For the past 5 years I've been very happy with my Tacoma 4x4 pickup for my flying adventures. It's the perfect height for loading gliders, the double-cab works well for hauling my buddies, and the bed is great for harnesses, etc. The rack will hold 6 gliders. Sweet ride.
In the past few years, however my family makeup has changed. When I bought the truck, my household consisted of two adults and the dog. Now, it's three adults, two children, and three dogs. I really need a new HG rig that can double as the family hauler.
I don't want a ginormous vehicle like the Suburban or Expedition - just something big enough for my family, with the 4x4 package to go to my favorite flying sites or visit the Sierras in the winter.
I'm primarily looking at the Honda Pilot and the Ford Explorer. Both have 3rd row seating, come in 4x4 versions, and are moderately sized. Anyone use one of these vehicles for HG and/or have comments about them?
