Truck, truck, or you could go with a truck. Topper for the dog, plus adds tons of cargo space since they lock. Used F150 woulld be good. Used Toyota would be great, but they hold their value so well, you will spend more. I've got a 2012 Tacoma 4x4 deluxe cab with a matching topper, and it does all the stuff you are talking about plus it's cool cuz it's a truck.

I like the Toyota Tundra, but don't they get crappy gas mileage?

I have a Mazda CX-5.

Decent space, has models with AWD and can get 30 mpg on the highway. Mazda makes pretty solid cars and aren't too expensive.

CX-5 is very nice. Oh, BTW the Equinox has the highest safety ratings in the class (tied with CRV) as well as J.D. Powers #1 in initial quality.....just sayin'.

Just watched a video on the 2018 Chevy Equinox. Looks good. Very tough segment.

I was reading your list, saw 1. and 2. and in my head I said, "oh he should look at a Subaru Outback" and then I saw 3.

I'll give a +1 to the F150. My father picked one up and he loves it. The premium SUVs have completely unjustifiable price tags at this point. It's really been building for the last 10 years or so, but at this point there is no reason to go that route.

Stay the **** away from the Acadia.

Run run fast

I have a used Crew Cab, XLT, 4x4, 2016 F-150 with 19 miles on it. Thats your truck. Had minor transport damage, Ford bought it from the dealer, we bought it from Ford. You can buy considerably less than a new one.

These SUVs only really seat four comfortably anyway. Plus I can tow more.

Traverse is the same as an Acadia or Enclave FWIW. Wife and I just hate the look of the Traverse vs Acadia/Enclave

What year? 2010-2013 they were the worst rated suv iirc. Anything newer they don't know yet lol.

Ac issues, p/s issues, suspension issues, electrical issues, water pump issues...

Consider a Honda Ridgeline? A little bigger than a Colorado, a whole lot better equipped. Kinda an awesome vehicle for someone that would love a mid size SUV but wants some benefits of a truck.

Might as well buy something like an F-150 that does everything a ridgeline does better for the same money~

Might as well keep pimpin' Fords and being the salesman that you are. This is a line of shit. If you're going to buy an F150, you might as well buy a Silverado, Tundra, or Ram and get a man's truck.
