Toyota Grand Highlander will be out soon. It will be made in America and it will be the biggest mid size 3 row vehicle out there. My guess, the highest price trim level, the Platinum, will top out at 58-60K. They may be difficult to get based on the excitement level brewing for them. They are suppose to hit the dealerships in the fall.

The traverse is crap…my brother couldn’t wait to get rid of it…also, it looks much bigger on the outside than the functional space on the inside.

Wife’s Kia mini-van is awesome…most comfortable driving vehicle I’ve ever been in…drove from Fripp Island S. Car to Anna Texas in one day (15 hours) and still felt good at the end. Lots of space…

Price is comparable with the competition, but the warranty can’t be beat. However, resale vale is terrible and kills any value you got on the front end.

They literally have no room? Seems unlikely.

so, would be a great vehicle to buy used if you're correct.

I'm pretty happy with my Nissan Pathfinder, but obviously that's not American made.

Durango fits all your parameters. The 3rd row is actually nice but you have limited cargo room when in use but it is a really comfortable third row suitable for adults.

My wife's Honda Pilot has been awesome. She has a 2018 with just over 100k miles on it.

A car is a consumption item if you care about resale value you’re losing a ton of money regardless (although it matters if you lease one)

The only real answer to your question is a Suburban. It’s 80k.

The better question is why all these fricking car companies stopped making the cars people wanted?

This is true and a lot of American vehicles are made in Canada and Mexico.

Ford made a big deal aboot moving F-150 production to Mexico. My American-made Tundra had the engine made in the Carolinas, designed in California, and assembled in San Antonio.

Buy American.

We have a 2018 explorer and we like it enough. We bought it slightly used and I think it was right under 30k. Has all the bells and whistles except captain seats for second row.
