If your kids are still in car seats and a third is a strong possibility, I'd be looking at the early/mid 90's Land Cruiser/Lexus. Inexpensive, solid front axle and more room front and back. A lot of these were never abused off-road and were second or third vehicles so the mileage isn't all that bad for the age. |
I never even thought about a Land Cruiser/Lexus...but I'd imagine there isn't half the aftermarket support as a GC. Both my boys are current in car seats, but by time the third comes around, the oldest boy will only be in a booster seat.
