Looking to purchase a new suv this year. Would like to keep it $60k and under. Prefer 3rd row seating and good in the sand. Anyone have any info on these new models that came out?

I don't know about new vehicles, but paying $60 grand for a beach vehicle shows how out of whack new car prices are these days.
My first house was less than that.

Hi, If you have to buy new, go with a Toyota 4 Runner.

Suburban for sure, I'm on my fourth. You can even sleep in one.

Just make sure it has 4 wheel drive and not just all wheel drive. Otherwise, most will do well in sand at correct tire pressure.

What ever you get, make sure you get the rust protection/coating applied at/by the dealership. When I finally sold my expedition, after 10 years in the sand and in the woods, my beast had no visible rust anywhere.

What about a 4x4 converted van like a Quigley or Sportsmobiel.

You didn't say specifically when you were thinking of purchasing, but everything I have seen and read about the new Jeep trucks coming out looks very promising.

In sand there is constant slippage between wheels. The system is constantly trying to shift power. This has been reported to be very hard on the system

Have you test driven anything yet? I still think a Suburban or Tahoe would fit your needs. Suburban for more room.
Ive had both and both were great on the sand.
For a daily driver i would choose Tahoe, but the Suburban has so much more room for gear.

i wish i had not ever sold my Tahoe.

I'm going to the Richmond show in a couple weeks the tahoe is one I've been eyeballing. Just seeing other people's opinions on all the current line ups. I think I've crossed off the Sequoia just because of the worst in class gas mileage
