Looking for a New SUV

[Firm]

I told him such before he bought the 4Runner, but he was dead-set on needing to have the reliability...Don't think he cross shopped much. He learned that reliability is only worthwhile if you enjoy driving it enough to keep it long-term.

Don't think he cross shopped much.

No doubt.

A HL would have done what he needed without the ride penalty.

I think newer HL is the answer then.

It would be if the auto in the V6 wasn't a concern. So that only leaves the Hybrid versions which are hard to find, and priced like gold.

The new Outlander PHEV seems like an interesting proposition. I'm not sure on the long term reliability, but using less fuel is quite appealing.
