    Best overland vehicle with 7 seats

    Honestly, I’m a whatever is faithful to me kinda guy. I had a 2006 GMC Sierra Crew Cab 1-ton Dually Duramax and it was a pile... great engine and tranny, but the GM build quality was poor and it broke in $100 bills each month... If my Fords fail I will ditch them and find something else...

    I understand. Your comments help put things in perspective because you were talking about cars that are quite old. My comments above were highlighting a 1998 Suburban that had been through many owners, and probably not well taken care of. My 2003 Expedition, and 2006 F150 were both one owner...

    How many owners had the Ford’s been through before they got to you? I’ve had excellent experience with one owner cars, and with cars I’ve bought new.

    Best overland vehicle with 7 seats

    I think I’ve read that the third row in the Expedition is more comfy than the Suburban... We had a 1998 Suburban briefly, but it broke often so we got rid of it, and I don’t remember about the legroom in it...

    It is sooo hard to even think of new when you have a nice rig that is paid for. Our 03 Expedition payment is a whopping $110/month, so there is no way I would even think of new, even if we could afford it. James

    Getting a Truck! - Which one to buy?

    So if you’re already pinstriping a midsize, then what is the difference? :) May as well have the comfort and power of the full size, with the pinstripe package! (Plus the OP mentioned a full size, so I was kinda addressing him) :):):) James

    Getting a Truck! - Which one to buy?

    I know I chimed in earlier, but a litte more food for thought... The full size option is the way to go in my opinion. Way more room, bigger payload and towing capacity, but most of all, way more room :) With that being said, I’ve become a gigantic fan of the V8s in the full sized rigs (Ford...

    Getting a Truck! - Which one to buy?

    I wouldn’t touch a Colorado with a ten foot pole. We had one at the shop a fee months ago eith vey few miles on it, and it was literally falling apart as we drove it around the lot... e brake handle came off in my hand, door panels loose, drivetrain rattles, and various other missing trim...

    Slowly but Shirlee the '91 Toyota Single Cab

    I like that stance and the way the tires poke out just a little bit. My F150 has the same thing going on. James

    Do you have a preferred screen size for off road navigation? (vehicle)

    It’s certainly less involved for your memory if everything is the same. The last thing Inwant to think about is tech stuff on the road, it just needs to be second nature, and work. Apple is easy, and hard to brick. Typically a simple power cycle fixes whatever problems are occuring.

    Do you have a preferred screen size for off road navigation? (vehicle)

    Ipad air2 with bad elf gps pro+ for me. No regrets. It doubles as my music player so I don’t care that it blocks the radio.
