My camaro was my first car and ive had it for 4 years but its starting to get to me and I think Its time for a change. Being a tall guy getting in and out of the car is starting to bother my left knee and so Im starting to look for a taller suv or truck for my dd - 40 miles/day avg the past 2 months. gas was a concern at first but when i thnk about it im only getting 18 or so mpg with the 3.4 maro.
Looking at cars no older than 2002 and with under 100k and under or right around $10k and I have found a bunch but looking for opinions and thoghts on the following:

02+ Explorer
Dodge Ram crew cab 4.7L (Always wanted a truck)
Durango
Aviator
Jeep Cherokee

Im gona keep rebuilding the firebird but sell the camaro and DD the suv or truck. Just need something newer and more reliable with working heat and 4x4 for the winter. Made it through the past 4 winters with the maro but dont want to do it again.
