Hi, Guest
I don't get where having "a big wagon" is a bad thing, and then she wants a Tribeca. It's a BIG WAGON! :P No, seriously. It is.
You're screwed. :P
For dog and cargo room but no off-road capacity, I'd get an Edge. With the seats down in the Escape, there's plenty of room. You could leave the tailgate up and carry drywall on an angle, or haul lengths of board/pipe with the tail down and glass up. I love that feature on the Escape and a LOT of SUVs don't do that anymore.
For the record, Tank has room to move around in the back of the Escape. He can lie down with plenty of room, or sit and watch the world go by. He's also over 5 feet long when he stretches out. Or, fold the seats flat and he has his own little kingdom back there. The new Escapes are even better than the 08s (motor, trans) and they have a TON of room. Plus, I hauled a 28' (collapsed) extension ladder back from a buddy's place on the other side of town with no grief... just tied it down to the crossbars and left.
You might want to check it out if you're considering an Edge. :) Then you'll cave and get her a Mariner. :lol: :ph34r:
