Hey Justin, I'd suggest you buying a vehicle you want to drive around for whatever (Nice SUV, car, whatever) and buy an older SUV (4wd to those of us who have an older one). I have an 85 K5 chevy blazer that tows my sled, travel trailer, cat trailer with no problem. Hell, I've had my 16ft cat strapped to the roof and my travel trailer hooked up behind and ran to the Hoh at 70mph with no problems at all. Plus there's a couple bonuses to new (you don't have a fancy rig to worry about being vandalized at the dropin and it's ALOT cheaper). The key is if you don't know about buying a used 4wd is to have one of these "car buying experts" do a check on the vehicle (registration and mechanical checks). You are alot less likely to buy a lemon if you buy this way. I bought my 85 years ago, and have put over 86K on it and is finally having problems (it has over 190K on it now, so it will have problems with amount of driving and offroading I've done with it). It's a good way to go, especially if you want to take alot of guys and gear, you can move up to an older suburban. Just an idea....Jerry
