I’ll be looking for a good used 4X4 four-door soon. Something easy to maintain. Any suggestions?

Here’s what I was looking at:
Nissan Frontier
Chevy Trailblazer
Subaru Outback
Whatever similar

Appreciations in advance.

What is the purpose? Budget?

We have shrunk from a Suburban to a Yukon for a people mover. For cargo I rely on a tandem axle trailer. The Yukon will still carry four adults in comfort, five adults with the three in the middle seat somewhat cozy. If we use the third row, it is really crowded, but we seldom have the need.

In your budget you need to keep operating expenses in mind. I needed a third stoplight replacement for the Yukon last month. $260.00+ at the dealer, but “only” $70.00 on line. Same with tires, the Yukon has 17 inch which are slightly more costly than 16.

All the electronic gadgetry is also more difficult and thus more costly to maintain. If you can’t afford it, don’t buy it.
