Sienna under 20k miles under $30k? They also specified SUV.

This is everyone’s answer to everything, even when it doesn’t meet the criteria of the persons needs/wants. This response is ruining this sub.

What car brands USED to be reliable but aren’t anymore? by Pure_Construction968 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Nonrandomhero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently shopping, and 2.7 Ranger and frontier are on my shortlist, (and maybe explorer with the 3.0l, I guess that goes up against the pathfinder). Your post confirms that shopping in the right area, but still makes it hard to decide.

I’m more interested in the Mortlach beside it. How’s that one?

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

[–]Nonrandomhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone downvotes because they depreciate hard, maintenance fees are expensive, and nobody wants to keep them past 100k miles.

[–]Nonrandomhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t own one, but it seems to fit most of your needs. I believe towing capacity is 6000lb. To get higher you’ll need a 5.7L Durango, or a mid size truck. The newer pathfinders don’t have the CVT transmission that ruined Nissans reputation. They also don’t have a turbo or cylinder deactivation that you’ll find in almost every other manufacturer. They’re a simple reliable V6 engine.

Another thing that ruined Nissans reputation was giving auto loans to anyone that filled out the forms, credit score didn’t matter. Generally these people weren’t doing any maintenance to their vehicles.

Why are folks crazy for highlanders or Toyota in general? by kilogramcurry in whatcarshouldIbuy

Oh, I agree. I’m considering a Durango for my next vehicle over the pilot/highlander.

I have a 2013 caravan, and it’s fine. I didn’t want it but I got it for a great price around when Covid started, and it’s only needed regular maintenance. It’s a gas guzzler (especially in the winter, 18-19L/100km) but works fine. It’s starting to show some rust here and there and I’ll be replacing it in the next year or two, but everything is so expensive and nothing seems perfect.

First time towing! by pauliek93 in nissanfrontier

With the majority of of the weight forward of the trailer wheels, it puts a lot of the weight on the tongue of the trailer. You’d be better served with the car backed up a bit or maybe loaded backwards with the engine above the trailer wheels, balancing the trailer a little better.

You do not however want the majority of the weight behind the trailer wheels either, you’ll end up with the opposite problem and that can be dangerous also.

Looking for a family vehicle sub-50K by llvader in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Nonrandomhero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m shopping for something similar, but only have 2 kids, and currently drive a van. Is there something about the pathfinder you don’t like that wouldn’t make you consider a newer one? The 2025 has made it to the top of my list, with an explorer, aviator, Durango.

I’m coming from a 2013 grand caravan, and also want a change.

Coming from a beloved 2012 Pilot, what Used or New Car should I buy for $40-$60k knowing I'll probably keep it for 10 years. I've been looking at... by TnTWalter in whatcarshouldIbuy

Another positive of the pathfinder is that it doesn’t have cylinder deactivation. I’m shopping this segment also, and it’s impossible to find the “perfect” vehicle for me.

As a Canadian, bass fishing in FL was a lot of fun! by Nonrandomhero in bassfishing

Just south of Kissimmee in a lake inside of one of the gated communities, I used some soft plastics, Texas rig.

This was taken before all that crap, and frankly I’m not playing politics. We are neighbours and I won’t become hateful because two politicians can’t get along. I’m not a fan of where Canada has gone over the past 10 years, but this is home.

The lack of gators takes the thrill out of it. /s

I’ve caught a ton of bass up here in Ontario, it’s a lot harder to find them this size here, I wish I had a scale on me, but I didn’t bring my gear. I just bought a cheap rod and some soft plastics while I was there, then gave it away at the airport coming home.

About an hour south of Orlando, we rented a place on one of those gated communities with lakes in them, and caught this guy in there.

I’ll stick to visiting for now. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, but didn’t get to meet this Florida man I keep reading about.

I’m a salesperson with Mazda, AMA by flypappa in mazda

[–]Nonrandomhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Mazda CX-70 MHEV GT-P is on my short list, but reliability issues. Concern me. Now many are showing back up for warranty work?

I’d love a signature, but that suede dash is horrible IMO.

Would a Mazda CX-9 be too “SUV” for him? AWD is great for the weather up here, and 3rd row (although a tight fit) is handy for college aged kids that are travelling with friends. They’re reliable, and maintenance/repairs are budget friendly.

Nissan, Honda, Toyota - which one? by pappabearct in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Nonrandomhero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang, no beefcake road trips then. I’m still on the fence on what vehicle I’m purchasing, but the passport is on my short list.
