Toyota
4.7
(73)
"Aye, a minivan. Sienna should do, perhaps the previous gen if you need all the seats out."
"4runner reliability is insane."
"Been a beast, and perfect for our family of 3 humans and 2 dogs."
"Toyota will be way more reliable than any of those other cars you mentioned."
"Buying a Venza slightly used can save you $$, and is nicer than the Rav4."
"RAV4 prime. There is no competitor."
"I just bought a used RAV4, and I love it!"
"Sienna all day everyday have known 4 different ones break 300k miles EZ."
"Land cruiser - Toyota quality."
"I love my Toyota Highlander Hybrid AWD."

"Honda Odyssey is the one."
"We do long road trips in the Odyssey."
"I would look at the 2025 Honda ridge line."
"We have an odyssey and love the magic slide seats."
"I’m biased because it’s what we have, but Honda Odyssey. With the magic slide seats, you can take out the center and slide the passenger seat to the middle and have access to the back seat through the side door."
"We landed on the base model Honda Odyssey. It was between that and the Sienna for us and at the end of the day, the magic seat that moves in the middle to allow us to easily access the backseat was the deciding factor."
"We love our Honda Odyssey. It drives like a tank but it’s far and away the best family vehicle we’ve ever tried."
"Honda Odyssey. Sliding doors mean you fit better in parking spaces."
"I have a 2018 and it always has more than enough room."
"I love my Honda Ridgeline for camping."

"Subaru Outback. Great car for skiing, biking, etc."
"I went with the 2025 Subaru Forester Premium and love it."
"For back roads I'd definitely suggest getting an outback for the extra ground clearance."
"My wife recently got a Subaru Ascent. It's under your budget, tows 2-5k, it's comfy as hell."
"Reliable and never had any issues other than routine maintenance."
"Great AWD for snow, etc."
"Upgraded to a Crosstrek much better."
"Subaru crosstrek."
"Have legroom and headroom."

Lexus

"Lexus GX460 and I use the heck out of it."
"Lexus GX470! It’s a BEAST."
"You won't find a better commuter car that can rack up 100k miles, feel comfortable and relatively luxury."
"If you have budget for premium, go for Lexus."
"If you want a nice car that is reliable and luxury get Lexus."
"Lexus will last longer and require less maintenance."
"The GX has better creature comforts for your regular city and commuting."
"They are based on the same platform as the 4Runner, but have better interiors and a V8."
"Decade old Lexus LX or Land Cruiser, or older Tahoe or sequoia."
"Lexus GX460 or a 4Runner."

"I have a ‘01 barn door suburban that fits my needs."
"Chevy Bolt ftw!"
"I just picked up a 2011 Denali with 113k for 12,5. Towing a 2019 Coachmen Apex nano 193BHS. Perfect combo."
"My suggestion is to go for a 2000-2006 Tahoe with the 5.3L engine with the tow haul button on the end of the gear shifter."
"Cleanest, rust free ‘01-‘06 Chevy Tahoe or Suburban."
"The Hyundai Kona EV, Kia Niro, Chevy Bolt, and Nissan Leaf are your reliable budget buys."
"Tahoe or Suburban. Don't bother with a compact suv."
"Hands down Chevy Astro or express van."
"Suburban, Yukon XL, Navigator L, and the Escalade ESV would be your best bet."

Ford
4.1
(8)
"Your best bet really is a cargo van."
"You'd want something in a cargo van style. First thing newer coming to mind is a Transit Connect."
"Im a bit biased, but thats right around the payload capacity of my ford maverick."
"Definitely check out the car mom videos on YouTube about it."
"A Ford Transit is your best bet if you don’t have to go offroad much."
"You could go with a giant three-row SUV, such as a Ford Expedition."
"Most suvs that offer 3rd row seating you lose almost all cargo space."
"The hybrid Ford Maverick would be a solid choice."
#7
Nissan
3.2
(6)
"I have a 2015 Leaf and it's fun to drive."
"Nissan redid the battery in the Leaf in 2015, so if you are thinking of a Leaf, get one that is 2015 or newer."
"Check out a Nissan Leaf."
"Checkout Nissan magnite or some similar kind of car."
"Some models (especially the Nissan Leaf) have poor battery thermal management."
"Both the Leaf and Bolt SUUUUUCK if you don't have home charging."
