sort of a 'just for fun" thing...
So, my story so far...I bought a brand new Blazer in 1997, drove it until 2012 when I bought a 2006 Trailblazer that my father-in-law rebuilt after a previous owner drove down a boat ramp. Been driving it ever since; it has some quirks but has been mostly reliable and honestly, I think it still looks as good as anything out there.
But....it's getting a little old and we like to travel so we need something that we can confidently go on long highway trips in. Plus my older son is going to start driving soon so I'll be passing the Trailblazer down to him.
I'm pondering what I should buy next. My wife has had several Toyota's over the years (Camry's and Siennas) and they are really trouble-free vehicles , so I've really been looking at the 4Runner and Highlander ...but they're both hella expensive,at least to me. As for GM stuff....the Equinox and Traverse just don't excite me much if at all, though they seem to be popular. The Terrain looks like it might be the closest to what I like about the Blazer/Trailblazer, but I haven't been in a newer one...I don't need a 4x4, just something I can haul kids, dogs and the occasional lawnmower in.
So anyway...wondering what you guys think?
