Suvs need a v8 to be cool

Prado would've been the Lexus GX. The new ones are also turbo hybrid V6 slop because Toyota is now retarded.
The new US-spec "Land Cruiser" is also technically a Prado, but it's also been neutered with a 4cyl hybrid powertrain as well.

New? Probably one of these if were actually purchasable and not a couple million bucks. It seems like a GMT800 Yukon XL or Burb is as good as it gets and there isn't any point in buying any other SUV imo. I wouldn't go back to a 6 lug SUV or anything with less space than that.

>>28859887
Any SUV that actually has an interesting drivetrain, probably has a car counterpart with the same (or better) guts. So there's no reason to buy an SUV unless you live in the literal wilderness, and no, dirt roads don't count.

I prefer the QX50/EX37 refresh because of its smaller size and hatchback proportions. It also supposedly have more rear legroom (QX50 refresh) because they stretch the wheelbase, but I do appreciate the vented front seats of the FX/QX70 and the V8 too, but I still like the VQ37.
I would actually buy this Infiniti SUV for the purpose of towing my car to and from the track when I have kids that don't fit my rear seats. I would also only do this when I have the money and Nissan/Infiniti Depreciation destroys its value

I don't generally like SUV's because they typically make a lot of tradeoffs that don't seem worth it, but the new-ish maxda cx-70 looks like it would be a good time

Yeah that sounds like it agrees with the other anon's description "V6 accord truck". There's nothing remotely interesting about an accord.

I know I would buy one, because I did. I always thought Discos were just slightly less utilitarian Defenders, but turns out they're more like a budget Range Rover. Very comfy, very well equipped, and built better than I thought. I originally bought it to sell on, but I liked it so much that I'm actually gonna keep it.

If it ain't square,
I don't care.

Yep. Yep. I would buy that

>>28861573
It's always a relative thing, at any given power, ride quality, or theme, the sedan/coupe ride be faster, handle better, and have more character. SUV's make too many tradeoffs to give it the ability to tow, the optimal configuration is always to have a nice car and a cheap truck. Not to say you can't have a fun SUV, but you may as well split the duties

The older ones pop up for sale. Maximum Deep State right there.

>>28863941
I wouldn't really have much use for the armoring. I guess people couldn't smash your windows very easily. I mostly want them just because they're a new 3/4 ton SUV which doesn't exist anymore on the consumer market.

In which case, it's GSA Auctions for the ex-police liquidations. Most aren't armored, it's mostly for SWAT teams that load them heavy with equipment. I don't know where people get the idea that they'll stuff eight door kickers with a Suburban, because that's what the black minivan is for.
