So I was up pretty late last night looking for SUVs/trucks... what do you guys think of the Nissan Xterra, Ford Explorer, and Toyota Rav4? I'm looking at cars from the 2002-2010 range and that I can spend less than 15k on but ideally less than 10k.

If I can get a truck for 10k I'm pretty confident that I can sell my current car for 9-10k and hopefully keep doing this forever to avoid a payment.

I also need a decent body shop to pull a dent out of my drivers side door because some jackass ran into my car and left.



Also, I'll be using the truck for mostly outdoor activities so there will be some offroading involved but nothing too intense as I'm going to avoid most of the rough trailheads for 14ers and I'll need room to toss my mountain bike in the back.
