What kind of SUV do you drive?

I've had three Subaru Outbacks over the years.  2018, 2021, 2024.  They are company cars and get replaced every three years, but they have been great.  I would def buy one if one wasn't given to me.

I had a 2012, then a 2022.  I did like them, but tbh I was growing bored with is, and my 2022 was sooooo naggy with the beeps and boops for lanes and blaming me for not looking, scaring me by slamming the brakes randomly if someone is turning in front of me, etc.  Some annoyances with the infotainment too.  Then I found out over the Summer that my "trial" for my remote starter expired and they asked me for hundreds of dollars to re-up that and a handful of other services I would never use.

I started looking at Subaru's upcoming EV, but research steered me to a Tesla Model Y.  I have owned it for 2 months and I miss outback not at all.  My biggest concern was snow, it snowed yesterday, and it was just as good.

My buddy only buys from Enterprise and has had zero problems.  He used to work for them and says they take good maintenance of their cars.

Oh, hell no.

Kathy needed a car
Brand new Camry? $30k or so

2025 Camry with 10K miles? 20k

She likes her 2025 Camry. Haha

The last 15 years I have only purchased from Hertz car sales. 4 vehicles

When people say to me(which is almost everyone) " I would never buy a rental! People just beat up rentals!)

I then give them all my reasons. Then they kinda sorta see things my way.

Vehicles get oil changes every 3k
Scheduled maintenance is followed
Tires are always kept decent and changed if needed.
Engines steamed cleaned frequently 
All fluids topped or changed every 3k
Interior steam cleaned often.

4 cars and never once in 15 years have I had any issues other than regular maintenance.
Tires, brakes, battery. 

Bought a 2025 Camry for her today 
Might buy a 2025 Trailblazer for me next week.

Might...haha

And absolutely NO HASSLE PRICING. Because they price $2-$4k lower than anywhere else. They need to make room for new inventory. 

Jose, you should seriously look into it the next time you buy a vehicle. Its such a relaxing way to purchase a car. 

That 2025 Trailblazer Im looking at? 10k miles? $18k
I can't find anyone in Florida even close to that price.

And Hertz has a dozen to choose from.

Im like Jose
I just need to get from point A to B.
In my fife its the grocery store, Disney, some restaurants, and maybe a fishing hole.

A $20k vehicle can get me there just the same as a $60k vehicle. 

I understand why some people want the "luxury" of a $60-$80k vehicle. I get it.

But its not for me.

I Should add that my Tundra is older.  No bells and whistles like today and I like that.  I bought it for the power plant and drivetrain which runs beautiful to this day.

Living in NY i do want 4WD.  That is about the only thing i really “want” in a vehicle.  No AWD but 4WD.

Tundras are the best looking trucks on the market. But, as you mentioned, their price point really is up there. I only buy used, usually 2-3 years old and still ended up "settling" on a RAM. Common and not a top of the line truck but it does have nearly all of the bells and whistles. I love the huge screen and panoramic sunroof....and I am not going back to having no heated/air conditioned seats or no remote start. And 4WD is mandatory. 

I'm not in the market now, but would definitely stick with a Ram or Tundra on my next purchase.

I won’t buy a new Tundra because of the loss of a V8.  A truck w a turbo just isnt something i want.  Turbos wear out.  Another thing I would need to fix down the road.

Rams have been good from what I read and the GMC trucks have been winning Truck of the year awards.

Maybe I’ll look for a 22 Tundra w the V8…
