Midsized SUV that can tow 5000Lbs.
In the need for a second vehicle to be used mainly as a midsized fishing\ski boat hauler. I'd estimate the boat to be around 3-3300Lbs. I'd like a little extra wiggle room in case we want to haul something larger. My wife and I both WFH and our primary vehicle is a Rav4. (unfortunately has a 1500Lb tow rating).
We don't need a 3rd row, and ideally just want a 2 row vehicle. We only have one kid and that's all we'll have. It would be nice if they can drive his vehicle, they'll start driving in a few years.
I was pretty dead set on a 2018-2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Their mixed reliability though has kind of put that option on the back burner. Am I overthinking that one?
Trying to stay under $30K but could go up a little.
I was looking at a Ford Maverick, even with its 4K tow rating, but after driving them a few times, they ride kind of rough. I like a more cushy ride. Not interested in any Honda's, my last one was a nightmare.
What would you get?
