If you're looking for a three-row crossover, the 2017 GMC Acadia is a very competitive choice.
It's not as spacious as its Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave siblings, but it is thriftier, easier to maneuver, and offers more safety features.
The redesigned Honda Pilot makes great use of its space and offers similar interior quality.
The Ford Explorer offers a sporty driving experience and more power from its turbocharged V-6, but interior space isn't as well utilized.
The Dodge Durango is also quite sporty, and it offers V-8 power.
The Toyota Highlander is also worth a look.
It offers decent handling, plenty of space, and fine drivetrains, including a hybrid.
