Did a little run today from College and the 95 through the mountain to the dry lakebed as you’re going to Laughlin. Pretty cool little trail.

Great choice!  We enjoy ours, seats are great and lots of storage compared to our Explorers that were used for the first 8 years towing a 177.

Used vehicle prices have started coming down. Maybe not as fast as anyone wants, but they are coming down.
