I am thinking, well more than that, planning to retire my '03 Suburban.
Runs fine but 135k miles and maintenance is getting to be a PIA.
Looking at smaller, cheaper less fuel using options than a real truck and am wondering how well the AWD crossover type vehicles perform on the beaches.
I understand 4wd is not a requirement to be on the beach and have seen plenty of alternative vehicles out there but a real 4wd truck just feels better.
I am going to look at the Tahoe & Highlander hybrids first. I paid $38k for a loaded '03 Suburban and the thought of paying $50k on anything is killing me.
The gas mileage on the Highlander is so tempting.
