If you shop around, you can find some real bargains, especially with people trying to offload them for the latest model. Having a clearer picture of the cost shouldn't be a problem.
That's a good point. I've been talking to ERIC PAUL ELMER, my financial advisor, to make sure it's a smart move. He's helping me figure out if it fits into my long term financial plan
That's what l'm leaning backward a little. But the more I think about it, the more I feel like I could use some professional guidance. There are so many options, and I don't want to make a mistake.
@@flashnmb1 lmao, I was 15 when that came out. It's all skewed in stupid ways, with middle seat space and road noise somehow trumping everything else. A company can make the quietest SUV with the most amount of space, but if it's a gas guzzling beast with a ton of blind spots that breaks down every three months I'm not going to buy it. I'm not a huge fan of SUVs in general, and I wish well designed minivans and wagons were more prevalent. If I needed a ton of space for my family I'd buy a van that allows me to see a kid playing in front of it. Companies don't have to adhere to the same safety regulations with SUVs which is one of the reasons there are so many, most of which have terrible safety issues like roll overs and poor crash survivability.
Reliability is down the drain for most of these cars anyway. Especially in this day and age where all these cars have 500 HP 1.2L turbo engines and 20 speed transmissions
Another true fact, Toyota went back to the rear solid axle for the current Sequoia(mostly to save cost), which explains the smaller third row. The last generation had an IRS which made the third row roomier.
I have a Nissan Armada 2019. No issues/breakdown at all for 5 years. Yes the mpg is bad but thats all the same for most of the 3 row SUV’s. I also live in texas where gas price is lower than others and long comfortable rides is a must. I wouldn’t trade it for ur ford and gm’s. reliablity is top for me.
Times have changed, vehicles are infinitely more complex than they used to be. And because of that, Toyotas are not as reliable as they used to be. Plus many are now made in Mexico
How can you say the 2024 Nissan ARMADA and then post the 2025 model and I have never heard anyone complain about their ARMADA or an ARMADA in general .. People love V8 engines ... I sware I am unsubscribing from this channel cause everything is always done for clicks when you are misinforming people ... Nobody listens to Car & Driver , and Consumer Reports they don't know anything and only posted based on who they get financial support from ...
I know what you mean, I'm in Japan right now and the Suzuki Jimny is the only thing that makes sense to call a genuine compact SUV as it is kei sized. A proper body on frame SUV not some subcompact class car on stilts and is overpriced. These cars are such a farce because they're a subcompact experience, with a fake SUV influenced body and a compact car price. In return I get to sit 2 inches higher but waste more fuel money moving a slower, worse handling, cramped mall finder. I get the government sheets for a few of the Hyundais and even Hyundai via government data has to tell me the Venue is worse for the environment and for fuel than the bigger more powerful engined Elantra.
What in the world is going on here. Everything is ass backwards. 2024 Armada V8 not reliable but shows a 2025 model year Y63 twin turbo V6. GM products are... 3 LETTERS FOR YOU AFM kills its engines
Why isn’t every crossover ever made on this list? If you need a real utility vehicle or off-roader, go get a truck or a purpose built off-roader like the bronco. If you need a family car, go get a sedan or wagon.
If they made an Excursion or an HD suburban they would sell no matter the price tag. Big gas or diesel 1 ton chassis 3 row SUV with insane bumper tow capability.
I've always dreamt of owning a Porsche Cayenne but I discovered they are out of my league.
Yeah, I'm curious too. Having a BMW X5 has been my dream but the price tags are insane.
Yeah, I've seen some SUVs ranging from £70k to £100k and other models digging deep into the £213k range.

I feel like these reviews and this channel are heavily influenced by corporate funding.
Nailed It ! CR report’s are biased; I remember when they stated Eagle Premiere was the greatest thing on 4 wheels, what a shit box.

You're not doing enough reliability analysis. Ford leads the pack for recalls and has a terrible reputation for reliability.
only for some models and engines mainly smaller ones
Yeah and what about Toyota’s recent track record? It’s not 1990 anymore, all brands are pretty shit
Reliability is down the drain for most of these cars anyway. Especially in this day and age where all these cars have 500 HP 1.2L turbo engines and 20 speed transmissions
@@kingdeedee exactly … old Japanese cars were super reliable because they were extremely underpowered and simple. Polar opposite of today’s vehicles

Who is this video for? People that plans only keeping the SUV the first 30k miles or what 😂😂😂
If you need a 3 row SUV, no, you don't. You need a Sienna. If you need an F150, no, you don't. You need a taco.
🌈 🏳️⚧️ Toyota Tacoma! 🏳️🌈 ⚧️
@JohnRayAllDay I've seen more Tacomas working than I have f150s and rams. If you think a taco is gay or whatever issue you have, that's on you.
You keep saying the 2024 Armada but consistently show the 2025 Armada.., what’s with that!🤷🏾♂️
Stop confusing us
lol buy an Escalade over a Lexus LX. Sure if you want to spend most of the time driving a service loaner you do you.
The Lexus LX was posted and I'm shocked to see a vehicle to stay away from even though Lexus/Toyota is known for Durability & Reliability.
the 3.5l twin turbo v6 has some issues tho
A Lexus should never be on the same list as a ford for reliability 😂 whether it's for good or bad
Times have changed, vehicles are infinitely more complex than they used to be. And because of that, Toyotas are not as reliable as they used to be. Plus many are now made in Mexico
Everybody would be better off choosing a car instead of a SUV. Except for the automotive industry shareholders.
Exactly
I think all Teslas are just regular class they aren’t luxury cars
It’s nice to see the Escalade highly ranked. Didn’t know about the features, gonna check it out.

Prioritizing space and top price over reliability durability!! Don’t know what buyers are idiots
The 2024 QX60 runs great mileage is okay but still a great car
I like your approach of cross reference ratings from three websites.
The expedition engine is trash!!!!!
That's the 2025 armada...
It was only a matter of time before we caught to the Japanese.
How Disappointing from the Lexus 😢 the predecessor was King 👑
I disagree with this entire list, SUVs I’d stay away from are the 2020+ Mercedes GLE/ GLS, and the newly redesigned Traverse, Enclave, and Acadia
You should have made a vid 👀
@@StandOwtPhoto I might in the near future
The armada has been on every "do not buy" list due to quality issues. Disagree or not, it's a bad vehicle.
@@scottlowell493 what quality issues? I’ve mainly heard good things about it
I owned the GLE AMG 43 it is an excellent SUV
My only SUV is a 3 door 1999 Hyundai Galloper which I use off road or when the weather is really bad
did you get the mic flip the first time in this one too?
wish we had compact SUVs again
There are several, do you mean midsized?
You mean besides the Kona, the CX-30, the HR-V, the trax, the trailblazer, and the seltos?

I picked the Escalade! 👍🏼💪🏽😎
I noticed a pattern, you are telling us viewers to avoid Japanese cars! And instead buy American cars?! (Not to mention the one German car)
The Nissan Armada does nothing wrong to anyone.
all these suvs are junk...
Found the Volvo guy
2:54 for tax purposes 😂😂
Mazda CX70 💪💪💪
