Kia Sorento 2019 blew engine, need to look for new SUV or Truck, doing research this time.
My Kia Sorento 2019 blew the engine yesterday, after a deep dive, I found that these Kia/Hunday engines do have these oil consumption and blown engine issues. Didn't to my research last time but this time I'm taking a different approach. I know that no manufacturer is perfect and things happen but there's too many stories on this what happened to me.
We're looking to buy an SUV, ideally a 3-row seater. I'm in Texas, far west. Price range is under 40K, and I'm debating new vs used, since it looks like new you get all the original warranties. The Kia would've been fixable by dealer had I been original owner.
We don't commute since we both work from home but we do have the school commute to an elementary and then to a middle school. Plus with sports, we have to drive around town and to different cities.
My wife really likes the Ford Expeditions and Chevy Tahoes, but I was wondering what ya'll would say about them?
We'd also be open to a truck, like an F150 which we had before or a GMC Sierra, maybe even a Silverado.
Let me know if there is anything else I can provide.
