Hey, they are pretty versatile vehicles, you can haul a lawn mower if you have to, or a swim team, all your camping gear and kids, and also get pretty decent fuel milage while doing - with less chance of rollover than say a Expedition. The Touring is nice, but beware the special PAX tires, do a search here on them and spend about 2 days reading all the comments! They are expensive, hard to find and the rims will not hold other tires. You can get EX or EXL that is really nice for less $, just a suggestion.
