This is a little off topic, but I guess it is tractor related in the fact it will help me keep my tractor hauler/
towing pick up going longer. My grandson turns 21 next month and his other grandparents want to give him some
money(10K)so he can replace his worn out 1998 Honda Odessy minivan. Where I come in is that he borrows my F-150 pick
up to tow a trailer loaded with band equipment(5 x 8 U-haul) and luggage. There are four other guys in this band
and this month on one of their trips they put almost 1,700 miles on my truck and were gone for a week. I don't have
a problem lending him my truck, but he now wants to purchase something like a Ford Explorer or a Chevy Tahoe or the
GMC equivalent. He is not brand specific yet. Some where in the year range of 2005-2009 if that is in the price range. What do you people
recommend to look at or shy away from? What engine choice, but no 4 wheel drive. He lives in Perry, Ga. and is still single and in college.He also holds down a full
time job and commutes about 40 miles a day to college classes in the early evening. Thanks for the amazing knowledge you people share on this site.. Gene Davis
