Another vote for the Tahoe, just make sure its got the bose sound system, the Z71 package and you don't need to do anything to it.
I used to tow my boat around with my ex's Tahoe with no problem.

Buick Rendezvous?
IIRC they were available with a 3rd row and AWD Should be cheap on the used market, and parts should be pretty cheap. |

Except that it's RHD, expensive for what it is and the local dealer can't look up parts for it. (if you have the P/N they can probably get the parts though, I order stuff all the time)

Being the OP is near Canada enough, he just needs to go import one from Vancouver. The Canadian dollar is weak. Plenty up there for around $5-6k Canadian which is around $4k USD.

How old are you willing to go? Toyota Previa AWD would be my answer for super cheap. Landcruiser is the best option though.

This, plus the seats can be flipped around. I had one in high school that I flipped the middle seat around to face the rear and used to have a buddy drive us around while me and my other buddies smoked weed in the back. They do pretty good off road just don't take it on the beach. |

They made the Mitsubishi outlanders with an optional 3rd row seating and 4wd. TBH the 3rd row is more meant for munchkins. But one can be had for relatively cheap.

Bleh.
Zip ties in the dash AND zip ties around the tires for snow traction! Quote:

I have a huge soft-spot for the Flex. A 7-seat echo-boost AWD Flex would be sweet. But I'd just want to lower it like I lowered my Outback... which is basically the whole reason I'm looking for a winter beater... so I can lift it. Plus, aren't the Flex's still expensive? Same comment as the Pathfinder... I hadn't really considered one. Quote:

I hadn't thought about the Pilot. I just figure, once they're a gen or two old, the Honda and Acura versions are about the same price, and the Acura's are just nicer. I don't really want to get that old of a vehicle, and the 2000+ LC's are still crazy expensive because they last for-friggen-ever. Quote:

....but I still want one. I love those things... but it's gonna be hard to put two people in the way back seats. There's one of these at my work that I see regularly. It's awesome. I'd even consider one, or one of its clones, if they could be had in LHD. Or perhaps even a Vanagon... though I'd be instantly looking for an EG33 to swap into it. But there's really no towing capacity on vans like those. Quote:

I love my flex, no real issues in 4 years of ownership. Its just a poverty SEL AWD version, but nice enough for when my Mom visits and we need the extra seating. Does well in the snow as well.

That Sienna was actually a real, running SEMA show car done up by Toyota. The answer to the door question is at 1:07 in this video:
(CN: It goes straight out sideways, because show cars don't need to park in parking lots.) |

sperry: Given that you're in Portlandia why not a Tribeca? Those were unloved and must be near that price range nowadays.

An 80 series will last forever because it's impossible to build up enough speed to crash into something with enough force to damage it.

This is awesome: But this is more in line with what I'm looking for... I just want something with 7-seats and some towing capacity since I basically already have two cars like a Forester and I don't want to mess around with lifting either one. |
