Hi everybody,
I found out in the last week that I'm going to be a father for the 2nd time, and my new son or daughter arrives sometime in January 2011. My wife and I are of course very excited, as ar my parents, and my mother-in-law about being grandparents again.
When we told my parents and everybody about the baby coming, my parents suggested to me that the Escape I have right now, probably isn't going to be large enough anymore to carry us, a toddler, a baby, the dog, and all of our stuff if we are going on any kind of trip outside of town.
So, I've started trying to figure out what'd work. I DON'T want any kind of Japanese or Korean vehicles for starters, and I don't think I need something as gargantuan as a Suburban or an Excursion either. Most wagons are out too, as only a few will have seating for more than 4-5 people, which would be the same as the Escape we have now. I'm thinking that vehicles like the Ford Flex, Ford Expedition, Ford Explorer (7-pass variant), Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon or Envoy XL, and the Dodge Journey are all a good bunch to start with.
I'm not into minivans, so I think I will make the effort to look at the vehicles I already mentioned. Just wondering if there's anything else worth looking at that might work?
L8tz!
