'm not sure on the third row availability. |

| Take a look at the Highlander. Stay away from a Durango unless you enjoy headaches.

Raised Hands Surround Us Three Nails To Protect Us

| Tahoes and Expeditions are a plenty under 150k miles (I just spent a over a month shopping them). We have a Suburban and Expedition EL (we needed the cargo room too). The Expedition rides much better than Suburban and the Suburban has the fancy magnetic ride. The cylinder deactivation on the GMs is awful!! I bought a module to delete it and it drives like a dream now. The Expeditions are a tad bit cheaper than the GMs. The 16/17 Expedition I prefer to the 18+. Between the 2 I would go with the Expedition. We got rid of a Highlander for the Suburban as we needed more room. The in-laws had a Tahoe and stepped up to a Suburban. They also have a Highlander and just wish they would have gotten a 2nd Suburban. It is a pain to get kids in the 3rd row of the Highlander.
———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand. You should know I'll be there for you!

We're looking at maybe a later (2016+) Tahoe or Expedition
I'd stay away from any Chevy product with the 4L60E transmission (absolute trash). However, their 4L80E which is in most 3/4 ton products is bulletproof.

| We enjoy our 2017 Highlander. Trouble free and a pleasure to drive or ride in. |

Awaits his CUT of choice
| We have been quite happy with our 2014 Acura MDX. Lots of bells and whistles and 3rd row seating. Rated at 5K lbs of towing. |
