O.k, so me and my s.o. finally has the opportunity to do a cross country tour. I need something reliable, something 4wd or awd and enough room to sleep in or pull a very small camper. Below is a list of vehicles I'm currently looking at. I'm looking for peoples opinions, experiences and pros and cons of each vehicle. Please feel free to add any vehicle you feel is worthy of consideration. I'm not looking to spend a ton on the vehicle. Probably plan on doing roughly 15-25,000 miles before returning home. This trip will not be in the winter and will be a lot of mountain driving, and a lot of interstate driving with some congested city driving. I came here looking for help because I know the dsm community knows its automobiles pretty good. Thanks to anyone and everyone who will contribute to this thread!
