VW Atlas

If one wanted a new non-luxury SUV with decent amount of 3rd row leg room and not horrible reliability, what would one get?

I was thinking Grand Highlander, but the more I look at it, the more boring it seems, both exterior and interior.

Throw some ideas my way, please.

VW Atlas? The third row has alot of space and will fit a 5'10" to 6' person no problem

We are over a year into our ownership of our 2025 Pro4x Armada. I have to say it exceeds my expectations. It continues to impress me. The drivetrain is most impressive, powerful smooth. The interior is very high quality. We drove several competitors to the Armada before we purchased it and I was reluctant to do so really. This is the first Nissan I have ever owned. The build quality and the engine is what got me. It really seems to be built well. Time will tell though.

They are awesome vehicles. Just be very diligent with oil changes on that VK56VD engine.

It iw a VR35DDTT 3.5LV6 not the same engine. It will get 5k oil changes though.

The VR35DDTT was announced in March 2024 for the third-generation Infiniti QX80. It is also used in the related Nissan Patrol/Armada. It is a larger version of the VR30DDTT and replaces the 5.6-liter VK56 V8 engine in Nissan's largest automobiles. A bore and stroke of 86 mm × 100.2 mm (3.39 in × 3.94 in) makes for an overall displacement of 3.5 L (3,492 cc; 213.1 cu in).
The VR is a series of twin-turbo DOHC V6 automobile engines from Nissan with displacements of 3.0, 3.5, and 3.8 L. An evolution of the widely successful VQ series, it also draws on developments from the VRH, JGTC, and Nissan R390 GT1 Le Mans racing engines.

We rented an Expedition for 4 guys for ski trip. Easily a 5 passenger vehicle and ton of luggage space.

I totally forgot about the new ones having the twin turbo 3.5. Seems to be getting excellent reviews. The old port injected VK56 was an excellent engine. I don't have faith in the later GDI VK56VD.
