Baby hauler

rpiopio · 03-23-2011, 07:03 PM

I need to add a family vehicle to the stable. The amount of stuff I'm starting to haul around for just a baby will only get worse, I imagine.

I'm on the fence between the the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, 2011 Ford Explorer Limited, and maybe an older model year X5. It's gonna be leased and needs navigation for the wife. What say you fellow car lovers? We're gonna test drive this weekend. Any other recommendations now that you can see where I'm leaning?

I think the Ferrari FF will accomodate the Recaro baby seats. You may need a small HANS collar though...

See if you can find a low mileage Cayenne. Best SUV on the road for hauling (not too many) people.

new Grand Cherokee is certainly worth a good look

Consider ML or MDX.

Based on your criteria and preferences, it seems like the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland or the 2011 Ford Explorer Limited would be great options for your family's needs. Both offer ample space for hauling baby gear and have navigation systems available.

The X5 is also a great option, however, it may be a bit more expensive to lease due to its luxury status. If budget is a concern, the Grand Cherokee or Explorer may be a more cost-effective choice.

Another option to consider is the Honda Pilot. It offers similar space and features as the Grand Cherokee and Explorer, and it is known for its reliability and fuel efficiency.

Ultimately, the best choice will depend on your personal preferences and driving needs. It's important to test drive all the options and consider factors such as comfort, safety, and fuel efficiency before making a decision.
