Too bad that 3 of the 4 in that link you posted don’t meet your towing requirement.
What about going more truck based? 4runner, pathfinder, explorer, trailblazer etc? Body on frame may be low tech, but it’s great when you’re hanging 3500 lbs off the back.
I really like the looks/gas mileage/interior space of the new crossovers too, but very few of them meet my utility requirements. When it comes time to replace the Expedition (which hopefully won’t be for a while since it’s almost paid off) I’m hoping the Acadia is fairing well and has a decent used market. What I’ve read and seen of that vehicle has impressed me. How did it drive, putting aside your GM hate.

i dont hate GM, and if i get the best deal on one, then i will get it, it drove nice, kind-a slugish getting out of the cx9, but over all for fit function 6 of 10, cx9 7 of10. If the cx9 had a 4.5k tow then i would have bought one. lets see how the honda does.
