Alright mamas! We’re gonna be shopping around for bigger cars soon since we’ve got a 3rd baby on the way! Looking for a third row SUV!! I’ve been looking at highlanders (my husband works for Toyota) but any other suggestions would be appreciated!!!
I would love a suburban! But I work 30miles from home so I would be spending so much money on gas lol
@lilaa_dunne16 I actually get pretty decent gas mileage. I'm getting 20mpg, where my 4runner i was getting 16
We have an 06 and it has just about 300,000 miles on it that’s my husbands daily but it’s on it’s way out so we were thinking about getting a newer one but idk if I like the look of them!
@lilaa_dunne16, also with these ones you can get captain seats or the regular seats
I don't have an SUV but my brother loves his Honda Pilot and from the times I've borrowed it I really like it
I flip flopped between the highlander and the Honda pilot for SO LONG. I ultimately went with the 2020 highlander because Toyota have only a slightly better reputation and the Highlander has recently been remodeled. I love it and drove with my nieces and nephews (2 high back boosters, and 2 convertible carseats) and didn't feel crammed. The trunk space is decent, we were able to fit a glass door with all the rear seats folded except one and close the trunk...but my mil drives a 2018 traverse and it's slightly wider which makes it roomier for adults (we drove it when we went out with bil and partners, so 6 adults 5 being 6') and there was plenty of room.
Toyota’s are amazing and hold their value so well! My husband works on them for a living which is why we’ve been really considering a 14/15 one but still want to shop around! I love the traverse too! But the older ones are so ugly lmao I have a Chevy Cruze now so I would love to stay in the Chevy lane
@lilaa_dunne16, we got really lucky and got ours private sale. It has features I didn’t know I wanted but know can’t imagine life without them.
@iuiblessing2018, the one I looked at had a DVD player, heated seats, and power lift gate and remote start! I was in love with it and was so sad when we couldn’t get it
@lilaa_dunne16, yes! Ours has heated and cooling seats. The cooling is amazing I must say.
I test drove a 2019 highlander and I felt like they are a lot smaller inside than they used to be. I had a 2011 and it was a lot roomier than they are now. I have a 4Runner right now and I love it. The Honda Pilots are really nice also.
I just got a suburban and its amazing. It's so big and roomy. I traded in my 4runner for it. Toyota's definitely hold their value. I had bought mine new in 2015 for 31k and ended up 5 years later trading it in and getting 27k for it.
