Guess I'm gonna have to buy a Ford.
Lol that is just my experience with them.. It is just hard to change my mind when I know different people with different driving styles that have all had issues.. And add in the ones I test drove.. Its enough to keep me away... I like those 4runners... Usually can be found around here for somewhat cheap

You're too far away tech.
I know...

If you wanna get a Ford, DON'T get a 6.0L, 6.4L or 6.7L Powerstroke. Get either the 7.3IDI Turbo or 7.3LPSD turbo.

you are complaining about 3rd row seating when you originally were talking about getting a quad cab pickup?

hell why don't you just get an excursion...largest fuel guzzling SUV ever made.

Stupid Useless Vehicle. could come up with a dozen others...but it sums it up. I have always thought SUV's were the most ridiculous vehicles on earth. you want to cart people around, get a van.. want to haul stuff, get a truck. want to commute get a car. need 4x4, well any of those can be equipped with it... hell could even get the lesbian limo subaru wagons...

My quad cab truck seats 6 legally. The 3 row seating Rango's seat 7 legally, the 4 Runners seat 5 legally. I have 4 kids and a wife, need seating for at least 6, hence the Rango or another quad cab pickup.

you need a van soccer mom...

chevy astro AWD with 4.3L vortec

seats 6 comfortably in 6 captains chairs, plus 2 extra in between the 2nd and 3rd row in the uncomfortable center seats...

they also have rear heat and a/c and rear headphone jacks and audio controls so they can listen so something different than the driver/front passenger.

they go anywhere in the snow and ice being all wheel drive and 4 wheel anti-lock brakes.

my mom had one for years and loved it. had leather interior and every option you could get for it...think it was a 2000...

Chevy Astro? Blah. Hardly have enough ground clearance even in AWD. Besides, you don't have a bed...

Just go for a Cummins 4x4 5 or 6 spd Stewie. You won't regret it.

you don't need ground clearance unless you plan on doing hardcore offroad...

Well I'm keeping my 2wd Ram either way. So I'd still have a truck, just not a 4wd drive one.
