Looking to get a Newer Toad - my 2001 275,000 mile MDX is almost done.
Options?
Jeep Commander Limited - Good - is Off Road 4x4 - BAD - Jeep.
Explorer Limited - Good - Ford, tame off road nicer - Bad?
MDX 2006 is the last year with the Toab able transmission. Been a great car but just want to be sure there is something else that I should consider. Good - I have a great History with the old MDX - Bad hard to name anything I dislike other than would like a little more off road ability.
The MDX has been great and owes me nothing - but need to have a Toad that can haul at least 4 Granddaughters, would love the Jeep but it's a JEEP (Four Letter Word, in my book) Needs to be tame enough that DW will drive and use if we are out on the road for a while.
Looking on the Class A forum as these are the ones who IMHO Know what's out there.
Thanks, Give me as much info as possible - good, bad and OTHER.

Back again, New Question - Really Want/Need/Desire to be able to go OFF ROAD - so the Jeep Commander keeps CALLING - but it's a JEEP and not that good a vehicle - BUT it will GO in the 4X4 trails and that's the mission, plus on road manners for the DW.(Reliability is also critical)
Explorer - will it do it? - or am I just dreaming,thinking it is as an OFF ROAD option.
I already know about the the MDX (275k miles) but it is not going to make it off the roads I like.
So the question is - Jeep Commander (Need room for 7) or Ford Explorer??????????????????? Both these have highway manors so the DW will drive, Critical for the next choice.
Help me out and Focus on the Question,
Thanks
No, anything GM makes will not qualify!!!!!!
