I hate that they switched it to a crossover platform... Ruin a semi decent SUV.

They were making it bigger and bigger... Had they kept going they would have had to rebadge it and call it an expedition

Late hubby and I had an exploder. Won't buy a ford again anytime soon.

The Kia Sorento is a pretty nice riding and handling crossover with decent room and cargo room for fairly little money. When my current beater car dies I will probably be replacing it with one of those.

I'm disappointed in you....

Sherrie - go for a Subaru. You have the option of the Outback, Forester, or Tribeca.

Outback

Forester

Tribeca

A Mazda 5 with snow tires would be "good in snow." I call it a mini-minivan. It has sliding rear doors, so it's easy to get stuff (kids) into and out of the rear seats. It can seat 6, if the last two are pretty tiny or four, with a good amount of cargo or 2, with a SHIT-LOAD of cargo. It's pretty good on gas too.

Yeah, my 94 explorer is the same size as the current escape.

I just prefer a RWD based vehicle, with true selectable 4x4.

Traverse... the new version of minivan.

BIL has one and it's a nice vehicle for what it is. A brat hauler.
