Uh, why wouldn't you just get a pickup with a second row? Those have been around for a long time. If you don't like pickups, then you won't like them, but if you don't mind a pickup, then they are exponentially less awful than this mutation.[/quote]

Well, I guess one thing is that that fugly Jeep is cheaper than the "luxury"  second row pickups. [/quote]

No way. Jeeps are more expensive than most trucks. We're getting a Gladiator Rubicon and it's 50k. You don't want the base model because they come with absolutely nothing. The Gladiator sports look cheaper. [/quote]

Most of the second-row trucks that are being marketed as family haulers are way more than 50k. [/quote]

Which mid-size truck is way more than $50k? Decked out Rubicon gladiators run $64k. They are really expensive, but pretty cool considering you get all the fun of a Jeep plus more. [/quote]

Most of the trucks being marketed as family haulers are full sized. If you look at the trucks at dealerships, there are plenty of 70k and 80k options that are being aimed at suburban dads--the male version of those mom SUVs. A loaded Denali runs you about 70,000. The prices of trucks have gone up in recent years as they started making versions that are really meant as luxury family haulers and not work vehicles. [/quote]

I’m not the PP that brought up prices, but I feel like this is an unfair comparison. The gladiator is a midsize truck and is not marketed as a family hauler is any advertisement I have ever seen. The gladiator doesn’t even seem like an alternative for someone considering a Denali. I’m sure there are trucks that cost 80k, but I’m not really sure why or how that applies to the topic at hand. [/quote]

Its not advertised as a family hauler but it would work fine but it would be tight with no truck and room for kids stuff except in the bed.  Any decent SUV I looked at as a family hauler was $40-50K new and I wasn't going for fancy.[/quote]
