reel, i agree with the camry being the best CAR money can buy. i had two of them. sorry i got rid of the last one. but i want something that will tow a trailer. what do you guys think about the ram? late 90's to early 00's. also need at least an extra cab for the kids. commute-wise, i drive about 4 miles a week so economy isnt an issue. looking at some of the late 90's suburbans but if i get a hi-miler and blow the motor after a couple thousand miles my wife'll have my a$$.

Tough to go wrong with a Toyota. Explorers, well I can't dispute what the others said.

gotta agree with monkey b, not the coolest ride, but plenty of room and towing capability, look at the chevy minivan. i think it is the astro or gmc safari built on a truck frame, rear wheel drive.
i would avoid a dodge pu(i have driven them since 72) because of the tranny issue, cracking interior, and low resale. they make sense for me because i run them till they are completely gone around 250,000-300,000 miles.

Unless someone is giving you one, I'd stay away from an "Exploder".

Down this way there are plenty of mid to late 90's Suburbans for around your budget with plenty of miles left on em. Come on down and pick one up.

W/the extra-cab you need, buy as much Ford F-150 or Chevy 1500 as you budget allows...my Fi50 just turned over 300,000 and goin' strong!
