Older, reliable, 3rd vehicle?

If you want to go budge, consider a late first gen Highlander. I recently bought a 2006 with 281k miles form a guy that was meticulous about maintenance for $4500. So far, I love this thing. The gas mileage is ass-mileage ~18MPG combined, but is drives like a similar vintage Lexus. Alternately, I don't think the Sequoia get much worse mileage and will tow.

I would absolutely kill for 18MPG in my Landcruiser!

Yeah you're not going to do much better than 18 mpg in a full size SUV

Beats the 9 I get in my '99 F250 V10, but it can tow!

Isuzu is probably the most underrated cheap reliable offroad SUV.

This is coming from a lexus guy. I love the daylights out of my GX470.
