3 Row SUV help! We are town between two! TX & Acadia
Looking for a new family hauler. We test drove A LOT of 3 row suvs and have settle on a 26 Lexus TX 500H f sport luxury or a 26 GMC Acadia Denali Ultimate. We are a family of 4 with a dog. My wife test drove a Tahoe and Yukon and does not like driving the bigger truck like vehicle. We are coming from a mini van but all the new ones feel underpowered to her. I say all that to say it’s truly between these two vehicles. We appreciate other recommendations, but are solidly settled on these two.
My question is if anyone here is currently living with either vehicle ? I’d like to hear what gripes you have living with the vehicle and a surprising positive you may like that you didn’t realize until a month or two of ownership.
I believe Both were redesigned in 2024 so there should be some years of ownership with these.
Also curious if anyone is having any reliability issues with these vehicles?
We love the spacing and tech of the Acadia. Its interior is beautiful and gauge cluster / screens are better than Lexus. Lexus has the better seats and an incredible ride. Quiet, good suspension, good power, but we wish the tech and interior felt a tad more luxurious. Ones cheaper and ones more reliable (potential savings on back end). We feel the pros of one are the cons of the other and vice-a-versa. Blended together it would be the perfect vehicle.
Oftentimes the honey moon and newness of a new vehicle can wear off after 6 months or so and then the raw practicality and utility come into play more. We’re trying to figure out what that may look like more so.
Any and all experiences are welcomed! And any tips how to better work through being stuck between two vehicles are welcome.
Thanks and have a blessed day!
