We're going to change things up a bit, sell the Samurai and trade the RAV on a 4wd something. Get down to 2 vehicles but still be able to go exploring off highway with the dogs along. Budget up to $20k. This will be a daily driver and we'd like to go to mid-size instead of compact. One thing we need is easy access to the back seat as one of the dogs has a bad back leg and has to be helped in. Don't like the car seating in the 4Runner, not paying the FJ premium, Xterra back seat access is pretty tight, 4 door Wranglers are crazy priced. Grand Cherokees and RWD Explorers a possibility I guess. The less tech the better. We don't rock crawl and I turn around if I'm not sure I won't get stuck, just don't need that adventure anymore. We like to travel to geographic features, petroglyph sites, ruins, etc around the state.
My question is are there any sleeper SUVs that have better off road ability than you'd think? Any of the FWD/AWD crossovers, Highlander, Pilot etc got any game? YouTube vids of some fool taking a new Cherokee through a mud hole twice don't impress me much.
