    Drove 1500KM in my charger with no issues, comfortable and had the pep I needed to pass everyone. If you are winter driving, I would suggest the AWD version. Its a larger car then the fit but comfortable. If that doesn't work as most folks suggested, a nice F150 would work as well (you can also use it for towing if needed).

    Well, they weigh as much as my crew cab truck does now, so seats that are 2ft thick may be a little too performance prohibitive today.
    AIRBAG seats my friend .... inflate as little or as firm as you want! Float in comfort with no pressure points. Lufthansa also has this in their business class seats.

    From experience: In my 14 GMC Sierra (SLE), we drove Calgary to LA, up the coast (PCH + 101 + I5) to Vancouver, and back to Calgary, over 3 weeks. It was comfortable for my family on that trip, plenty of passing power, and lots of cargo room. I imagine the Denali trim or a '19 would've been more comfortable.

    No restrictions: I'd be interested in what an S-class or an A7 is like? I'm not very imaginative with cars at my old(ish) age. hah.

    Water bed seats would be great. Just go with the flow.

    M5 was epic, went to Kelowna twice with friends in it, gets like 8-9l/100km highway with the supercharger. Guy that bought it from me drove it straight home to Toronto and said it was a gem.

    I drove my Grandpa’s ‘71 Eldorado for a summer. Dead quiet, could run over curbs with zero sensation and fun watching the hood move sideways turning corners. 8.2L V8 was alright, gas gauge was in the center of the dash and like only 3/4” wide.

    Explorer ST. Comfy, pretty okay on gas for its size, and has lots of nice highway features.

    Wat

    My dad has one of these, and when it’s not loaded the ride is horrible. And it’s loud above 100km/h. Massage seats are nice, but they’re very “American” (read: mediocre) in their execution. It’s certainly not the worst hwy cruiser, but far from the best imo.

    Since we’re talking about 4 seasons, and no rules, my vote goes to a Maybach GLS, or maybe RR cullinan (although rolls royce cars are ridiculously ostentatious, and I’m not a fan of that).

    2wd gmt400.

    Suburban, 1/2 ton, whatever. Bonus points for vortec 5.7 96-98 trucks as they'll get out of their own way.

    99-2000 gmt400 2500 crewcab is basically a burban with a box. You get the 5.7 AND a 4l80 which will never die unlike the 4l60.

    My suggestion is because miles kill resale, so why eat depreciation. Only caveat would be finding a clean one (probably $10k cdn all in imported from the USA) and having a pro install a proper modern touch screen with backup camera.

    Real suggestion is either an ecodiesel or baby dmax. I can't compare a mid 2010's ram vs a newer chevy for ride quality since I haven't been in a newer chevy enough.

    Alberta roads suck, I don't know if a car ever comes to mind when taking secondary roads.
