Looking for some recommendations. We currently have an 09 escape limited and love it. It’s 4wd and awesome in the snow and won’t get another vehicle without it. It is starting to show its age when trying to pull my loaded 16.5’ boat and full of camping stuff. We just need something bigger. The vehicles at the top of my list are 2015 Ford Explorer or Jeep Grand Cherokee both with either 4wd or awd (for winter and boat Ramps). I’m leaning more towards the explorer and a big reason is the 3rd row seating. Anyone had either of these vehicles and how did things work out? I’m not buying new because the prices are crazy and we don’t put more than 10k kms a year on it. My wife works a 5 min walk from home. So it mostly goes back and forth to the hockey rink, baseball diamonds and then camping in the summer. Warranty doesn’t matter to me either as I repair everything myself. I have searched and really haven’t found many major issues with either vehicle.
Thanks!
