My Suburban is getting long in the tooth. It's time for a new SUV. I was looking at likely getting another Suburban or Yukon, but.....
We bought an Odyssey this past weekend for my wife. Not a new one. We don't do that. We bought an 08 with 120k miles and paid cash. So far we are very happy with it.
In shopping for the Odyssey I started looking at Pilots. I'm beginning to think it might meet my needs for a hunting rig/family vehicle.
My needs are:
8 seats (big family)
Cargo room for luggage and/or hunting gear.
4wd and ability to handle muddy farm roads.
Ability to tow 2500 lbs. (Combined weight of my trailer and UTV)
Now the 4wd and trailering is needed for a couple months out of the year, while the rest is important all the time.
Naturally another Suburban would work, but the Honda is looking pretty good.
I could get either with about 120-150k for my price range locally.
Am I nuts?
