3 Biggest Used SUVs Over XNUMX Years Old You Can Choose From Reliability
If you're looking for a used SUV, these options may be right for you because of their reliability and affordability.
SUVs These are not only vehicles that have gained a lot of power today, but also due to their great demand, they have become high cost vehicles that are not always available to buyers. So it's no surprise that more buyers are turning to the market for their next SUV purchase.
With the sheer number of off-road vehicles available, it can be a challenge to choose which one is the best. Luckily, here we are going to tell you about some of the most reliable 3 year old SUVs out there. Beyond simple reliability, these full-size SUVs have suffered a lot in terms of cushioning, making them affordable to potential buyers as well.
1. Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon
The most popular large SUVs are almost identical, which means they share the same platform and powertrain. As a result, both the Chevy Tahoe and the GMC Yukon received top reliability ratings on the Consumer Reports list.
One of the main selling points of these SUVs is their naturally aspirated V8 engines. Available with 5.3-litre engine producing 355 hp. or a 6.2-liter engine producing 420 hp, these SUVs have over 8,300 pounds of towing capacity. An all-wheel drive system is available; however, rear-wheel drive is standard.
In addition to rugged SUVs, Chevy and GMC offered available Magent Ride Control, which greatly improved ride quality. Other notable options include Apple CarPlay and automatic emergency braking. Both the Chevy and GMC currently sell for around $38,000. Be careful not to go for the cheapest deal, and make sure your next potential SUV has all the options you want.
2. Mercedes-Benz GLS
It's unusual to find large luxury SUVs on the reliable list, given their complex designs and costly maintenance requirements. Fortunately for buyers in the luxury segment of the market, the Mercedes-Benz GLS appears to be the exception. In addition to solid reliability, the GLS also suffers the most from wear and tear. With a starting price of around $70,000 before options, it's surprising to see them often trading for less than $48,000 for the base GLS 450. If wallet allows, buyers can opt for the GLS 550 with the V-hp engine.
The GLS was also fitted with a smooth nine-speed and air suspension on all four wheels, allowing the rider to choose ride height and stiffness. While the overall reliability seems to be very reliable, the most common complaint among owners seems to be the failure of the car's electronics, such as the infotainment screen. Repairing complex electronic components can quickly become expensive. Despite this, there were no major complaints about the engine, suspension or transmission.
3. Lexus LH
The Lexus LX is the largest, most expensive, and least damped SUV on this list. Based on the iconic Land Cruiser from , the Lexus LX is a luxury version of a serious SUV. The result is a luxurious interior, adjustable suspension with high ground clearance, locking differentials and a powerful V8 engine. With a starting price of around $90,000, the LX is far from affordable.
Luckily for buyers, used LXs still sell for just under $70,000, which means decent value retention. What's more, as the depreciation effect begins to wear off, these full-size SUVs should remain in this price range for years to come.
Despite its iconic history and luxury offerings, the Lexus LX received poor marks in terms of owner satisfaction, primarily due to interior build quality and paint issues. All major components such as the engine, suspension, and transmission received top marks, making it a great used buy.
