Wife currently drives a 19' Chevy Equinox with the 2.0 turbo.
Prior to that we've had a 13' Equinox for 5 years, a 17 Traverse for 1.5 years and I still have my 98 GMC truck 4wd reg cab longed with 202k miles.
I should probably write a comparison between the GM stuff and my new to me 2010 sr5...
I needed a 3rd vehicle that:
4wd
Tow a pontoon
Carry at least 4 people comfortably
Under $20k
Reliable
It was between a GM or Toyota
I like most GM stuff but don't trust the electronics at that age and price point. I say this as I own a 98 GMC truck with 202k miles.
Had an MP9c with external safety. It's ok but the trigger is awful. You can very slowly squeeze the trigger all the way without releasing the striker.
My department issue is a glock 19. I've never really liked them until this one. After about 1k rounds they really grow on you. At least mine...
Congrats. No way I'd let that 97 sit so close to half a million miles though. I'd find somewhere to drive, maybe 60 miles each way for an ice cream or something.
Just picked up a 2010 with 164k as a 3rd vehicle for me to haul kids and the boat with occasional light off road use.
I expect it to get 6k miles a year. Hopefully I can get a few more years from it.
So far it's been great and can tell the previous owner took good care of it. It certainly...
Nothing worth taking a pic of that everyone hasn't seen before.
Every day carry on and off duty is a glock 19
Bought my last glock 23 service pistol back when we changed to the 19 for $200
A couple of Marlin 30-30s that my son and I deer hunt with.
S&W 686 .357 for fun
An underrated favorite...
I don't have a lot of miles on mine yet but the short answer is whatever it takes to keep up with traffic. About 75mph on interstate.
It's a BIG change from my daily work vehicle, a police package explorer which is a Taurus on stilts.
