What do you think about?

[stealth]

SUV's do you like the smaller SUV's like Explorers, Jimmies, Blazers...etc.... I am thinking of buying one and what do you guys think about them, and for those of who who do/have owned one, whats your say on them.

[euro tang]

SUV's are PIMP! wicked to drive, and u can fit big ass subs in em. they dont handle as good as cars though and they suck on gas, at least mine does.

mines for sale ecstacy civic.. its a yj 92 renegade top model for that generation of yj. yea a jeep is a totally different suv. its more of a true suv that deserves to see the mud more than the car wash! i havent taken off the doors yet. kinda scared i might fall out.. ahah roof is off tho

[Boostn]

The only SUV I'd be interested in is a 92-93 GMC Typhoon, too bad they're almost impossible to find up here. I read something or was it a rumour about a twin turbo concept Trailblazer as well, very interesting...

how much would you want for it? any pics?

[mad_psyentist]

Amen to the big-ass subs. And they're great for camping/hauling crap around. But get a good looking SUV, and not a land boat like the Explorer. I had a CRV and it did me good, personally I prefer the Jeep Cherokee, tho.

...and now folks , after that little trip to La-La Land , we will now bring you back to reality and resume our regulary scheduled programming....

Hey Ford king, they actually DO have a trailblazer concept with twin turbo, so I don't see what's wrong with Boostn's post. Lighten up.

[fast95pony]

LOL , Steath's asking a question about REAL SUV's , and Boostn's talking about a specialty truck built 10 years ago, and a concept.

This is Alberta , where SUV's are driven to get through winter and travel off-road etc., not So-Cal ,where SUV's are just pimpmobiles. How many Typhoons do you see plowing through the snow or cruising down gravel roads ?? Not too many !!


To reply to Steath, SUV's especially 4x4's tend to hold their value even if they're a few years old. They are not cheap on gas , and can be expensive to fix. For their size , there's not much room in the smaller ones. Watch out for leaks around the diffs . If you find one that has larger tires, or winch etc. , chances are it's been off-roaded and possibly beaten . Best to look for a stock truck with normal tires on it.

I read about GM(edit, not GM) making a TT Sonoma with a Dinali drivetrain. It was not production of course

edit:
Here it is, but this is not what he's looking for anyway.

Why would you say that ?? Any proof or sales numbers to back up that statement ??
:dunno:

[Nix87]

I have an explorer and a Chevy Tahoe. If ur going to be coughin up the bucks for an SUV get one with a V8. My explorer has the power equivlant of a go-kart. But the Tahoe motors. and always has tons of power in reserve.

Don't you still have your Civic? How long have you been trying to sell it again?
