Looking into a suv with towing and seating. Thinking about some used Darangos or Tahoe or yokons. Looking at early 2000's. Any one better or worse than the other?
Used suv question?

Love my explorer.
00ish mercury mountainer, no resale but can get one with a 302 and full size trans.
How much are you expecting to tow?
Take a look at the Infiniti QX4 (SUV). I owned an '02 for 6 years and loved it. Very solid vehicle. More solid IMO than the Nissan Pathfinder version. When I sold it last November it was as solid and rattle free as the day I bought it. Good looking SUV, too. JMO.
I have a 99 Tahoe and have no complaints. Will tow whatever you need it to within reason, gets decent highway mpg's, is comfy, has lots of room inside, easy to work on, and can be had for relatively inexpensive.
LOVE my 03 Mountaineer
Nothing too big, small trailor. Right plans are to move across country.
No Jeep Gr Cherokee on your list? I have a 2000 still going strong. V8 with tow pkg. Pulls up to 6500 lbs. Very capable off road. Parts are easy to get.
IMO all SUV's that are that old you really need to have looked at closely. Can have alot of problems with transfer cases and the usual stuff.
I would look at a Tahoe or Yukon from your list. First generation Durangos were dogs.

Jeeps are worth looking at. Just named off the top of my head. Just looking for any input on the good and bad anyone heard
We have an 07 tahoe. Stay FAR away....... unless your interested in buying outs LOL
My bother's has been a gem. If you want a full size SUV, the tahoe is probably your best bet
Ours has been downright awful. probably been in the shop 30 times in 110k miles
I drove an 07 avalanche for work. I loved it. Never had an issue with it.
The early 2000 Tahoes are nice. The 5.3l engines are great. Idk much about explorers, but go test drive them all and see what one you like best.
