You should NOT be buying an $80k vehicle only making $250k a year.
“Only” making 250k/yr… Man get real. Lotta people buying 80K vehicles are not even making 80k a year. If you’re making 250K+/yr buy whatever you want.

You guys are funny… $100k for a rig is nothing
If you can’t afford it, you can’t afford the gas either…

That makes you a used truck buyer.. aka a buyer if other peoples heads aches with no recourse and occasionally a lot of regret's.

I am a man, I can change, if I have to, I guess.

That said, my wife’s Hyundai Palisade is the best car we have owned in a long time.

And that is the first New car we have bought since 1999. But we are retired and can afford it.

Good luck on your purchase!
Hate to say it, but my daughter is going back to a Palisade after owning another brand for 3 years. She had 22 and loved it. Said it had far more features for the money and overall was just a great vehicle. Can't deny that it come with a lot more than most vehicles for the money.

Hyundai's (and Kia's) are great till they get to 100k miles...whole engine is pretty much done at that point...Which, depeding on luck of the draw on your 6.2, may be 3x longer than you get from the General. But the Palisade/Telluride is more Pilot, Traverse, Acadia than it is Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon/XL

I rented a Palisade on a Colorado week vacation ( Vail ).... about 8 months ago.... Beside a few weird accessory glitches, the driver's seat would adjust, after the car was in drive, and both my hands were on the steering wheel..... !!

Well, they are 10/100 on powertrain. That's not terrible...... Especially for those that keep them a long time and don't drive a ton of miles a year.

Funny, my friend has a 2012 Santa Fe that is still going strong at 250K miles. No issues, just regular service.
