New Truck/SUV?

SugarNSpikes · 09-04-2009, 04:40 PM

Hey all,

I'm looking for a new SUV. It must be able to pull my horse trailer, so ideally a v8 engine. Also, it must be 4x4 and a 2000 or newer. No more than 60000 miles.

Any extras are nice, but otherwise I'm not too picky and will consider anything.

No more than 15000-17000$.

Any ideas or know where I can find one?

Low miles. Two issues to know about these trucks, look up CSX and intermediate steering shaft problems. Neither would keep me from buying one if it was a good deal, just be aware.

CarMax? Maybe try all the car dealerships. I would imagine Cash for Clunkers brought in a lot of SUV's to the local dealerships.

What can you all tell me about Koons Ford?

The prices at that dealership are ridiculously low compared to those at other dealerships. They get cars from prior leases, and some other program but how much would you actually trust those vehicles?

Also, can anyone tell me about the roll-over problem with Ford Explorers? I googled it but it said that it was 2-wheel drive, 2 doors mainly with the problems... so would I be okay with a 2006 4 wheel drive, 4 door v8 Ford Explorer? I definitely don't want a truck that I would have to worry about flipping over, especially when pulling a trailer..

I would imagine it's because of the short wheel base. That would happen to any vehicle with a higher center of gravity.
