I ain’t talking operator baw baller money. I’m talking what the 1% of us OT’ers can afford. NOLA-based, so it’s gotta survive potholes and floods. Maybe a high-clearance ark? What’s the smoothest ride under 40k? 1-2 people, but I’m fat.

Given my choice of vehicle to tour the US, it would be hard to beat the upcoming Audi RS6 avant



With all of your bullshite restrictions, I dont know...Honda Pilot might work.

Last road trip was in a Toyota Highlander with 2 (sometimes 3) adults and a toddler for two weeks. Plenty of room even counting all the toddler stuff and decent mpg. Would recommend.

Prefer my motorcycle if traveling alone, but I do have a Chevy Silverado pickup that I also use, especially if needing to carry more than a motorcycle can handle.

Been all over the US in my SWB ‘06 Jeep Wrangler. Still going strong. Getting close to 200K.
Inline 6 hard to beat. Rides . . . like a Jeep.
Bought it new before the craze. $16.5K TTL

Spend a little bit more and get a suburban, Tahoe if you only have one child.

I missed the 1-2 person part. Pretty much anything will do in that case.

Just how fat?

Smoothest ride under 40K, dodge potholes, floods?

Maybe a loaded AWD 2018 Alfa Stelvio. Just don´t keep it more than two or three years.
