    Good to know. I don't expect to use the third row at all, I just want the room after I remove it.

    Advice on budget family camping vehicle (Sequoia, 4runner, LC, Taco? Domestic?)

    Okay, Jeep may be a nonstarter. Sequoia still seems to be leading the pack. Spoke to my wife a bit more tonight (as this project started with us buying a used truck for house chores and has become a family camper-mobile instead), and she likes the idea of hitting the dunes and camping back on...

    Advice on budget family camping vehicle (Sequoia, 4runner, LC, Taco? Domestic?)

    Thanks for your help guys. I've also found that a V8 Jeep WJ is well within my budget, and may split the size gap between a Sequoia and 4runner. Found some 2002-2004 Jeep's, nicely featured with 100-120k miles for $5000-6000. I've owned a 2wd XJ in the past, but that was my extent of Jeep...

    I've been looking for Excursions but anything close to my price range is already 200k miles plus, at least within a few state radius. Traveling for a vehicle isn't out of the question, but I'd like to really nail down a vehicle model first so I can focus my search.

    Advice on budget family camping vehicle (Sequoia, 4runner, LC, Taco? Domestic?)

    I hope this is the best spot for this post, if not I'm happy to try elsewhere. I'll try to keep this as short as I can. I'm looking for an SUV or truck (probably SUV) that will be a third vehicle for my wife and me (with one kid on the way). We both have daily drivers that get 28-30mpg so this...
