On that note, have a 2008 Expedition EL that has about 40,000 miles on it now..has worked without an issue. Drive it to Vermont and North Carolina annually. Isn't exactly cheap though, about 50K or so.

thanks for the thoughts fellers
so I spent yesterday test driving some of the SUVs I had in mind...

GLK 350: positively impressed.. strong acceleration responsive handling and built like a tank. with the options I need the price falls well under $40k so this may far and away be the winner

FJ Cruiser: blah! drive felt very uninspired as well as the build and quality I thought.. my X5 has blown shocks and also requires a wheel alignment yet it still drives better than the FJ.. on the freeway I thought the car was goin to tip over

Tahoe: i love this car for the name alone! very meaty butch car, didn't handle as well as the GLK but i def. could see myself in this car for those voyages to the mountains.. however the 4wheel drive is starting at $41k and at that price i'd much rather settle for the GLK

I may.. maybe look into the X3 but the design to me is just unnoteworthy. I'll look into the Q5 but I can already see the tag running beyond $40k w. the options I'm looking for.. the Toyota 4 Runner's price is about $35k w. the options and some may not agree w. me but I figure if I can get a Mercedes for the same price then I'll go w. the Mercedes

Im 6'1 and had to nix the 4Runner because with the seat all the way down and back I still hit the roof. YMMV.
