Well... I was looking at a bunch of different ones..and it took me about two months to actually decide and find the one i wanted.. i went from brand new 2010-11 models all the way thru the 2000s.... Honorable mentions to

2002 ML320 Benz,
2010 Jeep Patriot
2001 Acura MDX


What I ended up with was this baby.... 2000 Lexus RX300 AWD. (sorry took pics at night)

Best of All... It has good milage, and a EXCELLENT service history... it has 200km on it With all but 10 (50,000km) of oil changes accounted for by dealer stamps... Timing belt was done the day i picked it up, transmission religiously serviced ( problem with AWDs) and best of all... I got it certified and emission tested for less then dealer auction wholesale... Seems too good to be true... ive put about 4,000km on it so far and ive replaced a taillight bulb..... so knocking on wood..she seems good to go....

The really good part is the trailer hitch so a nice trailer is in my near future...

What you guys think????
 
Tow Blaster, The two Polaris Trailbosses i have and im thinking about getting a travel trailer for the summertime... not a pop up.. but like a 15-20ft one with a single bedroom and a convertable table to bed thing....
 
Nice score , you will want to look into the towing capacity for a 15-20' trailer . a lot of smaller trucks and suv's have a stated capacity of 5000 lbs , BUT thats a static load , when you go pulling that up a hill it changes everything . My bro's ford full size half ton squatted bad with his 24' aluminum toy hauler on it so bad , he had to put on airbags and load levelers to keep it towable , plus he has to travel with the water and waste tanks almost dry , just the fresh water tanks when full adds 900 lbs to the GVW and all that water sloshing around really pushes a vehicle around and beats on the brakes something fierce .
all that said it looks really nice dude , enjoy it !!!!!!
 
My capacity is 3500lbs.... the trailers im looking at are about 2000lbs weight... really its just for me and my girlfriend and 5 year old... dont need a very big trailer.. just dont want pop up and getting too old for tent..
 
I hope your joking about the FORD?? I work for the coca cola of online auto sales.. im a dealer service rep so i deal with a few of each type of dealer.... me personally i wouldnt buy anything domestic at all... inless it was used and even then they lose their value way too fast.... everyone complains about the cost of repairs on european or asian luxury cars.... but they dont consider that their domestic will lose 70% its value before they've even paid it off...

Ill drive this lexus for two year.. pile on a sh*tload of kms...and ill bet i sell it for damn near what i paid for it..... but im in the industry...so it took a while to make the number jive like that..

Next upgrade is 20" blacked out wheels and a rooftop DVD unit with IR headphones..



Cheers
