I drive the new explorers and the tahoes on a daily basis at work and I must say....the explorer out performs the Tahoe by a longshot and is pretty impressive from a performance aspect. I can only imagine what a fully equipped one is like. However, if performance isn't too much of an issue I give the Tahoe a thumbs up for comfort and room. So being that you're gonna need room for three car seats, the Tahoe would be my recommendation.

I'm thinking about the v-6 explorer, I'm too sure about the 4cyl, even if it is evoboost. What do you drive at work the v6 or the 4?

I know you said the Tahoe is to big... But we got my wife the limited expedition el and we both love that thing. Best truck I've ever owned. We take trips to Alabama every year and I don't mind it since we've gotten it 3 years ago

My wife drives a 2010 Pathfinder and loves it... but they are now a cross-over 2013/14. Surprised Nissan changed the model that drastically! :spank:

Forget those gaz-guzzling SUVs and crossovers! Get a minivan! :mrgreen:

A friend of mine very reluctantly did recently. He quickly got over a considerable amount of teasing, etc. and he is quite pleased with his decision. Much more space than all but the largest SUVs and a lot easier on the wallet.
