It seemed like a good idea...

I have a 2013 and love it. Does everything I need it to. Great room and storage room in the back. Threw a roof rack on which makes cargo capacity awesome.

Tows my little boat great and cannot even feel it (only like 500lbs total).

AWD works pretty good as well! Average about 25-27mpg with it.

This is a great camping vehicle. I also can fit a full size crate in the back for the doggo and only take up half the rear space.

And can tow my bike with ease to the race track.

Only semi complaint is that it doesnt like hills very much. Lots of downshifting and holding higher revs. But that seems to be my experience with most 4 cyl vehicles. I live in a pretty hilly area.

Boat and rack loaded for a camping trip:




Motorcycle and trailer: (This was a test fit after I refurbed this trailer. Hence the lacking rear straps on the bike and trailer front jack down.)

We just spent a couple of days looking at these SUV's Ths Forester, CRV and Rav4. While they all look nice sitting on the lot and features are all about the same not one jumped out that I had to have. Seems like alot of fluf. Looking to replace my 2013 Edge but not sure any of the 3 above will be it.

My brother has had three or four of them between his wife and kids. My son's wife drives one. All have been quality.

Lude. That is a sharp looking vehicle.

If you don't mind my asking, are those factory or aftermarket wheels?

The old lady and I have a 2002 Highlander that only has has about 60,000 miles on it. We've discussed blacking out the wheels like yours.

Thanks.

The wheels are actually the base LE wheels. I just took the hub caps off Big Grin

Ok, gotcha. Thanks. We will probably end up powder coating the factory wheels black.

Thank you.
