Looking to buy an SUV for about 35k. Would prefer a low mileage used with 3rd row seats. What does the OT recommend we look at.

Sounds like you might need to look into Hyundai or Mazda

Avoid the GM SUV'S like the tahoe,yukon,suburban equipped with the 5.3 cylinder deactivation engine. Lifter issues as well as oil consumption issues. Now if the vehicle has had both of the issues addressed, then you're ok. If not, stay away imho.

3rd row seating 4Runner is what you want.

The wife is leaning towards a Ford Explorer. I want to look in to more options before making a decision

Is the third row a deal breaker? If not, you can get a brand new, fully loaded Outback in your price range. Amazing vehicle.
