What I am looking for is a good toy hauler atvs and jetskis plus thinking about buying a small boat but I really don't like trucks. something under 23k fully loaded (ie leather,power,everything). Any ideas?

You can get a 2004/2005 Durango for that. I've got a 2004, but it's got the Hemi. You might be able to pull leather, but not the hemi and leather, unless you get lucky. The Durango with hemi will tow 9800lbs. IT has MDS (shuts down 4 cyl at cruise) and gets about 17mpg daily, and almost 20 (19.8) on freeway.

some Ford Escapes will do the trick, depending on how much you need to haul. Best you can get is a V6. Check it out.

I went to the pittsburgh auto show today. I must admit the new tahoe is nice very spacious, and will be very good for towing. If you want to stay with a japanese car maker i will agree the Xterra would be the way to go.

I had a Honda Passport(Izuzu Rodeo) that was the best suv i've ever owned(i've had a 4-runner/trailblazer/pathfinder). I'm not sure what the Rodeos are like now, but back then, it was pretty bad ***. I never had any problems and it was the most well rounded of all those i've owned.

as for suv's now-a-days, hmmm... I'm kinda out of the suv thing anymore. I think the new 4-runners are pretty neat though. I like the 4.0 V6.

EVO8RCR this is Chris who bought your SAFC2 (thanks again!)

I currently own a GMC Envoy XL which is great for hauling. We have a Sea Ray Signature series (25ft) boat which we haul along with a seadoo jetski; both with ease.
Actually, i am considering selling it, it is a 2003 Envoy XL (three rows of seating) 4x4 in cherry red.
