HI guys - my TT cab arrives in Dec and i can't bear the thought of putting snow tires on it. So I'm thinking of getting an inexpensive SUV for a second car. I'm thinking about getting a new or used Ford Explorer V8... owned a 1992 manual transmission 4x4 and was pretty happy with it. Just want something basic and under $35k. Any thoughts? Thanks

See if you can get a good deal of a 6-speed Cayenne V6 from your dealer.
Yes, I know it is a Volkswagen V6, but I don't see any problem with that as Volkswagen to me is a good car maker. You may pay a little more up front, but will get it back in resale. The Cayenne will definitely match up nicely with your TT than any other SUV out there.

Yukon Denali because of the 300 hp and 3 rows of seats. The 4runner if you are concerned with resale. It will hold up a whole lot better than any VW.

if all you want is awd and ground clearance, take advantage of the low leasing/financing rates on a subaru outback or foraster. for in the low 20's, you can get a new car with a warranty that has crash test results better then any suv, as it must conform to auto standards.

If you really want value then a used Land Cruiser is the way to
go. If you can get into a 98 then you get a V8. the 4.7 is a sweet
motor. If not the 4.5 straight six is absolutely bullet proof.
The 93 and newer got the lexus designed 4.5 and the new
EC Tranny. They are very comfortable and great in the snow.
I had a 93 and got caught in several huge snow storms in
central Nevada and Idaho and I had no problems. you get
room, amenities and someone else took the huge depreciation
hit. This goes for the Lexus LX 470 too.
