Gm offers an all wheel drive van. It's like a Tahoe/burban frame with a refrigerator on top. No low range but does well for my friend.
Don't buy a Commander with the sun roof. They leak and destroy electrical doodads in the dash. I silicone sealed mine shut, and I live in San Diego where it...
I have a 07 Commander Overland edition. The seats fold flat in seconds both 3rd and 2nd row. The problem is the 3rd row is more of a 2.5 row. It's small.
The reliability is less than I would like. The hemi and awd are great and fun to drive. The mpg and range, not so much. It is my DD and our...
Its the prop 65 warnings that showed up a decade or so ago. Dont worry, getting cancer can be some of the funest things you can do. Having it is a different story.

My dad used to be a butcher. I knew exactly how and when it was killed. Maybe not so much now, but I do love me some steak.

I guess I would eat road kill in survival mode but I prefer when my meat comes on a Styrofoam tray with a price tag. I know, city slicker.

When I was a Field Surveyor my last work truck was a 2011 5.7 double cab. I got it with 230 miles and 3 years later it had 110,000. I basically had 1 day overland trips every day and put it in 4wd 2-3 times a week. Loved that truck. Only knock is fuel range and small brakes.
