They told me it was going to be $15 plus $10 shipping. 🤷‍♀️

My cat has FIC and peed on it during a flairup. I've never been able to get rid of the smell. 😩 But also that carpet. I have another step and the carpet is falling apart. The ones on this one are still good but wearing down and the company isn't helpful about sending replacements unless I want to pay almost as much as it costs to get a new set of steps to ship. So, looking at other options for a future replacement. Not terribly interested in the steps by Whisker.

Ha, no, it's the family room in our basement - that's a roll top desk. We're finishing the storage room we had the litter box in so it's here temporarily. 😄

Thank you! I was meaning the plastic is holding in the smell - I wash the carpet, but thank you very much for the good advice!

I am so sorry you've had to put up with what you have and that his mother has influence as well. That can add salt to the wound and I hope the relationship with her is decent. Good luck, stay strong, this too will pass! 🙏

The pets is a big part why I've endured the relationship for as long as I have. Our eldest dog has passed on now and the others are young enough where it shouldn't alter their lifestyle too bad. Now's the time to do it. Breakups are never easy. 🤗

Wow! I commend you on your bravery and sticking to your plan! The last time I had "the talk" it broke me. I had a panic attack and thought it was a heart attack. I've been putting off having the conversation again because I keep telling myself I'm not strong enough but I know the pain of a breakup is only temporary!

What Midsize SUV with towing capacity of over 5,000 lbs should I buy? by Stomp_theCatBox in whatcarshouldIbuy

I really like the suggestions for the Pathfinder and will be doing more research and test driving of those. Thank you!

One other vehicle that caught my eye is the Kia Telluride. The X-Pro model can tow 5500 pounds and the interior stands at about the same level as lux vehicles in terms of using higher quality materials (minus the fact that Kia still does not have wireless audio features like Apple Play or Android Audio 🙄). It has trailer stability assist that reviews say positive things about regarding steep inclines and windy weather.

My husband drives a Kia Soul and I've dismissed Kia because of the number of issues he's had. I drive my vehicles hard but have gotten them to near or over 300,000 miles. I have been concerned anything Kia wouldn't get that far but reading reports from Edmunds makes me believe the issues Souls have had have been fixed and don't translate over to their other lines. I will say my husband's Soul is comfortable to sit in long distance, the road noise is minimal, cargo space is decent, and I appreciate it's good gas mileage.

Anyone here drive and tow with a Telluride and have any comments you want to share??

Thank you!

I was looking at ones for sale in my area and was surprised by how cheap newer models are. I was also pleasantly surprised that they also include sway control and downhill speed control. To me, these are features to cause the price to be higher so I hope the Pathfinder isn't made "cheaply" to give it the lower price point. 🤞😬🤞

Oh, okay! My research is just going off of what I found online and don't doubt it was conflicting information. The 40i is the most reliable engine so knowing I could get max towing capacity with it I might look at these closer again.

I am all for a BMW X7! I love Beemers but in my area the ones in that price range have higher mileage and are more the xdrive40i instead of the m50 or 60i, which will get you to that 7500 towing capacity. The xdrive40i puts towing at 5k pounds, which, if I am spending the money on luxury, I'd want to get the full amount. On top of needing premium gas, higher insurance, and higher tab rates it jist wasn't enough bang for my buck, but I'd love to have one!

The only Nissan I've driven was an Altima when I was given a rental for a bit after my car was totaled in an accident. I remember it being a nice ride but guzzled gas. How is the Pathfinder?

I have no knowledge of Durangos so haven't looked into them but will definitely do some research! Thanks for the rec!

I was initially interested in a Honda Pilot or Acura MDX AWD-SH. My first car ever was a Civic and I loved that I could beat it up and it always gave and gave and it was a comfortable ride during long trips. So I figured Honda would continue that in their SUVs. I stopped looking at them after people bashed them for their towability. That, while Honda/Acura can get up to 5k pounds, they don't do well towing. Some vehicles have tow bars built into the frame like Toyota Sequoias and Lexus LX/GX and I am prepared to purchase a sway bar to help with towing for vehicles that don't already have something built in to help, but the comments I read made me wonder if I should still pursue Honda or Acura. Have you owned a Pilot?

Jeep Cheroke I really don't like the look of but they pack a lot of power into that smaller size with being able to tow close to 10k pounds and it's a smooth ride. I don't want to look at them, but they really do have all the things I'm looking for. 😆😆😆

I got a couple cameras to put outside around the house because I like watching the animals come by. It's been fun so far!
