+1000 I have a 1996 Chevy Tahoe. One owner, just went over 100K this month. Great truck, love it to death.

Cheap to buy. I bet money you save on insurance and purchase price vs. a CRV or other econobox SUV crap will cover the difference in gas price...

I wouldnt trust anything FWD based for winter duty. FWD is ok in snow, but anywhere an FWD econobox SUV can get you out of, your BMW can probably get you out of...

When someone says I need a car for winter, I think Tahoe/Explorer, I dont think CRV and RAV4 will cut it.

If you need car-based, go Subaru. If you want a truck get a truck, but CRVs and RAV4s arent good for anything.

Explorers are junk though
