Thinking about starting to look for a new to me ride.
Currently have a truck (4x4, 180k miles 2003 GMC) and a old work car. Will probably keep the truck. I'm thinking about a smaller SUV to pull double duty replace work car and maybe out of state turkey hunting trips. A newer truck would be nice, but can't really justify the cost.
Looking for your suggestions/experiences.
Thanks!

This is my ride with 364,000 miles. 1991 model but bought it in 2012.



Next truck will be a 4wd but I will probably stick with Toyota. This one has been good to me

I am a gmc/chevy guy myself. Had good luck with them. Bout to replace mine in a month or two. I hate the looks of a 4 door but I love being able to haul the family on vacation as well as throw my hunting stuff in the back and go. The company I work for gave me a truck for work so my personal truck doesn't rack up many miles Cept on weekends and during hunting season. My last one has lasted ten years and I now have 108,000 miles on it. Been a good truck and I kinda hate to see it go. That being said I had an early 2000's blazer that made a heck of a hunting rig. The 4.3 vortech motor was a great one.

I was in your place a  couple years ago.  I did the Jeep Patriot shown below. AWD and still gets 27-29 on the road and 23-25 in the city. I got the Sport 2.4L motor and the 6 speed auto and crank windows. The cold weather package came with 17" alloy wheels,  off road tires and tow hooks. Under 20k new.

05 with only 90,000 miles you must have some short drives

2016 f150 fx4. Bought it just before rifle season in the fall. Got the bed bloody with a buck a week after I got it. Hope to get some turkey blood on it this spring.

I bought it new. Sits in the garage most the time. Use it for deer hunting,turkeys,and a little running around.
