UPS drivers & their pickup trucks.

The new Tacomas are sweet! I traded my 4 door wrangler in for a Subaru WRX and it is one of the most fun cars I have owned.

American made too!

My parents had several and my dad is a retired Teamster. Always embarrassed me seeing them driving a republican car.

I like my truck. Best vehicle I've ever bought

If I ever got a truck it would be a smaller one, like a Tacoma or Frontier. Not a fan of the big ass, four-door luxo trucks.

A big ass luxo truck would not even fit inside of my garage. I like all my vehicles indoors every night.

Is anything truly "American Made" anymore?----------------No

Why no body on frame?

Because then it still drives like a truck. Sure, today's trucks ride really nice, but still not like a unibody structured vehicle.

Sure, my 2013 Sentra was built in Mexico. Actually most Jap cars sold in this country are made in the southern U.S.

you must still be young. I drove "sports cars" my first dozen years at UPS. Now at 41, getting in and out of an SUV is soooooo much easier. 22.5 years at this place can tear you up.

I am getting an "SUV" as my next vehicle. I have no interest in sports cars. I have a family and the segment I like most anyway is mid-size crossovers. I was noting that I would't get a truck based traditional SUV. They are a dying breed although you'll always have a handful left to choose.

I love vehicles like...

Next Mazda CX-9
Toyota Highlander
Kia Sorento
Ford Exployer

It's cute that people think "American" vehicles are still American. Honda and Toyotas are more American these days than the so called domestic vehicles.

Try a Nissan Rogue. My daughter has one and it is a fun car to drive.

I got a 2015 Silverado crew cab when I went FT. Need a truck in the winters here or you're in trouble. I'm a pretty simple guy, don't spend much on myself. That was my "Good job buddy" gift to myself.

I remember when they had that cash for clunkers rebate going I was with my folks shopping for cars. Of course the Ford sales guy says all the money stays in America. Besides the whole transmission being made in Canada and engine business in Mexico thing. Yet the Toyota was built and assembled in I believe Kentucky.

Most of the cars sold in the US are still made in the US. Most Toyota's, Honda's, Nissan's, etc. sold in the US are assembled right here. Some parts suppliers may come elsewhere. Not many of the Japanese and Korean branded models sold here are built in Japan and Korea. Just select vehicles that are more popular oversees.

A Toyota? Never!!!

Have something against the highest quality?

Get the High Country model? Air condition seats and heated steering wheel? Diesel engine?

They may be assembled in the US. But all the primary components are made in Canada or Mexico.

I've checked all of those (except the next CX-9), but based on all of them and the current CX-9........check out the new Pilot. RIDICULOUS!!! By far my favorite vehicle in it's class. And this is NOT a biased opinion. I'm a car guy all around I just happened to have owned a lot of Hondas (mostly CRX's). My least favorite of your options is the Kia. You couldn't get me to drive a KIA even if you were buying it for me. Junk. The Highlander is just so blah. One of my least favorite in it's class. But it certainly wins a little in reliability. The Explorer is a super sexy ride indeed. My main problem with them is reliability and resale. the CX-9 was a pretty nice vehicle as well. Another orion is the Nissan Murano or even the Rogue. One of those will be my wife's next new car. They are both very very nice cars. And the transmission in the Murano is seamless. You can be pedal to the floor and not feel a single shift with it's CVT tranny. So smooth.

They're all sh*. I just get whatever appeals to me most at the time.

A size to small. I don't like Nissan that much. The Pathfinder is the competitor to what I'm looking for and it's lousy.
